Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Last month I had suffered a big lose when my hard drive had been dead, practically all my game dumps and a lot of saves had been lost. Why am I telling this?
This made me re dump Breath of the Wild. When I played it previously, Cemu had noted that I played it over 150hrs (I know, crazy. that it had been lost . . .). Now, however, it doesn't say a word.
I tried refreshing the list, but it doesn't change it.
I'm using the latest build on MacOS, Intel CPU, AMD GPU, 16gb of RAM.
In Cemu 2.0 the play time is held in the play diary in mlc01 like the WiiU does. If you look in your log.txt you’ll probably see an error about writing to it. Find the two diary files and delete them, and it’ll start a fresh set.
Thanks for the quick reply
I found only one play dairy though, where is the second one?
the log actually saying
`[17:12:28.244] Failed to read valid PlayDiary header
log.txt
I have no Idea why though
Ah, that's okay - no second file as it wasn't writing successfully. Delete PlayDiary.dat and play a game, it should create one or two new files in that folder and record the play time.
Ok, so I deleted that file, and then played the game as I usually do (about 2-3 hours ? ), it seems that Cemu didn't reproduce that file.
(you can see from the log.txt modification details that I did used Cemu)
I guess this is a live bug report then. That used to work in the 2.0-20's
My log said that
PlayStats.datis malformed. It was all zero bytes. Deleted it withPlayDiary.dat. Now play time is recorded for me!Cemu 2.0-66 on macOS 14.3, M1 pro.
I tried even that, the file doesn't regenerate.
(I even tried to reset Cemu by deleting the Cemu folder)
Only today I discovered that the PlayStats.dat and PlayDairy.dat files that important aren't in the Cemu folder that located at Application Support in Mac, but in the MLC path for the save in the Usr folder. I moved both of those files (in frightened that it will affect the saves) and now Cemu does track playtime.
I don't known if to consider this as fixed though, because this is more a workaround.
I'm attaching this Image because it may help the developers understand the problem. The above files are the "original".
That's normal, intended and exactly as expected. Cemu 2.0 uses the playdiary/stats files in the same location in the mlc folder as the WiiU has them in onboard storage.
That's okay and all, it make sense, it was MY mistake to think it would be in the Cemu folder.
The only problem is that it didn't recorded the playtime until I "messed" with the files. I'm sure THIS doesn't supposed and intended to happen from the first place.
