Out Of Memory issues

[Tkins]

Hi,

I'm getting errors when playing this game. It will periodically crash after playing it for a few hours. Every time it says I'm out of memory. What do I need to provide here to help diagnose this issue?

Cheers,

I was getting these alot on my 32 bit machine but have not gotten them yet on my 64 bit with 10g mem

I have a 32 bit system with 3 gigs. It's well beyond the recommended requirements...

at 32 bit you should play at max medium size (700 star), try raise windows page file it will help.

[Tkins]

I haven't played a game with more than 700 stars. What's 'raise windows page file'?

[Dracus]

go to Control Panel\System click advanced system settings, go to advanced tab, click on preformance, go to advanced and change the virtual memory setting to a custom size and make it 3 tims the recommended sizes. save and close.

No confirmation yet, but that seems to have helped. Still lag at times when I get pop ups and messages, but no crashes yet.

Okay, I got my out of memory crash. I ended up playing for about 3 hours.

whit my old computer i was use 10gig of page file, try to leave game to main menu and load every 2 hour

It happens on w7 64 bit system as well. I have a computer with 32 GB of ram yet the game tells me that it ran out of memory when it is using only a bit more than 3 Gb of memory, that might be because the game is a 32 bit application.
It seems that there is some kind of memory leak that makes the game just keep using more memory each time we re load a save without quitting the game.

If your on a 1400 by 15x15 drop it to a 700 by 15x15 or 400 15 by 15, the map size is optional , you can go smaller but the amount of stars (400-700) is not, this should give you the stability again, if you still get the problems on a 700 drop it to 400, I had the same sort of problems, I used to play 1400 15 by 15 on Legends but am unable to in Shadows, now I play on a 400 15 by 15 and everything is stable as a rock. Shadows changed a lot of the inner workings, chances are you probably do not have the hardware to pull off the bigger maps sadly.
