First of all, thanks for making such a great remake, it's way better than the original game!

But please add a way to turn off logging and replays. Inside the Users folder I've found out there are hundreds of megabytes of trash. You are logging each and every frame for no reason. And replaying hours of Settlers 2, most likely no one will ever do that. Are you guys aware of this? You should check that output folder too, if you played the game a lot you might have gigabytes of wasted space there. Seriously, watch this:

>>> NMS_NWF_DONE(33938, 50, 33939)
<<< NMS_NWF_DONE(33938, 50, 33939)
>>> NMS_NWF_DONE(33939, 50, 33940)
<<< NMS_NWF_DONE(33939, 50, 33940)
>>> NMS_NWF_DONE(33940, 50, 33941)
<<< NMS_NWF_DONE(33940, 50, 33941)
>>> NMS_NWF_DONE(33941, 50, 33942)
<<< NMS_NWF_DONE(33941, 50, 33942)
>>> NMS_NWF_DONE(33942, 50, 33943)
<<< NMS_NWF_DONE(33942, 50, 33943)
>>> NMS_NWF_DONE(33943, 50, 33944)
<<< NMS_NWF_DONE(33943, 50, 33944)
>>> NMS_NWF_DONE(33944, 50, 33945)
<<< NMS_NWF_DONE(33944, 50, 33945)
>>> NMS_NWF_DONE(33945, 50, 33946)
<<< NMS_NWF_DONE(33945, 50, 33946)
>>> NMS_NWF_DONE(33946, 50, 33947)
<<< NMS_NWF_DONE(33946, 50, 33947)
>>> NMS_NWF_DONE(33947, 50, 33948)
<<< NMS_NWF_DONE(33947, 50, 33948)
>>> NMS_NWF_DONE(33948, 50, 33949)
<<< NMS_NWF_DONE(33948, 50, 33949)

... and goes on for thousands of lines and many files!
This can't be blocked either because a new file is created every game, otherwise I'd have set the file to read only or something.

I don't think it is for no reason. It is so if there are crashes the replays can easily be shared and crashes fixed...

I just deleted the useless logs and replays and it took a matter of seconds.

But it should be optional. Crashes on the stable release are rare. Never had a crash actually. So meanwhile all this output has no meaning to me. It doesn't even contain game data, just frame output. No other game does that. And many players don't even know about this folder, so these files could be a problem for common users. Every game means an extra 10mb file. Just taking huge space and endless writes for no real reason. Can wear off SSD too. Kinda like malware to be honest. Please make this optional, that's all I'm saying. If this is useful to you that's okay, but don't drag everyone in. Also displaying the GF and FPS in the game breaks the playing experience, those should be optional too if logging/debugging is enabled. Have a good day and please keep working on this great game!

Do you mind opening an issue for that on github? Are you sure this happens in stable versions as well?

This happens on stable release 0.9.5. I've tried the night builds (windows x86_64) but they won't work for me, maybe they are compiled for Win10+? I have Win7. Here's the error:

s25client.exe - Entry Point Not Found "The procedure entry point DeleteCriticalSection could not be located in dynamic link library api-ms-win-core-synch-|1-2-0.dll."
The | char is weird there not sure what's going on.

I've also tried to block the LOGS folder by permissions, but the game won't start anymore. It seems logging begins when the application starts and can't go on without it. That's weird actually, you should care about the game not the logs... Just put some ifs there to skip logging if creating a few extra buttons to disable it is too much.

But like I said, this is really great work, and it's a pity to get stuck on such issues, please fix it before 0.9.6, thanks in advance!!

Hello!
Night build s25rttr_20251122, Windows 7, MS Visual C++ redistributable 14.42.34438 (2015-2022). When I start it, I see the error
DeleteCriticalSection in api-ms-win-core-localization-l1-2-0.dll not found. How can I fix it? I can't download an earlier night
build (+-2024) from this website; it says the file isn't found on any version before November 2025.

---

Well, we at the moment do not support Windows 7 anymore.

---

---

Sad, but try ((
What is the latest nightly version with windows 7 support and which link can I download it from?
