Harpo - that's awesome your game made it so many turns in the first session. Did you experience any serious sluggishness? I made it to around turn 140 in my game yesterday and had 3 sluggish periods (total EWOM memory usage), 1 of which led to DX error and 1 to an OOM. The last one did not lead to a CTD but the sluggishness became unbearable. I was able to successfully quit the game but the debug file was huge and had all kinds of weird stuff in it.

allanmadragoran, the performance was fine but I am using a dual core e4600 at 2.4ghz with 4gb of ddr2 1066 I do not realy expect to get much in the way of pauses other than at end of turn, and as it was a six hour session and a four hour session before the error, it is definately suggesting that they are on the track of the bugs.

BUT had another seven hour session to turn 603, with ram use getting to 1.38gb saved the game and exited, and during the exit got am OOM

I had had one of my allies kill another of my allies(full alliance treaty with both and I was between them), so I am camping one of my attack stacks outside of EACH of the surviving allies towns until the alliance finishes, then will take all four towns, and I am also in the process of plowing through the former highest rating faction(tarth which had got to 3500 faction strength before declaring war on me when I was only 1500), and had taken 5 towns from them and is now only 2400 with me being 2700.

also all spell research was completed (and the total spell research points per turn is only 45, but the general research is OVER 1000?(shows 1....) so am adding a prestige update every three turns after doing all other non refined research in all trees

and zip WAS created, added dxdiag and saves

and played another session of 12 HOURS,

was smooth till I tried to take a screencap(and the screencap file IS MISSING and yes I did look in the my games elemental screens folder and there atre some older ones there but not the one I tried to take) at around 11 hours to show my twin level 13 young dragons burning up an attacking monsters & ruffians group, with one on my grandkids fully equiped with strongest armour, enchanted bow and all accessories(rings etc) as backup( my threesome has a combat rating of 2716),

after the screencapture attempt the game DID get painfully slow, and after saving and exiting copped a OOM FROM elemental about two minutes after getting to the desktop

zip was created, added dxdiag AND save games

during the session had lost three of my allies due to infighting (gildar seemed to be jelous of both paradian and the orekeepers and attacked them through MY territory during peace treaties, so I had to vulcanise their capital as punishment after they had killed both of the others, and tarth (in the single town I left them keep starving for some reason, and as far as the war raiting I am now at 5937, the poor little tarths are only 20, and the second strongest is altar which is on the third continent and is only about 3000
