Out of Memory popup

Debug.err: Memory overflow detected in memory system UIGame

I have had this issue only when saving 3 or 4 times during 1.1. Now that I've updated to 1.11, the issue happens about every 2 hours of straight play or every 3rd save. Watching system resources directly using task manager, i can watch the memory being ate up and not released after each save and now slowly over time. Reminds me of a memory leak. I've tried uninstalling and then re-installing to no luck. I've increased the swapfile from the variable 1527-2072 up to a fixed 4240mb, doesn't buy any extra time. Added a second swapfile on a second hard drive at one point only to have it crash faster with this "Out of Memory" error pop up and the game stop.

Also, when starting the game, it eats all 1gb of ram up and about half of my swapfile right off the get go. Takes aproxitly five to ten minutes to load once you start a game either as new or by loading a saved game. Is this normal?!?

When playing the game, before even starting it, I shut everything down that normally runs. All anti-virus, spysweeping, booty dancing (just joking) programs are off so it is only the game itself running.

All drivers seem current enough, but currently checking next for this... however this isn't looking like a driver once i looked at the debug.err. This is looking like it is related to the acceleration attempts for the loading and saving of the game. Is it possible in the next update (1.2) to have the option of turning on or off the acceleration features that eat up all this memory?

Ironically, I never had an issue with the game straight off the disk.

Awsome work, but what can I say... I love the tweeks and additions you guys have been making!

And if the one making the Star Trek mods is reading this... ROCK ON!

Here is the copy of Debug.err and I hope it helps shed light on this issue. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this one.

Weird, it should be fixed in 1.11. Bumpage.

I'll drop a note to Cari about this. We definitely don't want it running out of memory while saving!

Successfully updated karma reason!

I've had the same thing happen in 1.11.

Successfully updated karma reason!

UPDATE

Figured out a work around while poking through the prefs.ini.

The line:
PreloadModels=1

Change it to:
PreloadModels=0

I haven't had an out of memory error or crash for that matter after this so it seems to have something to do with this... In addition, it only takes about 30 seconds now to start the game new or load from a saved game as oppose to the five to ten minute wait time as it preloaded everything for the game!

Hope this helps to solve the out of memory bit when saving.

I had this error in 1.1 and reported it also. It crashed while saving on the last turn of the game after every other race had given in. I have yet to have it in 1.11 but have not played it much. Really interested in if the preload fix works and if so how do I change it. I play well but never mod or make changes to any code.
