Unable to load game, out of memory.

[RViener]

Erik, I got the same mesage on 1400 star game with 20 civs with the size of the save >60 megs. I was able to save and reload. I'm now greater than 70 megs and working. I'll try to send it. Bob Viener

Hello

It happens that I have the same problem, but I is not seen a solution.

This is the third party that makes me ca. It's quite annoying to be condemned to play only with the birth of empire.

I try to search the forum, but I're not seen a solution, he said the problem was found?

ps: Sorry for my English, I'm not too good: p

This issue can happen if you attempt to load a game after closing a current game. The game will load fine if you reboot the program, but since the OLD game should have been deallocated after closing it to the main menu, the game must be leaking a large chunk of memory somewhere. The memory leak is probably what is causing games to explode.

Hi ucchigoro. Are you using the most recent version 1.0.3? There are a lot of optimizations in this version that greatly reduce memory consumption.

[ucchigoro]

I're not really understood what you meant Fishman

Elliotg, yes it is even a party launched in the patch 1.0.3

Fishman means, if you're currently playing a game and wish to use a saved game, close the game, then launch it again

Also, have you tried playing with less stars?  it might not be as fun for you, but it will allow you the opportunity to go further into the game at least

[ucchigoro]

Ah ok, yes even restarting the game continues to crash.

This solution is just to jump further back, to get more than 70MB, backup eventually crash, when there is too much information recorded above. It's just a matter of time unfortunately.

But I no longer have the courage to repeat parts so I can finish them: (

[Fishman]

Yes, then you're really running out of memory. The odd thing is why it runs out of memory at around 1 GB, when a 32bit program, unmodified, is allowed up to 2. Where's the other half of the RAM going?

[ucchigoro]

As the person who opened this topic I have more memory than XP can handle.

Always when the backup is too large it crashes.

Can you guys confirm for me please which galaxy size you chose for these games?

My latest game I dropped to a size 700 galaxy, by the year 2800 the save game file has got to 110MB and will not load. Before I was playing on a size 1400 galaxy and got to the year 2791 with a save game file size of 120MB.
