Out of Memory in Twilight

If you are getting out of memory errors in Twilight of the Arnor, please post here ONCE with the system info and game version copied from your debug.err and your galaxy settings. I want to be able to compare people's information all in one spot. You should also zip your most recent save game where this occurred and send it to gc2bugs@stardock.com along with the debug.err file attached.

Thanks!

Just a question. I'm not erroring out but on some games I'm having to wait 7-15 minutes between turns. Should I keep playing till it crashes in order to help? Or should i just send you a copy of my save game?

Question: When is it a memory leak; what size is too large for memory usage?

My game used to run using 800-900 MB of memory. As of the 4C update, it now runs as much as 1,589 MB (1.6 GB) - during a game of immense size.

My turns take a few seconds, although I do end up with video issues at this size with 'explosions' being nothing but a white square.

hi i have found out that by installing galciv2 v1.5, and dark avatar v1.5 then install the latest twilight beta you can play without getting that annoying out of memory error. when you first start twilight you get a error saying to upgrade dark avatar to 1.8, just click ok and it should start anyway. the out of memory error seems to be caused in the 1.8patch of dark avatar.

Hi got a out of memory error playing on gigantic map.

What version of TA are you running?

Got it here too. But for DA!

I'll keep the pasted info short. Goes on for awhile, 30 pages or so, not trying to read it all.

I was playing a gigantic map, 6 players in all.

Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Edition

Crash occurs while playing GalCiv 2 using Twilight of Arnor, happens from anywhere between using a large map to using a massive map- Happens only when autosaving a few hours in game. Getting horribly tired of having to keep making new games with different settings in desperation to try and avoid these crashes.
