[0.255][Performance] Stability

again....

from Elemental Forums

Still unstable as hell. I can get anywhere from 40 to 60 turns in and it hangs and locks up. Happens constantly. It is more stable then the last build....but not by much.

I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit.

Intel Core i7 920 @2.67GHz

4 GB Ram

NVidia GeForce GTX 280

All Drivers up to Date with a practically fresh install of Windows. The Elemental Beta is only the 4th program (game type) I've installed. I know this is a "Beta" and all, but it's really hard to test anything accurately if it won't stay running. What gives? The first Beta was Super Stable compared to this. Should I be trying to run it in compatibility mode? Is anyone else having it lock up when you try to end your turn?

Ok, after some more testing it turns out running Elemental in XP sp3 Compatibility mode helps with stability. I encourage any other users running Elemental on Win 7 to try it if you're having stability issues.

New features == spurradic stability  :(  We'll be fixing as we go.

One of the many 'joys' of PC development...your user specs are a moving target.
