Get a younger Tracker?
It suggests that maybe Tracker does not swap out some of its data when it needs to for more memory. If you have been archiving turn results since Turn 1, you may need to rename some of the earliest files to avoid Tracker loading them when it has to calculate changes over time for some reports.

I have no idea if getting more RAM memory installed in your computer will help or if it is a limitation of the .exe in addressing that much data.

Unfortunately tracker is restricted in memory size and I think it's down to Java. Somewhere in the tracker thread there's instuctions on how to increase the memory but even that is not enough.

I clear it out after about 450 days and staart again using the 5 days I always have saved.

In WitPTracker.bat

java -Xms512m -Xmx640m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"


you can increase both the Xms and Xmx values depending upon your system. 1024 will work in most systems. Also, no map will GREATLY increase the number of turns that you can load.
