Hi,
I'm not sure whether this is a particular problem of Elemental 1.07 or something that has been a general problem since the release (as this is my first game that I actively pursue for a longer time, not discouraged by any weird reloading bugs), but I run into OOM crashes with an alarmingly fast increasing frequency.
Mostly the either happen when I save the game or reload a savegame. And even if I could somehow explain it in the case of frequent reloads (e.g. due to not erasing the previous game completely from the computer's memory), it also happens when I try to play without any reloads at all. After a few turns ... crash.
As to saving. Yes, I quicksave often, especially now as I run into those frequent crashes and due to the fact that I still don't trust the autosave function. To many units produced in the autosave turn went missing and I get the feeling that I can move units twice this way ... but maybe this has been fixed already. I still just don't use autosaves.
Here are the latest crash related files. I will try to edit & /push this post as often as I observe crashes like this in the future, but for now it's just one:
- OOM-Crash 10th of September
