With the release looming fairly close will this fantastic game be ready for release? I would hate to see this game marred by random crashes and odd glitches that I still come across. Most notably is a memory leak that still seems to exist. I actually got an "out of memory" message. Now, before you ask:
4 Gig Ram
2 8700M GTs in SLI mode (1 gig vid ram)
a 10 gig swap file
running it on 2 machines the one above is an M1730 gaming lap top by Dell.
My desktop is a bit different with 4 gig of ram. A gforce 260 GT and 3ghz dual core.
I have seen effects of memory leaks on both that cause slow downs and crashes, even when my growing empire is not very big and playing on a small map.
At anyrate, I am really looking forward to the final version and love the game. I just hope that in the last few weeks of beta and lot of polish is done.
