v2.7.0 (fbe1546fd) Loads frozen, Unresposive. (6h save file)

[ScriptCitty]

Running Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Up to date, Upgraded, Playing through steam. Have tried all 3 launch options.

basically, I have a script to generate a basic infinite weaken loop for each server I have root access to.
_` for (let server of ns.scan())

if root access; list.push(server)

generate_code = [
async function main(ns) {
const list = [" + list + "yada yada",
while true {
for server in list {
if (security > min) weaken(server)
etc etc etc. `_
this generated code is copied and run on all the hacked servers I have access to, so they all are weakening themselves and eachother.
Ran great for about an hour.

Then I got a job at S Corp is it? I started as the topmost job from the list, switched to the second to compare stats, switched to the free university, then the most expensive programing course, then again back to S corp.

Switched in and out of focus comparing the numbers, Switched into focus again and realized the time had frozen. Said I had been working for 8 seconds, stopped counting up. Then I get an unresponsive error asking if I forgot to let the scripts sleep, and asking if I wanted to kill all running scripts. And I did. Both. I forgot sleeps and I asked it to kill all the scripts.
Game will load from steam... will be frozen. Game will load from folder... Frozen. Game will not load from github (firefox)
each time I close and reopen the game I am greeted with an updated timer, but still frozen.

Most of the 6 hours was spent either afk, or learning the js component. I may try to recreate the issue tomorrow in a new save as I have no backups for this one

Your script has an infinite loop. This is your miner.js:

export async function main(ns) {
  const server_list = ["n00dles", "foodnstuff", "sigma-cosmetics", "joesguns", "hong-fang-tea", "harakiri-sushi"];
  while (true) {
    for (let server of server_list) {
      const min_security = ns.getServerMinSecurityLevel(server);
      while (ns.getServerSecurityLevel(server) > min_security + 0.05) await ns.weaken(server);
    }
  }
}

The while-loop is wrong. If you need more help with writing scripts, you should join our Discord server and ask us on #help-scripts or #early-game.

@catloversg My while loop isnt "wrong". You're not helpful

"I went through the effort of grabbing the script from your save file so I could tell you..... 'something' is wrong"
gee thanks... I learned a lot.

If you were looking for a financial audit and come to me and I tell you "yeah man I had a look at everything... you're spending too much money" 100% confirmation, -0% help

you come to me because your car is broken.. "My car wont start" and I say "Yeah man I looked into it and diagnosed that in fact there is a sound coming from the front left wheel. There's something wrong with it. You should join our forum and buy a new car"

When the security level is reduced to min_security + 0.05 or lower, ns.getServerSecurityLevel(server) > min_security + 0.05 is always false, and await ns.weaken(server) is not called. If this happens with all provided servers, the loop becomes an infinite loop.

Troubleshooting scripts via non-realtime tools (e.g., GitHub issue) is hard due to long feedback time. That's why I suggested chatting in Discord. It's up to you to decide which tool is best for your case. I don't mind helping you here or on Discord.

If/when you get into this state, launching without scripts is how you fix it. Steam usually gives you an option for it.
