Sorry, we see them all   The team just knocked out a big memory hog that wass happeneing with forests, so hopefully that, combined with other code clean up, will make these darn memory issues a thing of hte past.

Hey, guys, thanks for the reply; nice to hear that the data isn't going down a hole.

Sorry, FB, I'm probably calling it the wrong thing.  It's a simple CTD, no messages; the game window just closes, and that's that.  I can reload a save game fine, and keep playing, I just have to restart the game.

Another one for you guys, after only 4 turns.

Impulse is not related to Elemental other than as the download manager.

But thanks for sending the data. This is extremely helpful.

Started a game using the AutoSave of the above game, continued on for quite a while, then got multiple Out of Memory Errors popping up this time. 

Interesting note: the Dump file is reporting 0KB... and it did not generate a zipped version of it...but I'll include it anyway.

Screenshot with details from Process Explorer:

Jesse (codecritter..our lead Engine guy) was showing me a game today, after his object mangement tweaks, and at 100+ turns he was at a consistent 600-ish mbs of memory usage. It actually DROPPED in memory use a few times, so I think we've nipped this out-of-control memory usage in the butt/bud. 

For future reference, would attaching Process Monitor to the Elemental process and submitting a trace be useful?

I am having the "Out of memory" symptoms for at least the last three Beta 1 releases. I am running Elemental on a Win7 pro 64 bit with 6 GB of RAM machine.

Specifically, the game appears to always crash after a certain time (30+ minutes?), number of turns, or number of safes. There is a crash to desktop, and two Windows 7 alert windows pop-up with a simple "Out of memory" message. Then, Windows 7 pro tries to be helpful by offering to close the app or to look for solutions online. I don't expect to have fun but with the impending Beta 2 release, I am getting nervous about this persistent problem.
