One spot that the memory leak seems to be hiding is in the unit design. I loaded from my auto save after that crash where ram usage had hit 1.2Gb. The freshly loaded auto save was 667MB in size. I then created and deleted a dozen or more unit types. Memory climbed up to about 850MB before I got bored.

I just had a game that lasted for 280 rounds before crashing. The debug is too large for pastebin. Same as before gets to about 1.2Gb and the game dies.

Got tired of all the crashing and switched to playing Civ V for a bit, found that it was crashing at 1.2GB of RAM allocation too. So I just reinstalled the MS Visual C++ redistributable 2010 from the Microsoft web site. Civ V game went to 1.5 GB before I fell asleep. Will try to see how Elemental will do. Note I reinstalled the entire game from Impulse for each release. so it was a full install for every version. 1.11, 1.19a and 1.19b. There was some gibberish about .NET apps crashing at 1.2GB and I was guessing a bad version of the redistributable.

Sigh, nope does not fix it for Elemental. Still get a OOM error.
