To add to others, I have noticed that the sound effects for Elemental disappear shortly before I get an OOM crash.  I still have ambient sounds, but combat sounds are gone and, if I am not mistaken, music as well.

Not for me.  I've been on 10-7 for weeks, having typical issues like white backgrounds in tactical battles.   Just updated to 10-8 and had the same thing.

Went to 10.8 and things actually got weirder in the game--my mouse cursor turns invisible while moving around any game screen if I use the Elemental cursor. Hardware cursor is perfectly visible. So, if anything, 10.8 made my game worse.

I got an out of memory crash about 295 turns in with 1.5gb of usage. Didn't manage to catch the error files, but I'll try to post any further crashes I get tonight.

yah so i tested it with new drivers using a 5700 and it played alot longer but i think thats due to the fact that my home system has more ram then my system at work i have 8 gigs here and 4 gigs at work anyways i was able to play game from 10 pm to 12:30 am and then i got the out of memory error.

the drivers I am using are the beta drivers that I guess came out on the 25th ?

Just  got another OOM CTD. Windows 7 64bit  4 gigs of ram Radeon 4870 AMD Phenom II X4 940 Processor 1.60ghz

Yay for OOMs, just had another one at about 270 turns: http://pastebin.ca/1925788

Just wanted to confirm that I am also having this issue on Vista 64 with an ATI card (since all the talk has been about Win 7 64).

My drivers are definitely out of date, but I am hesitant to update since it sounds like people with the latest ones are having more issues than me, not less. I am not having any graphical corruption issues or things like that, just the OOM crash every 100-150 turns or so. With autosave working fine it doesn't bother me that much. I don't really trust ATI that much when they say their latest and greatest will fix issues, based on past experience.

Incidently, the only other stability issue I am having is the alt-tab DX crash.

I'll try to get you some debug logs next time it happens so you have more useful data.

Just thought I'd chime in here and say that I'm having the same OOM issue as well. The game crashes about every 2 hours.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000

Vista 64bit SP2

4GB RAM

ATI Radeon 5870

I also have the issues with ram & sound dieing about 2-4 turns before OOM with the latest drivers, but am able to play for a lot longer on 32bit, so from my limited testing it appears to be a ram leak relating to memory allocation request  to OS and not release by requestor, and as 64bit OS supplies twice the ram address space per request due to 64bit vs 32bit the 64bit OS computers will see it far sooner that the 32bit OS computers.

each of the patches(elemental patch added about 40 turns the catalyst update about 20 turns on a fresh game) but at about turn 160 in a game on 64 bit the load of a savegame hits 1.5gb and ooms on the next turn.

harpo

Kudos to the ongoing work, the tech system is certainly more streamlined now, although there are still work to do. And the cities names are still mixed up on occasions. But most importantly, I am still having the OOM error as of today. Crashed on me multiple times today.

My Spec is

Window 7 64 Bit

Intel i7 Core Q720

Nvidia Geforce GTX 260M

4GB RAM

It seems that most of us are using Windows 7 64 bit. Is that one of the cause of error?

Yep, I get this on XP 32 bit, too.

I can usually use an autosave from a few turns before, but the strange thing is, that the "Out of memory" crash makes my computer restart. 0o wtf?

Just got this error for the second time. Win7x64, 6GB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, Core 2 Duo @ 2.66GHz.
