Debug.err

Have fun  

Ill explain a bit further, everything runs fine for about 20 turns, no lag at all, as I explore the map more and more the game bogs down while I am moving across the map the Sovereign keeps getting jumpier and jumpier until i cant even see that he has moved until the next turn when i select him using his picture to make him move again. but when I press escape the menu runs as smooth as ever, however the game is laggy. 

And its not my computer, because I've acedently left elemental open when I'm playing Aion on full graphic's and Aion isn't lagging, 

I'm not playing Aion at the same time, I'm saying elemental was still running and I was able to play Aion regardless of Elemental running still, when I realized it was still open I task manager closed it. 

So I was stating that elemental was the problem, and not anything else, furthermore I realize that Elemental has memory leaks, and if you read my Debug.err, you will Identify that. I just want to display it so that they can Identify the problem, and decrease the error's in the Beta so that I can assist in tracking error's.

I don't normally run multiple games at the same time, sometimes I will run a game in one monitor, and a Movie in the second. but not often.

I had this problem in .23 as well as .24.  Last night it was real bad, I got an out of memory pop up and the game crashed, for what it is worth, I have 3gb of ram.

In my non-expert opinion this statement says it all:

"- game only updates sectors that have been exposed by FOW"

So, a top priority needs to be making updating more efficient so you can actually explore the map; right now the less of the map that you expose the more the game slows down.  I am also concerned with this message because I'm not sure if the unexposed world is frozen in time while you're building your kingdom... obviously this would be a gameplay issue.

You can play for an hour without crashing ? Lucky one

Regarding memory leakage:

In my laggy 0.24 game it used less then a gig each in physical and virtual memory. In 0.22 or 0.23 (don't know which one) I once had a game with 1.7 gig used each, but without the lagginess. Maybe it wasn't memory usage, but some threads (AI?) used too much CPU-power without leaving enough open to the other things.

What I did: Clicking next turn very fast (had just my souvereign moving around with a far away target). Maybe some algorithms which needed to be run every round couldn'T finish properly before being restarted which gave the game a hiccup?

Yes, it's the caravans (or at least the caravans are sufficient).  I built/captured 18 towns with no roads, no lag, and good income.  Then I built roads and in a few turns had 91 caravans, horrible lag, and deeply negative income. 

I have the same issue.  As with the post above it occurs, or at least becomes very noticeable when you connect the cities and the caravans begin to move.  I hope the problem can be resolved without removing the caravans.  They will make the world feel much more alive and interesting.
