Just started a real 1.19f game and Janusk showed.

See my thread here on reloads without restart: https://forums.elementalgame.com/406297 Any user can duplicate this by just reloading games. 100% guarantee it will crash the system eventually, somewhere between loads 13 and 20. They are working on it! My thoughts: if they can get this nailed down it should help with other OOM issues. Although I doubt this issue is the root cause for all oom issues, it certainly is a root cau

You're welcome, Derek!

1.19f memory usage from reload analysis here: https://forums.elementalgame.com/406297 Summary: Well memory was increasing until around load #4 where it seemed like it peaked and was holding steady from load 4-9. At this point I was optimistic there was a ceiling put in to stop it but... on #10 it increased and by the 13th load it was a crash. Since it happened on the load, it did not CTD as I was able to exit from

Prior 1.19e analysis here: https://forums.elementalgame.com/406036 Purpose: Analyze strategic AI behavior to help identify issues and hopefully help improve the game. Scope: Basic block and tackle strategic actions such as exploration, expansion, city improvements, etc. Scenario: Large custom map built from "Ovia" - created an island so I can cycle turns, reduced starting positions to 1

@CodeCritter - sorry for the 81 save, I provided the save after I completed the actions I listed above instead of right before... and the saves from 1.19d are long gone. I'll post again if it happens in f.

@CodCritter - thanks. Who knows what I was drinkin' or smokin' when I posted the save. When I get back in town on Friday I'll check wth I posted and advise. I deleted all the 1.19d saves when e came out so I may not be able to provide valid saves... but I'll check.

I think they should make an Elemental auction house, encourage but not encourage gildar farming, allow farmer advertising, and charge the advertisers. [e digicons]:andrew:[/e]

[quote who="Black-Knight" reply="6" id="2901781"]You REALLY haven't find any other problem that needs priority over this one WOW! [/quote] I certainly don't think we should discourage anyone from questioning whether something is working as intended. Derek and crew need to compile all this stuff and prioritize what gets love first. But as someone who keeps pointing out AI stuff and more recently memory issues, I think we should encourage more information, not less. What rea

[quote who="goodgimp" reply="110" id="2901775"] Quoting Lord Xia, reply 109 But his fucking veiwpoint isn't valid. I hate the idea that just becasuse everyone has thgeir own viewpoint, it makes it valid. It's not fucking Valid. Stardock has bent over backwords appologizing and doing what they could to make it right. Still bitching and being fucking demandobots is not the answer. Shut the fuck up, bitches. If you want to biotch, m

Yeah, variety is the spice of life! It also would be cool if monsters stacking together made more sense, such as with their own kind. Bandits hanging out with spiders is just plain weird.

#1 - is an option already. I don't have access to the game atm but it's there, I just turned off the AI units a couple of weeks ago. Works like a charm! #2 - Would have to defer to a modder on that one. I manually rename all my cities to Capital1, Food1, Filler1, etc. to help remind me what are the primary resources for each city.

@CodeCritter - Also, I was able to duplicate the ghost stack thing in 1.19d. Not sure if you had a chance to look or fix for 1.19e. I haven't seen it yet in 1.19e. See here, reply #14. https://forums.elementalgame.com/405808

[quote who="CodeCritter" reply="14" id="2901642"]AlLanMandragoran (and others), The save/load leaks are something I've been focusing on. Thank you for your detailed testing. I'm continuing to work on the save/load leaks and that data will be helpful. - CC [/quote] Cool, thanks CodeCritter. I'll definitely keep posting any other OOM type issues I see. I imagine most players aren't loading 16x a session so the other OOM issues have o

Oh crap, there I go talking out my ass again. Good question, maybe someone else knows the answer.

All sovies can cast so I'm unsure why you would cast on yourself. The mechanic is intended for the sovie to imbue his magical essence on other heroes so they can cast too. Children are automatically imbued I believe. I rarely marry because I always wait until I find Najaba. I'm not marrying not stinkin weakling gildar or tech chick. I want assassinate and dominate!

[quote who="C-busDawg" reply="9" id="2901311"]Thanks for looking into it Arch-Element, I did the same finally lastnight, and saw it stack, I didn't get to try +attack though. Movement still not sure on that one yet. New question on Caravans, might as well ask in this thread instead of opening a new one. What is the best way to do these? I have tried all caravans into the capital city, and I have tried capital to city2, city2 to city 3 etc. and so on. In a earl

The worlds of Elemental are equal opportunity employers.

Sweet, I wanna roll a Haunter. Those look cool.

[quote who="Lord Cobol" reply="12" id="2901480"]FWIW, I *never* load without exiting & saving. That may be why I OOM less often than some others seem to. So my OOM above must have some other cause, like maybe playing too many turns too much going on. I was using the "dominate" ability a lot in that campaign. Could there be a connection there ? I know it gets confused by "dominate" be cause every time I use it there is a ghost dead unit left on
