PLEASE let us turn off I/O error popups. PLEASE. I nearly locked myself out of my account because of them. Fortunately, without the file working right, it only works for 3 iterations.

Thats how I feel when one of my logs is full.
But it is possible to check before the writing..
Something like:
int size = strlen(readFile(file));
int newsize= strlen(newContent);
if (size+newsize<maxSize) {/*write as usual*/}
else {/*warn User*/}
annoying is the
annoying is the understatement of the year.....

So, Silver, you're telling us to waste precious ops to prevent harming myself with a poor design decision in the game itself. How about instead we just copypasta the disable-this-popup-announcement code from all the other popup-announcements that have the disable option into all the file I/O errors? Y'know, so you theoretically won't be able to DOS someone with it. Because that's really lame to be defeated by a zombie with freeze(); and a for(){} loop going string DOS = readFile(""+rand()); some hundred times. That's not a victory of skill, that's a victory of cheap shots. Very cheap shots.
Keep your head down, your ears open, and your connections encrypted.
Good Luck
