It didn't solve the issue. AFAIK 10.7 is the latest set of drivers for ATI cards, both of my Win 7 64 rigs are running ATI cards (a 5870 and a 5650m), both with latest drivers, and both frequently get out of memory errors. I've posted numerous debug.err files, they're all pretty similar both pre and post patch.

Also got an OOM after about 4 hours of play.

Win7 64

Core i7 860

Radeon 5850 - Catalyst 10.7 drivers

No overheating - temps are normal

Would appreciate a 64bit version of the game, so that even if there is a memory leak, it would have to exhaust my 8gb ram + additional swap before OOM

second oom today:

Thanks for all the debug.err files and specs, guys...this is obviously one of the big ones, so we're on the case

This is very welcome news!

I don't mean to impose but could you describe what the problem is exactly and when we can (expect to) get back to playing again?

Thank you very much for your time and support!

Latest ATI drivers on Win7 64-bit Ultimate, OOM error after ending my turn on the world map.

Is there any news? I'd love to play again, I've really enjoyed the game so far until it started crashing.

ATI just released catalyst 10.8 this afternoon, please give it a try.

that did not work for me for my 4890 ill try it updateing for my new card for othere machine i have

Mine keeps crashing with win7 x64, Geforce GTX 260M.  The problem (for me) may be lack of device drivers since my HD died recently and I haven't reinstalled everything yet.  Not sure how to post the error reports though.

this is happening with my system and i have a nvidia card as well. i will send some dump files when i get a chance. The memory error is only happening to a non-campaign game, around 115+ turns. i can load the game and maybe get a turn or two in before crashing and getting the error again.

Also, in campaign mode at exactly turn 1050 the game becomes unresponsive to almost everything. it doesnt crash but i cannot click anything in the UI. i can go to the menu screen and exit that way or load a different game. If i load a previous game it will work fine until that turn. It seems to be running as expected before that... I havent tried restarting the campaign yet but i am going to. Not sure if this is related but it seems like some type of memory glitch.

win 7 64

Geforce gtx285 1gb

Core Duo q9550 2.8

8gb ram

elemental v1.5

just rebuilt so all drivers are up to date.

i know this is a vague discription but i dont have time to be specific and will try and get windows logs and elemental logs uploaded asap.

I hope this helps and am looking forward to a polished game soon.

kyro, the fact that we have nvidia people getting ooms suggests it is an unresolved memory leak either in elemental or between elemental, havok and the sound system.

I am suggesting the sound system as I had played a single game back in beta 4 with sound off and it did get further than s similar game with sound on, and also havok might have a compatability issue with the ati drivers which the 64bit amplifies.

So for those of us living on the bleeding edge, the ATI site does not have the 10.8 ATI graphics driver available for download on its own. You have to download the software suite (its ok, you can just unselect the other apps in the installer) but yeah a lot of us are on 10.7 thinking it is the latest because of this little oversight.
