and played another session of 12 HOURS, was smooth till I tried to take a screencap(and the screencap file IS MISSING and yes I did look in the my games elemental screens folder and there atre some older ones there but not the one I tried to take) at around 11 hours to show my twin level 13 young dragons burning up an attacking monsters & ruffians group, with one on my grandkids fully equiped with strongest armour, enchanted bow and all accessories(rings etc) as backup( my threeso

allanmadragoran, the performance was fine but I am using a dual core e4600 at 2.4ghz with 4gb of ddr2 1066 I do not realy expect to get much in the way of pauses other than at end of turn, and as it was a six hour session and a four hour session before the error, it is definately suggesting that they are on the track of the bugs. BUT had another seven hour session to turn 603, with ram use getting to 1.38gb saved the game and exited, and during the exit got am OOM I had had on

was playing a game second session( the first got to turn 386 before too late at night without crash) on turn 492 decided to trade items between stacks. stack one is sov with sagog, stack 2 two of sons, sons & sov all equiped with best ranged weapons, armour, horses & magical equipment, traded all items from stack2 leader to stack 1 leader, switched to second unit stack 2, traded all to stack 1, switched to next unit in stack(should have gone back to leader but CTD) no dump or

light, any thing that would cause an ACTUAL use of the spell research to be needed is going to help harpo

and a FOURTH application crash with elemental trying to access memory that could not be read, at the end of a tac battle where verga was killed (the third time his death caused an app crash) had loaded elemental, then loaded the same save as before, waited to leave the town till I had two defenders, then killed the settler just outside town, then went and killed the M& R bandits (an archer and 2 bandits) then collected the level 1 goodie huts, waited approx 3 turns outside yithril

and a THIRD application crash attempting to access memory just after killing verga for the second time had loaded elemental, loaded the last save at turn 191, played on killing the settler just outside the town I had just captured, then going on and attacking yithril's last known town, killing all five defenders, added some buildings to te town, added fresh units to the train queue, waited till the first unit was trained, then went out to hunt monsters & ruffians and verga(ver

and loaded elemental again, then loaded the turn 111 save game and played on to the second tac battle in turn 194 where I used arcane arrow on verga killing him, and copped a application error before the tac battle summary occured zip created, added saves & dxdiag personally I found j more stable as it would oom in the area

updated elemental, deleted save game folder, started a new game on a 10 x 8 map with 20 starts & 10 ai factions, played game to turn 112 had application error crash zip file created, added dxdiag & save games harpo

finally got the k build on the 8th of april, not the release date of the 7th harpo

I think that the tactical maps are about 16 x 16, whch from what I remember of the tac maps is about the correct size. harpo

just tried to upload two of my newer maps using the mod upload facility in elemental and it errorred at the end of each upload, I exited elemental and started checking all the log files etc relating to elemental & reactor, but could find no indication what or where things went wrong. rared the error.dbg , but could not see anything in it to

the load save indicates 10x8 (actual tile count is 160 x 128) and the acual code from the map file e2 3 cont 12x8 160 128 10 8 16</SectorTileWidth&

reloaded game (turn 311), played on to turn 360, and agin the oom error message, and again in the save, available ram at crash was 800MB the relevant part of the debug.err Debug Message: - Ending Turn 350 - Debug Message: Current Memory Usage: 525012 KB Debug Message: Cities in World: 49 Debug Message: Units in World: 1032 Debug Message: Units in World with Gfx: 80 Debug Message: GarabageCollection - Begin Debug

I also have noticed that 'J' is definatley worse at showing the damage delt per attack, and also it seems to oom quicker than 'I' did('i' got 315 turns before oom, but j only got 215 turns same map, factions & settings) harpo

I had deleted the save folder, updated elemental, started elemental, started a new game on the same map ( 10 x 8 sectors, 3 continents, 6 + islands, 12 shards in map, 10 ai, 20 starts generated by elemeterra 2) with my usual sov & faction played to turn 215( seems that j is losing memory faster than i) according to the debug.err the crash appears to happen in the save code <a title="1.19j xp oom turn 215" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8023186/elemental%20crashes/Elem

had updated to 1.19j started elemental, started a new game with my usual custom sov & race, played 215 turns & oom(note this is not laa'd inspite of being a win7 64 bit system free ram at time of oom was 9.5gb in a 12gb ram comp zip file name created, but ZERO bytes size, manually created a rar of the dmp,error.dbg, saves &

another oom in turn 460, engine attempted to allocate 52mb(with 1.2gb ram free and elemental using only 1.1gb) had rebooted computer, loaded elemental, loaded the latest save game and played on to turn 460 and oom(btw during play the free ram had not dropped below 1.2gb) had killed off one other faction, was at war with one kingdom that had twice the war rating, but was expanding into their area when oom <a title="10x8 map oom 2" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8023186/elemental

cephalo, here is a l ink to the reply three by derek paxton in one of my oom threads, and it does play for about 240-260 turns before the oom with 256 x 256(your sizing) maps, but it ooms at about 350 with a map that is reported as 10x8 harpo

started a new game in a elemnterra2 generated map size 10x8 20 start 10 ai 3 continents 4 islands 12 shards played to turn 305 and had oom crash zip created, added saves & dxdiag and here is the last 13 lines in the error.dbg before the unallocated memory lines during the crash Debug Message: - Ending Turn 3

cephelo, have just received some info from derek paxton about map sizes in 32bit being that the largest map that 32bit elemental can handle IS 12 x 8. pity as I like having some time to build up my faction before having to war. harpo

and just received info that says that maps MUST be 12 *8 or smaller otherwise elemental runs out of ram. pity as I like having a bit of time to grow my faction before I start to war harpo
