Memory Leak?

game crashes

February 11, 2008 12:16:02 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
I'm not too certain but I think there's some kind of memory leak? I've played on ICO twice and once single player and crashed all 3 times since 1.02 update. The game runs fine for a couple hours (2-4). I wasn't paying attn the first time but on the second pair of crashes I notice I got a warning that my virtual memory was running low both times. Then a little bit later (~half hour) the game would crash. Kind of interesting here is I have no virtual memory to run low on because I set it to 0 virtual memory.

Im running: WinXP x64 edition on
Athlon x2 4000
MSI K9AG Neo2-Digital
2GB RAM

In the background I had AIM 5 and Avast Anti-virus running.

Does that sound like a memory leak or do I have a different problem? I thought memory leaks would freeze the comp rather than crash the game. So not really sure on my part...

Don't do that. Windows is *designed* to swap stuff, and if you happen to do anything memory intensive, you're going to run into a world of pain. Chances are you just don't do anything that memory hungry under normal circumstances...

Which would be why your virtual memory was low

Well I would of thought if it really needed so much memory I would of gotten the message earlier.

I'll try enabling VM and see how it works tonight.
