[CHAOS] A couple of questions (map crash, data cache?)

[serbusfish]

I have a couple of queries I hope someone can help me with:

1) How can I force the game to remember if for example you have opened a door or moved objects once you leave the map and re-enter it? I know this can be done as it does so in the proper Amnesia game. I see scripts for data caches, are those involve with it or do they do something else?

2) I have a large outdoor map with lots of trees about 1.5mb in size, but midway through loading the game crashes. Could this be caused by too many objects or something else because I have another outdoor map with lots of trees which is 3mb and it hasnt ever crashed.

1) On the entity in the level editor, check the box that says FullGameSave and it will save all properties of it.

2) There can be many reasons why it crashes. You should let it crash and then post the HPL.log file from Documents\Amnesia\Main and we'll see.

The problem is the map loads fine when I go into it directly, but if I transition into it from a different map it crashes.

From what I can tell it gives no error when loading the map that crashes, this is all it says:

However the previous map does show some errors and warnings although it loads fine:

Sometimes what causes the crash it's not the target map but the current being unloaded.
Try changing to an empty level instead and see what happens. If you still get the crash the problem is in your current level.

In the main Amnesia config file I changed 'ForceCacheLoadingAndSkipSaving' back to True and so far it SEEMS to have fixed the issue. I'm not sure why as I thought this had to be False when setting up a developer environment, but the crashes seem to have stopped so I will leave it as it is.
