[Solution] Possible fix for constant 'Out Of Memory' CTD

Shameless bump

Good to know, I'll try that change (and no I have no idea what that setting means either)

Where did you find this setting?

It's on the 'Gameplay' tab of the 'Options' dialogue if memory serves 

Thanks for sharing your find. I don't have the game but good to see a possible solution to the CTD problem.

Testing...

and thanks for bumping after 14 secs

My FPS improved (getting up to 15 FPS now when I normally get 8 to 10 FPS) and the game is much smoother for me. No idea why this was checked though. I only use english. Thanks for pointing this out.

From the manual.

Use Localized Data: When enabled this option will have the game use translated text and voiceover data (if available). If disabled, the game will play in English (default).

It appears to work.  I hope the devs see this.

I'm still getting CTDs. Thanks for sharing, though.

But are they Out Of Memory CTDs?  Are they as frequent?

I used a program that made elemental LAA which solved it for me.

I tried this and got maybe 1 more turn before CtDs.  Nice idea, maybe it will work for some.  Looking in my error log, I see dozens of references to "x animation is leaking."  I suspect that will need to be fixed. 

Great the graphics are incontinent.

RAT

I was getting the "Out of Memory" crash every 3 or 4 turns and I was about to give up on the game but turning off Use Localized Data in the options as the OP suggests made a huge difference.  I've been playing for the last 2 hours without a single crash. Thanks a lot!

Looks like the "big one" has been narrowed down to something we the players can actually do something about.

Nice find Sholland.

What is 'Use Localised Data'?

Excellent - glad that other people have found that it helps 

Nice find, I'm gonna have to try this.

Look up at the top of the thread. Someone explains it.

Stardock can fix this by changing the text from "Use localized data" to "Degrade game performance".

That way people will know it's a good idea to leave it unchecked.

I don't think incontinence explains it accurately

Someone posted a quote from the manual, but he posted it in dark gray so it's very hard to read.  Here it is in a less obscure color:

"Use Localized Data: When enabled this option will have the game use translated text and voiceover data (if available). If disabled, the game will play in English (default)."

They're still "Out Of Memory" CTDs. Can't really tell if they're as frequent, as they were kinda random to begin with. I'm going to leave it unchecked, though, as there are no localized data.
