I'm sure you mean well, but your late-breaking fix is to clear the cache files? That's indeed a good part of routine maintenance, but doesn't really rise to the level of needing to be posted on multiple places around the forum. This advice goes back to when the game was first launched many years ago.
Couple of finer points
1 - The WorldCache files should never be deleted by players on the Mac version of the game unless they have no intention of ever playing that world again. It will break their World install.
2 - I really wouldn't recommend deleting WorldCaches (on Windows) and Thumbnails on a regular basis unless the player is having difficulties and trying all other kinds of troubleshooting techniques. The game has to work really hard to build these back up again, it could take many game sessions to do so, and the game will run more slowly while these are being restored.
3 - I also wouldn't recommend deleting NRaas script logs. Those will only accumulate until around 10-12 of them are there and should then start overwriting themselves with the oldest ones going out first. They don't do any harm by being there and if the player needs our help at NRaas with interpreting them, we can't do that if the logs have since been deleted. Crash logs and memory dumps, on the other hand, are generally useless and will accumulate forever. Those can be gotten rid of at any time.
I've made this mistake (Windows) and had to restore my WorldCache. :weary: It was for troubleshooting reasons and still not worth it
in my case.
