(bug) Still having memory management issues - 1.5GB utilization!

from Elemental Forums

My laptop plays FE quite well... for about 1.5 hours. Then everything slows down... - this becomed particularly apparent in tactical battles. I've looked at Windows task manage at these times, and FE is using 1.5GB of RAM! If I restart Elemental, the issue goes away, temporarily. However, even loading a large save will use a LOT of memory.

 

Clearly we need some better memory management going on.

It is better not to load games from within the game currently.  I have suggested to the devs to have no loading or new games from within the game, but they haven't taken this idea up so far.  If your game is using lots of memory without loading from within the game, then that definitely needs to be addressed.

Nope, this is happening on a fresh start of the game. I find I have to quit and relaunch the game every hour or so. There's a serious memory leak going on.

I don't like this idea.  I think this is a Stardock problem.  How come I don't have load/save game issues with my other games?  Perhaps Stardock should hire the Derek / Jon equivalent of load/save game gurus out there and fix this once and for all.  While they're at it, they can fix the game locking up when your PC goes to sleep.  Other games don't lock up when your PC goes to sleep.
