Description

Whenever I starts Ludosavi and run the preview games, the bar always goes quickly to 47888/47889 and then just remains there permenantly. Never completes and so I am never able to backup anything. Is it something wrong that I am doing?

Hi! There's probably one particular game that has a bad save location in the manifest, causing Ludusavi to scan too much.

Could you please open Command Prompt and try running this? (replace C:\path\to\ludusavi.exe with the actual path on your system)

set RUST_LOG=ludusavi=trace
C:\path\to\ludusavi.exe backup --preview

Once it gets stuck, please upload a copy of %APPDATA%\ludusavi\ludusavi_rCURRENT.log here. The log should show which game it's stuck on.

Heres the log. Is the problem with MSFS?

Yeah, that looks like the issue, since the files for that game can be pretty huge. It's come up a few other times (#243, #375).

On the "other" screen, in the backup exclusions list, you can add a file entry for ~/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft/FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe to exclude those files from the scan entirely.

Long-term, Ludusavi should probably be able to report individual files for a game instead of waiting for the whole game to finish scanning, or at least be able to skip a game if it hits certain size/time limits.
