Elemental V1.11

Memory Leak

from Elemental Forums

Bought Elemental last december.  Been trying to play it for two months.

I like the game except for the annoying memory leak issue.

I have a top gamming system running windows 7 (64bit) and 8Gb RAM.  I should not run out of memory...EVER!

I usually just save often ans struggle through a game.

I finally got to a point I cannot get past:

As soon as I end turn, I complete a civilization upgrade.  when I choose "Housing", I get the typical upgrade noise that slows to a halt then an eventual "Out of Memory" error.

I cannot seen to be able to post my debug.err file via this forum's instructions.

I can provide the debug.err file, saved game and numerous .zip files.  I just need somwhere to end them.

I realize I may have to wait until v1.2 but if my files will help, let me know.

Thanks and I can't wait for a stable version!

Misconception i see all the time.

Its the 32 bit limit being hit.. not your system memory.

Since E:wom is a 32 bit program its limited to 2gb of mem.. regardless of how much your system has.

That being said.. I agree its an issue and to be fair its top of the priority list for fixes being done in the current beta patches :thumbsup:
