I just got an "Out of Memory" crash accompanied by a giant red X across the screen on a white background. The game was pretty busy - 19 empires on a 1000 star map. Was having a blast thanks to the new patch, but I lost about 2 hours of progress due to the crash. Oh well.
Here are my specs: Intel Core2Duo OC'd at 3.6 GHz 4 GB of DDR2 RAM ATI Radeon 4850 X2 2 GB RAM Windows 7 64 bit
I should mention that right after the crash I have approximately 2.6 GB of memory free. I'm assuming it was about the same prior to running DW. Is this a bug or should the minimum requirements for such a large galaxy map be raised?
Screenshot attached. Here is the accompanying error message:
