Memory Leaks

from Demigod Forums

I'm not sure what everyone else is experiencing but I started to run task manager in my 2nd monitor to see what the memory usage was with Demigod and as an example my game uses about 150MB of memory on startup and when I looked up during the middle of a LAN match using Hamachi I was up to 800MB and then by the time the match ended I was over 940MB.

I'm sure other people are experiencing issues with game slowdowns but I'm guessing maybe that's why its causing games to go slow and lag shortly after it starts a match.  At least that's what we've experienced so far with LAN games.

We've had some people saying that turning your audio settings to Stereo in the control panel will help with some performance issues.  If anyone else has tried this, please post your results whether positive or negative.

wait a minute; 150MB on startup. fine. mid game; 800MB. fine too, as the engine does load resourses when actually starting a match.

940MB at match end; that may be a leak. but, at no point do we see the distribution between what's in the pagefile and what's not.

for all we know; that extra 140MB could have been hiding in the pagefile the entire time as resources not yet used (ala. Giants, and kit that isn't available early on).
