Out of Resources 1.58 glitch? |
Ever since I installed the 1.58 patch when ever I close out of space empires and then try to launch it agian later to contiune playing, I get two error messages telling me that it is out of resources. The only way to get around this is to restart my computer everything I load space empires. Anyone else having this problem?
I was not sure where to put this, so if it is in the wrong spot, sorry and could someone please put this where it goes. Thanks.
Re: Out of Resources 1.58 glitch?
I'm having some pretty significant stability issues with 1.58 as well. (Got the game recently, so I didn't really play previous versions much.) And I think they might be related to an out of resources/memory leak type of bug...
For the record I'm using Balance Mod 1.10, but I doubt it has anything to do with this.
One thing I've done which seems to worsen this is to add many songs to the playlist. (302 main and 121 combat).
I'll start the game, play a bit, and after going in and out of combat a few times, or turning on and off the music repeatedly, all game sound stops.
The game becomes unresponsive soon afterwards, as the sector list (the one showing ships + colonies of the highlighted sector) stops updating. I can still select another sector or another system as I please, game menus like research or ship design work too.
Under those same circumstances, I've had the game fail to remove a ship destroyed in combat, then let me attack it again and crash with iirc an access violation.
What would be the procedure to follow with this? An e-mail? To where? Debug logs? Which ones? Dxdiag logs?
Thanks in advance,
Darkshado

se5@malfador.com is the e-mail you should send issues to. Generally, you should be as clear with the conditions surrounding your issue as possible, and provide general system specs. In the event of crashes, saves are also useful. You may also want to include debug logs for the session involved.
Dxdiag isn't very useful, unless it lists some very specific errors or hardware setups that are known to cause issues. In your case, it seems to be a platform independent error related to how songs and sounds are allocated.

Re: Out of Resources 1.58 glitch?
Malfador is aware of this, but has so far been unable to reproduce the error. If you, and anyone else having this problem, could post your system specs, and the specific way you get the error to occur, that might help him figure out exactly what's causing it.
