LH 1.8 Huge Memory leak.

July 8, 2015 11:19:02 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I played this game back on V. 1.4 and I cant remember the memory leak being this bad. The memory consumption increases by 1 mb every second, and the game becomes horribly laggy after mere 30 minutes of playing.

By the way I am using xtradeconstruct mod, But I am not really sure that has anything to do with it.

I would attempt using no mods, then seeing if you have the issue still.

I tried turning off the mods in menu, zero change. The ram usage continues to build swiftly until I run out of memory.

I encountered this issue as well. No mods.

 

Serious memory leak experienced. The game usually CTD's in less than 7 terms. Loading game takes forever. 

 

Some more background info:

# of AI: 13

Map Size: Huge

# of Turns Elapsed: 150

 

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5

RAM: 8 GB DDR3

Graphics: nVIDIA GTX460

 

I've never had this issue before when I played the original Elemental game. This is a commonly-known issue with no known resolution.

I'm 178 turns in without crashes or high memory. Memory isn't climbing at any rate I am seeing, certainly not at 1mb per second.

If someone has a non-modded save game that reproduces the memory leak I'd love to check it out.

I no longer have the save since I overwrote it with a new game, but I did take a snapshot of the debug log a current game with mods (Large map 12 players), which also crashes every 6 turns or so.

Ok, I reproduced this in an unmodded run. Huge map, no mods, 16 AI

In this trial run, I got past a few dozen turns and then turned on auto-turn Ctrl + Z. In the linked zip file, it contains a save before the auto-turn was turned on and the debug.log when memory overflow was hit.

I'm unable to download it. It says it is 0 file size: http://screencast.com/t/RGrkvoS4M

Would you also link your debug.err file so I can take a look at anything that may be local to your computer (I'm curious why large memory address aware isn't working on your computer, are you 32bit?).
