have several test runs on my I7 box with windows 7 ultimate 32bit installed on one of the partitions on the bootdrive vga is ati 5850 with catalyst 10.8 cpu is i7930 oc to 4ghz ram is 6gb ddr3 2ghz dual screen with win7 claiming 3.5gb available have played several games from start with large maps on all, zip of dbg & err created added dxdiag to all <a title="w732 ati oom 1.1gbused" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8023186/elemental%20crashes/Elemental1_06-2010-08-31T1

could be that butters has the habit of dropping things, ie butterfingers. harpo

thanks harpo

had played campain til died, then started a sandbox on a meduim map 4 races, played 70 turns single town 2 npc's CTD no warning no messages no zip created the dmp was 0 bytes, created rar added err dxdiag & saves harpo

the proxy is internal to me network , and it is a ipcop box latest update version, and is to increase the download speed of files that have already been downloaded by another computer. harpo

did that and even closed impulse, then told impulse now to check for updates which it said were none, then clicked on the message bubble window opened offering the update and asking to open impulse clicked on yes in impulse resumed download, but on first 3 it came in at 34kb/s in a 1.5mb/s adsl1, on the fourth it came in at 150-160kb/s, but this might be due to my transparent cacheing proxy. managed to play one game to first OOM with 1.06.19 on win7 64bit with ati 10.8 drivers

and I have another OOM win7 64bit ati and as usual it is on a turn with save game updated to 1.06.19 (and had a LOT of difficulty and time to download ie 4 hours for a mere 9.7mb on a 1.5mb/s adsl1 east coast australia) started a new game on map huge custom sov, kraxis empire with tree other kingdoms/empires on map played to tun 135 (note 1.05.16 got to turn 160, 1.05.16 with old ati 10.7 got to turn 140 so not as good as 1.05.16 as far as leakage) oom zip crea

and mine had timed out, and told it resume, but it has died again at 7.2mb 76.1%. yarlan IS there any way we can specify which server to download from? harpo

I downloaded only 5.72mb before it went to retrying, also tried the pause wait a few seconds then resume, but no dice, just retrying. will leave the comps to download while I go & fix some customer problems harpo

apparently the hotfix is up as the subversion number on the update changed from 1.06.18 to 1.06.19 harpo

well, it IS approx 1 to 2 am for them, so I can understand SOME desire to sleep, but this is odd behaviour. harpo

chugasrevenge, the ONLY location for the update IS impulse . and as you are also useing the cross pacific fibres they might be the point of failure, but we are posting on the forum which is also in north america, so that buggers that idea, and my downloads are STILL at 73.5% harpo

interesting, and my updates have hit 6.93mb or 73.5%. which isp are you with? I use supernerd. harpo

I also have a similar issue, but I am only getting the retrying on all of the computers that have elemental installed. I have 5.38mb, 6.93mb, 4.65mb, and 4.83mb of the 9.43mb download, all of the computers are my personal property, mostly for software development & testing. harpo

I have looked at the err reports and it always seems that the OOM happens in a save. might be worth while to look in the code that does the saves. harpo

tried playing a medium map game on winxp system to get current turn count for oom played to turn 215 zip created added err, dxdiag & saves harpo

just one suggestion for the bonus/weakness page to do with resizing of window, but this might be currently beyond your programming ability, ie if the window is either streached or maximised could you increase the size of the container for the bonuses/weaknesses? harpo

I also have the issues with ram & sound dieing about 2-4 turns before OOM with the latest drivers, but am able to play for a lot longer on 32bit, so from my limited testing it appears to be a ram leak relating to memory allocation request to OS and not release by requestor, and as 64bit OS supplies twice the ram address space per request due to 64bit vs 32bit the 64bit OS computers will see it far sooner that the 32bit OS computers. each of the patches(elemental patch added

anything that can help people especially novices enjoy the game would be worth doing harpo

reloaded elemental after last oom, ram use at menu approx 230mb, loaded last save (the crash was at turn 160, BUT the autosave was turn 150 with autosave every 5 turns, what happened to save turn 155?) ram useage 1.35gb played to turn 170 & another OOM at ram use 1.56gb. zip was created this time, added err,saves & dxdiags

any idea what the ram use by elemental was when this happened? I also noticed sound AND graphics issues in the turns before oom. harpo

and another OOM from me with 10.8 I got to turn 160 , but noticed after tha ram use got to 1.5gb that the settler & caravan trianing buttons were black. in my experience the ooms in the beta were about the 100 turn point, so the release versions have improved the situation by 60 turns, BUT compaerd with the 32bit oom situation getting 300+ turns before oom in the beta it

updated to the ati 10.8 created new dxdiags started new game on usual map (huge) 4 other kingdoms/empires played game up to turn 160 when Out Of Memory error happened twice(note windows reported the out of memory twice on the single run. the ram use at the start of game was ~800mb and at oom point 1.715GB the zip was not created, so rared the <a title="yet anothe OOM 1.05.16 & ati 1.08" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8023186/elemental%20crashes/Elemental1_05-2010-08-26T17-5

kyro, the fact that we have nvidia people getting ooms suggests it is an unresolved memory leak either in elemental or between elemental, havok and the sound system. I am suggesting the sound system as I had played a single game back in beta 4 with sound off and it did get further than s similar game with sound on, and also havok might have a compatability issue with the ati drivers which the 64bit amplifies. harpo

yes the saves do allow to continue, but I did have an issue back in b4b at approx turn 395-400 would not play a single turn after loading the save without OOMing every time. from memory I posted the same turn in about 6 ooms before I gave upon that game. harpo
