endgame is unplayable GRRRR!!!!!!!

from Elemental Forums

After weeks and weeks of working on the OOM bug why has there not been any discernible result? I am playing on large map with all factions and in teh end game I cannot complete a single turn without an OOM error. Up until recently the CTD OOM were occurring every 10-15 minutes now I cannot complete a complete action without a crash it is very frustrating I just want to complete the game but I think I will have to abandon it as it is taking way too much time saving a loading.

 

Does it help if I upload my saved game somewhere? and if so where are instructions on how to do that?

 

Very frustrating....

Hi - please review the op of this thread for reporting problems: https://forums.elementalgame.com/391297

  • Recommend getting a free dropbox account
  • Use that to upload the docs
  • Upload the debug.err
  • Upload the dump if it was created
  • Upload last 2-3 saves
  • Explain in post what you were doing when it crashed
  • I personally keep a single post for myself and keep replying to it as I get new errors (helpful to me to organize it this way). If the patch # changes, I edit the title of the thread to the current patch#. Here's my OOM thread: https://forums.elementalgame.com/404664

What version are you using? If your on 1.11 then get the 1.9 beta. If you are already using 1.9 I would play smaller games until 1.2 is out. I play medium maps with 6-7 AIs and don't have a problem.

TO THE DEVELOPERS

 

Here is my saved games.

This is 1.19l  - to crash all I need to do is play a turn, next turn and then usually it will crash soon after. i.e, just move heroes around upgrade a few cities etc it doesn't seem to matter what you do it will crash.

 

The game is set up on a large map with all factions present. I am playing on windows 7 64 with 4GB memory.

I hope it helps fix the OOM errros. I really like this game, yes it is rough but it only needs a bit more, however I wish it could be stable.
