output_log.txt growing without bounds

Question: You do have, by any chance, enabled file protection for this (sub)folder? If so, the game will delete the file, and Windows is just replacing it with a shadow-copy, resulting in a bigger and bigger file every time.

I have turned on nothing. In fact, I was not even aware this folder existed until my disk was full. Also, after a few more crashed (this game crashes wayyy too often now), the log file is 0kb, so I guess that is probably not it.

Just to be sure, where can I check this setting?

If you havent turned on, it is fine. You have to take action to include this folder to the shadow-library all by yourself. 

My guess is that this is a side effect of the other bugs you've reported on the preview branch, which when triggered, print many, many logs. I will close this for now and feel free to reopen once those bugs are fixed

Well, possibly. It looks now like the issues with my game are all related. I will file a new bug if this happens again after the other things are fixed.

If you still have the bloated log file and want to peruse it for any repeated logs, I could verify that for you

Sure, it is attached. Compressed wit 7zip it is 43MB. This happened only once, but there may be some bug behind this.
