AI Character chat stopped working entirely

I already reported the issue in a different thread, but i didnt get an answer so im not sure if it was noticed. If it was - sorry for spamming.

After a long conversation in a single chat, all my chats stopped working. They write stuff that i can read, but after they finish writing it gets deleated immediately. Sometimes it shows a error(https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/0c7b2142-cb49-4a47-b20c-df8f4d30d09b.png), i tried looking through these links, but they just wrote that there is nothing in there.

I also cant export my characters anymore, so i cant check it in different browser and cant clear cookies without losing my chats. When i try to export it just gets stuck on “Please wait”. I waited for several hours - it did nothing. Other chats that i open in Opera GX or Chrome on my laptop work fine, so its not a connection issue. I use chrome by default - thats the browser that contains chats that are broken.

It happened yesterday, so i had time to wait, rebooted my PC, browser, refreshed the page dozens of times, tried different chats, deleted chats, messages - nothing worked.

Im not sure how exactly i could count words in the chat because the beginning of the chat is missing. I assume it “transformed” into summary and stuff?

I also used English language exclusively.

You can try to check the Database directly.

Open the ai-character-chat page.

Hit F12 or right click on the page and click 'Inspect' to open the DevTools.

Reload the page, then check first the 'Console' tab if there are any errors upon loading the page.

Please provide the errors if there are any.

Click on the 'Application' tab, then you can access the data (if it is loaded) on the 'Storage' -> 'IndexedDB' -> 'chatbot-ui-v1'
- Yes, there are a couple of errors. Thats how it looks like: (https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/6f21de27-3ad7-4638-948f-eb38334e5c22.png)
  
  "IndexedDB" contains nothing: (https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/0e33e704-0c37-42f1-8653-21c16ec54c32.png)
  
  I don't see the background.js script and content.js script on my end.
  
  Can you try to disable any extensions that you have to see if some of the extensions are messing with the scripts.
  
  Also please see the Allowing Ads Settings Guide and see if changing any browser settings eliminates the problem.
  
  I'll ping the dev @perchance@lemmy.world, just in case, for them to see the problem.
  
  Disabled all extensions - didnt help. Tried changing the settings, but i already added perchance into exception list and allowed all ads, and changing other stuff didnt help as well. Logging in also didnt change anything.
  
  Thank you for trying to help. I'll wait if there are any other ideas how to fix it. Hope i wont need to delete cookies, spend quite a lot of time with this chat, so losing it will be quite sad.
  
  Sorry about this, and thanks for your patience in helping debug it. Can you try disabling summaries in the character editor? Click the "more settings" button at the bottom and scroll down. Change the summary option from "summarize old messages" to "ignore old messages".
  
  all my chats stopped working [...] Other chats that i open in Opera GX or Chrome on my laptop work fine
  
  You mean the other chats on a different computer work, right? And I assume that it works if you use Chrome incognito too. I.e. it's just your normal computer, with normal chrome, where your existing chats aren't working?
  
  Thanks for advice. Sadly, it didnt seemed to help. First of all, it showed this error: (https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b10ab6fb-763e-4e4c-b9b2-35e74b9cbce7.png) (https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e1621ae4-158c-465d-9891-0bb03e4df225.png)
  
  Then, after updating the page a couple of times and making sure i set the option to ignore the old messages, it said this: (https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7e9fccc8-0394-46c6-8deb-78380ed958d1.png).
  
  Now it doesnt seem to show any more errors, and AI gets to respond, but all messages get deleted after they finish writing.
  
  Other chats on different computer and other chats on the same computer but different browser work perfectly. Same Chrome browser, but incognito works perfectly as well. Normal PC, normal Chrome - stopped working, yes.
  
  Also have to notice once again that ALL chats stopped working. I have 7 of them, only 1 is quite large, while 6 others are quite small, and they still dont work even if i set it to ignore all messages - messages get deleted once they are finished. Export function doesnt work as well, not sure if its tied to summarization feature.
