patch 2 Beta crashes

[pad152]

I've had 4 crashes so far with the beta patch, always during the ASW animation where a sub attack, I see a ship hit but, before there is any return attack on the sub it crashes. I've only had one crash up to this point in all my time with AE.

Please attach a save.

Is it consistent or goes away after restart?

[edit]
can you include the wp.prfs file too, in case there is something with the delays being used?

It goes away after a restart, the crashes only occur during long play sessions. I'm starting to notice other things during a long play sessions, like the ships names sometimes not showing up in the bottom panel of the TF list when transferring ships to a TF or creating a new TF.

Sorry, don't have a save, after restarting AE and loading the pre-save of the turn that crashed, the crash doesn't happen again for a long time.

Sounds like it is running of memory to show things.
There should be enough memory free but the usable memory could be getting too segmented to grab a big enough piece to hold the image/data.
That would explain why restarting fixes it - has that huge chunk to use again from scratch.

Yup those are definitely memory shortage issues. I've seen such since day one of WITP. In AE I see some memory issues on occasion on my 2GB RAM machine, but have not (knock knock) yet on my 4 GB machine.

WHat other applications are you running? Are you running in Full Screen mode or windowed? On my 2GB machine, I get best results running full screen and with little to no other applications running. On my 4 GB machine I do not have this issue.
