I think this game would be better released between StarCraft II and Civilization V, like it is.

I think I got something, maybe. I took a video of this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9578304/ramloss.avi Please observe how I can make it jump 3 MB in usage every time I press the design units button, even though it's displaying the same exact thing every time.
No, it wasn't and it didn't come back down. I have seen significant increases in memory whenever the technology screen pop-ups when you are prompted to pick a new path (the 2nd screen you get, not the first one when you pick which of the tech choices you want), even though it should (in theory) already be loaded into RAM.
1. Every 5 turns. 2. Only when forced by a quest. That may be when the leaks start happening though... 3. As I described above, I've seen it creep 70 MB in the middle of a turn while not doing anything (not moving the display, nothing).
I was just sitting there and it steadily rose about 50 MB over the course of a minute right after I got a notification that another nation had built a unique structure. I was already in the neighborhood of 1.4 GB of RAM. Here is my saved game file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9578304/jusfhere.EleSav and debug: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9578304/jusf_debug.err
Here is my debug.err from the same saved game. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9578304/debug.err There are a whole bunch of (Leaked Scene Node) notices in there.
Here is mine: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9578304/1.EleSav On my system, usage starts out at 161 MB at the main menu, is at 604 MB once the game is loaded, and at 705 MB after 10 turns, going up from there.
And my preferences file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9578304/Prefs.ini
I got it. You have to click on the sheild next to where all of your units in the city are listed, select the transport, and click "eject"
So, I made a harbor on a beach. How do I make a boat so that I can find new, interesting people and kill them?
Same here. Seems to be a memory leak. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9578304/Elemental0_98-2010-07-30T00-11-01-746.zip
And another Out of Memory. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9578304/Elemental0_98-2010-07-29T23-13-22-334.zip Both have occured while auto-saving the game, if that helps.
Out of Memory as well. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9578304/Elemental0_98-2010-07-29T22-42-29-765.zip
Inspired by the adjacency bonuses Brad mentioned in one of the beta 2 threads, I'd like to propose a much less micro-intensive suggestion: automatic city specializations. Based on whatever type of building is most prevalent in a particular community, you'd receive a % bonus in the production of said field, complete with swanky icon to show you what you should concentrate on in the future. As an example, if you have a lot of schools and other research buildings, you get a 100-150% b
Saved my game, crashes when I try to load the save. See here: http://home.comcast.net/~jaguarusf/a2.EleSav Have a fantastic day!
I had hardly any connection problems before the two Thursday patches. Connecting to custom games for me has been really fast. I have not successfully joined any skirmish game so far. Every match has featured one player that (a) can't connect to anyone or (b) can't connect to me. Thus, I always get the "matchmaking failed" error message.
[quote who="Melric" reply="8" id="2175586"]but a perfect score given the still recurring issues with multiplayer?[/quote] The score was based on the assumption that the multiplayer issues will be fixed soon. If you come back a year later and see that score of Demigod and Gamespot's score of Demigod, which will be a more accurate assessment of the game? Like diamonds, the Internet is forever.
Pro: Queen of Thorns. Because she is hott. Not: Unclean Beast. Because he is smelly.

I didn't notice any of the bugs (I use XP) you mentioned in ToA...bugs can be hit or miss and I missed them I guess. Getting the quantity of games I do doesn't let me devote the complete amount of time to each and every game that I would like, but I do feel I definitely play each title enough to give a thorough review. Averaging 2 games a week means I have to play about 2 games a week, so there you go. I'd like to think that Out of Eight covers a wide range of PC games that the "big" sites ignor
[quote]Wow, superb take by James Allen.[/quote] Yes, everyone should regularly visit that particular person's site who has exactly the same nickname as I do...ahem...yes, he is great.
I can play Sins on a laptop with a 64 MB onboard Intel card. So yes, yes you can.
I successfully ran the game on a laptop with a Pentium 1.7 GHz, 512 MB RAM, and onboard Intel graphics card on low settings.
