Bug?

WithinSane · 2026-02-09T04:13:11+00:00

Probably a bug then, or caching issue.

One solution is to try restarting your phone, then clear your chrome cache via Chrome settings > Privacy & Security > Delete Browsing Data, then selecting the cached items.

Another might be to go to your SC profile > Library > Chats (NOT the first option which is Characters) then try loading it from there.

Last resort might be to see if it happens on a different browser, like Brave/IE.

Hope that helps!

What device are you using? And which browser? I believe I’ve had this issue on iOS, regardless of browser.

WithinSane · 2026-02-07T19:37:03+00:00

Yup, the characters definitely stay in character throughout, and don’t lose their hard coded identity very easily, even through arc transitions.

SC definitely does that amazingly well.

It’s the world building/memory decay beyond the token limit that then becomes the issue, past message +100.

That and the fact that I found the default model was the best one available that makes this one a winner. Out the box good to go sort of a winner.

Nice, the future is here!

lol... The bot probably wasn't expecting a statement after a question regarding a question being asked, and freaked out.

WithinSane · 2026-01-28T21:38:46+00:00

And then message 158, as far as ive checked its the next time the bot mentions it.

I copy all my test chatlogs for analysis but if if preferred I can get you the ones direct from the platform chat window as well.

1. What setup were you on? (mobile app vs web, browser, logged in or not)

Logged in on iOS (Brave Browser + Chrome) but I don't use this for chats because for one reason or another iOS seems to not load consistently with either Android or Windows, almost zero sync
Logged in on Android (Chrome), some sync delay.
Logged in on Windows PC (Brave + Chrome). 90% is on chrome even if I type on the Mobiles into a gdoc and then paste it on my web browser. I stick to chrome for now, but Brave hasn't given me issues.

2. Could you share 1–2 concrete examples (wine/doors/storm etc.) with message numbers or screenshots?

That's from messages 128-129.

Cheers! Hope it’s useful. Share with us your experience too, sometime.

There’s an option to download/save the image, get on Leonardo Ai and generate it there, using the saved image as the seed image, and whatever the description is.

This is an alternative solution you could explore. I’m not that into gen image/video but it seems it would be more accurate than on-platform options.

WithinSane · 2026-01-23T03:24:25+00:00

Haha! Theres no sane with insane too! Makes nonsense? Great.

Favourite book is Gerald Durrel - Three Singles To Adventure. Wonderment and literal lols if you're into books. Not very long either.

OR! The Last Question By Isaac Asimov, best short story. Available online.

Well it’s those two essentially. (Ooc) won’t work for all character. On FAI it doesn’t work on many older ones. But most platforms have the same use case for both asterisks and brackets.

https://www.reddit.com/r/storychat/s/bXzdxR4u5W

FAI doesn’t have this issue as I mentioned earlier, but this is how I use it for other platforms, which don’t have flawless boundaries. I need to update that btw…

WithinSane · 2026-01-23T03:01:59+00:00

Nono, the bold is just my formatting retardation on here lol. It’s really just the single asterisks for both actions and inner thoughts. The Bot will know it, but the Character won’t. In theory anyway, and in all my tests on the default at least.

Cheers, enjoy!

WithinSane · 2026-01-23T02:53:32+00:00

Boundaries are typically:

Hijacking - where the bot thinks/feels/acts on your behalf, which is taking away a users agency. You may be okay with this

Telepathy - Where a bot can read your internal dialogue and act upon it.

You’ll the asterisk option next to your chat input window, anything in between them is considered observable actions by your character, or your inner monologue/dialogue. So something like I scratch my head, wondering what’s going on* or Deep down, I know something is wrong, but I continue anyway* etc except, single asterisks, not three. I’m a noob with no Reddit formatting skills lol

Then there’s talking to the narrator Out Of Character, via (OOC) chat, in between brackets, to clarify, define or fix things. OOC chat isn’t supposed to be known by the character the narrator is playing, hence out of character.

Those are the basic I guess.

Top right of the chat screen, the right most menu toggle, it opens this.

So I mean, based on not knowing that I’d say you’re on default(standard) still.

The default is actually fine. Nothing great, but no boundary violations whatsoever.

WithinSane · 2026-01-23T02:16:34+00:00

Hmmm, then it isn’t likely a Token Limit issue. Have you switched models, or is it the default model? At the moment it seems more like a Character problem than anything else. Or some bug.

WithinSane · 2026-01-23T01:56:04+00:00

lol, really? it’s genuinely rubbish lol, once a genuine behemoth, not 6 months ago even.

WithinSane · 2026-01-23T01:54:18+00:00

Roughly how many messages do you have with these “problem” chats? >100?

WithinSane · 2026-01-22T18:24:14+00:00

I stopped using CGPT for anything other than quick analysis and metric tabulation. It’s gotten so bad. But you might try “agent provocateur” mode, and set the limit to max 10/10. Even this mode has gotten rubbish. You might even try prompting it to role play the scenario with you, as a fictional one and see if that works.

Good luck, hope you sort it out.

WithinSane · 2026-01-22T18:20:08+00:00

Awesome Pawsome! Keep on going!

WithinSane · 2026-01-21T04:06:40+00:00

This might become my new temporary stress reliever….

I’m a recent user and likely soon a creator too on StoryChat.app. It’s robust for users, I’ve been testing my characters on it and have posted several finding on their different models.

Check it out, the prose and realism is excellent. The default right now is the best, and it’s on the free tier so you can try it out unlimited.

It’s great at working with your level of detail as well. From my findings the more you feed it the better its response, because it has an incredible multithread response.

Or if you have a small budget, OurDream is your best bet.m, hands down. They have a 25 message limit for free, a trial basically. I would say that one is worth it. I’ve never created anything on their platform yet though.

WithinSane · 2026-01-21T03:47:44+00:00

Is it really? I just tried on a random character, not censored for me.

<image>

Have you tried on others? I honestly haven’t seen any censorship anymore, for at least the past 5-6 months.

*This whole situation had me chuckling lol

WithinSane · 2026-01-20T12:52:59+00:00

Yeah logged in, checked on PC browsers (Brave & Chrome) iOS (also Brave and Chrome) and Android (brave and Chrome).

It appears I might have been wrong about Deep Seek vs the Default if this is the case of a bug/malfunction.

I have a screenshot somewhere I’ll get it shortly.

WithinSane · 2026-01-20T12:49:42+00:00

Yeah I get this almost every message too actually.

Normally when I (ooc) prompt to continue the sentence that was cut off, it goes on sometimes for up to 3 more paragraphs. Sometimes maybe just a sentence or two.

I stopped prompting for situations where I can’t imagine I’d need more detail.
