HELP, I have a problem.
When i open VAM and go in asset browser or browser assist, i can't see the majority of vars, like 3000~ out of 14000~, I noticed a few weeks ago that it stopped showing them in alphabetical order like from "va..." down they didn't appear, now it's from the letter "a", and of course if a var is called from a scene and it's not shown it isn't found. They all appear in the folder.
I don't know if the addonpackage folder size has anything to do with that, the dimension is 1.25tb, it's big but not has big as other people that have no problem.
Tha game is updated and the validation says everything is ok.
Any idea what could it be?
related to browser assist: noticed the same issue as you, even if I keep my var files mass number a lot more limited. Proceeding to use a "search [var] by creator name" is my practical solution and it works a lot better, without issues, specially with the standard/native vam resource browser (scenes, appearances, plugins etc.).
My opinion: I suppose there is a technical problem in the otherwise very useful plugin by JayJay ... limiting the max listing number and vars image preview. This is not a sad big issue and it doesn't absolutely obscurate the
immense utility of his plugin (like for instance the "import from" option, sounds import, etc.).
In conclusion: my entire vam install folder (in a dedicated nvme disk partition) is actually only 108MB (85,7GB for 2200 files in the AddonsPackage), I use for technical motivations a different folder and partition for the vam cache. This install size is even too much big for my actual playing needs, even if I delete always those .var that I consider not worth using.
1.25 TB vars folder (!!) is
absolutely not optimal (and how much heavy is/was becoming your vam cache???), not only for any scene loading time, for the program performance and (really necessary?) disk space wasting.
A good action if you have enough hd space, should be to create another (?) clean vam install with just the indispensable, a minimal "dose" of var files, scenes, plugins etc., just what you need for those original and custom edited scenes you like to play with.
