out of memory errors and extremely slow performance late game is why i stopped playing. I hope it will improve with time but I think the 32bit limitation with these types of games makes them unplayable.

<t> My new one for today. I do not think i will be able to finish yet another game. This happened after less then 20m of loading the save game. Which is now 171MB<br/>

<t> Just wanted to continue to post these errors as they show up in new versions. Saved game is up to 148MB.<br/>
No matter how many abandoned ships i delete, kill, etc the save just grows and grows. Takes about 10m save on a ssd.<br/>

I think the Dev's said that previous saves are supported.

Well, i wanted to let you know you can play older saves just fine. the patches just create a new folder. you just have to go back to the old folder and load your save from there.

Should I keep posting these out of memory errors? They seem to vary in the content of the error but always out of memory exception. I get them several times a day.

One issue I noticed with this build is that Automation for science and ship design keeps turning back on after loading a save. Others might as well but I use quite a bit of automation.

well I was able to play over 1hr before the out of memory crash occurred again. Up to a 131mb save file.

<t> So with all these changes to allow the AI to build lots more ships what is being done to reduce the amount of memory used or use memory more efficiently?<br/>
How about review of save file late game to see if their is a way to reduce save file size and save/load times.<br/>
<br/>
Edit: Wanted ...

<t> Wanted to post another crash after less than 15m of playing in this same game.<br/>

I was able to get about 15-30min into the previous auto save and have it save, too much after that and it crashes while saving.<br/>

I have tried deleting ...

I did this change the other day and it effects all ships of that current design. so any older ships using out dated designs need to be changed too.

I can load the previous autosave but there is always a crash before or during the next autosave.

<t> I am near the memory limit of the game, massive war's all around. Crashed after less than an hr. Have not been able to get past this save file Warzer_Previous_Autosave_to_Crash_outofmemory.dwg uploaded to the server.<br/>

Is there anything I can do to clean up my save file? I am enjoying ...

<t> I will try to save again and submit the save. This error occured during an autosave. <br/>
The saving process currently takes about 7 minutes on an SSD.<br/>
Hm. well after clicking on ok for that error msg i was sent back to the main menu of the game. seems all that gameplay is now gone.<br ...

<t> Sadly in my case they are just stuck escaping or some other action yet they never move. I have scanners on all my ships and they still show independent. I will have to take a closer look. I removed several 100 today but it did not seem to speed up the game any. my save file actually got bigger ...

<t> whats a good way to attack them? like i said there are 100's-1000's. Individual clicking is taking way to long as i tried that first. Any way to declare war on independents so my stations can just obliterate them? I tried the erase tool but accidently deleted the station and world they were on ...

<t> This happened during a 5+hr play session late game. Save File uploading as Warzer_Lategame_Crash_1953.dwg (complete in 10m)<br/>
There are lots of seemingly abandoned independent vessels everywhere. I used the erase tool once to try and get rid of some of them but ended up deleting a planet ...

<t> I have been playing this one game for about 4 days. I am noticing 100's if not 1000's of independent ships standing around not doing anything ever. That is only what i can see. I am guessing by this time there are 1000's of assets just taking up memory and slowing down my game and causing ...

<t> I was in a protractedly long war with other empires and the pirates got out of hand during that time. Is there a way to automate the destruction of the planetside pirate bases? After the war I have over 100 colonies and 70 ish have pirate bases on them now. Dealing with them a few at a time does ...
