Can't run strawberry jam, too many files open

[grim mortar]

I get this error, which says there are too many files open. I am on macOS ventura on an M1 Max macbook pro.

and my mods are all zip files, not folders

seems to be solved by setting FastTextureLoading: false in Saves/modsettings-Everest.celeste

[lofty cloud]

confirmed; I ran into this problem on linux and the same fix worked

[broken turtle]

what helper is that setting in? I can’t remember

[grim mortar]

it's in the everest settings

i assume it's an everest feature

@broken turtle

[broken turtle]

really? alright ima try

o my game crashes instantly

[broken turtle]

its not in the everest settings, its in a helper. just dont know which one… im gonna try enabling a few helpers at a time cuz my game is tweakin hard rn

[grim mortar]

soo, a helper is adding a config options to modsettings-Everest? 😬

[merry sable]

fast texture loading is an Everest thing

[delicate jetty]

Are there any adverse effects to disabling this? Is it just something like aggressive loading at startup or does it have deeper effects?

Relatedly I think there's a bug somewhere with the error log opening with a too many open files error, every once in a while it'll open a bunch of (sometimes empty) error logs

It is kind of funny to get jumpscared by 20 instances of emacs though

where is that file on linux?

[still moth]

startup might take longer

[lofty cloud]

~/.local/share/Celeste/Saves/modsettings-Everest.celeste

[viral plaza]

Should I create it if it doesn't already exist?

[lofty cloud]

does the folder exist?

[viral plaza]

Yeah, just not the file

there's a normal settings.celeste

[lofty cloud]

I would try to make some changes to the everest settings from in-game (blacklist all mods to get everest to boot) and see if it creates that file

i mixed up fast shape draw with fast texture loading… my bad g
