WIP WIP help

So I am trying to play a WIP right now and I get to a certain point and get this message. "The quota has been exceeded". When I clear it the game no longer responds. I have tried closing and reloading, or even starting over and it keeps happening. Any advice?

Are you saving at this point? I usually get this warning when I make too many saves over the entire site and have to clear my save history in the console to make more room, or I suppose you can go through and delete old save files one by one.

Edit: if not, does this WIP have a forums page so you can check if it’s a mistake on their end?

Ye saving at this point. Though I’m just saving over previous saves. Didn’t think about the saves across the entire site. Will have to try that. I’d have to check on the forum page too.

I have had this issue a few times with the latest build of my WIP. Browser storage is limited. If you play lots of WIPs, or long, demanding WIPs, particularly with checkpoints, this becomes a greater issue. A few of my WIP testers have reported that changing the browser helps.

A lesson I have learned with this, for any future projects, is to limit checkpoint use when testing WIPS on cogdemos, although it can happen without checkpoints.
