Can't save game anymore :( |
Annoying bug in 1.35 + BM 1.08: after a certain number of turns, I get the message that the game can't write savegames to disk anymore. This is both for autosave and normal save attempts. When alt-tabbing I see that there's still 7.5GB of free disk space. Also, the memory usage is onmy 1GB (memory + virtual memory combined) while my machine has 2GB of physical memory and more than enough free resources. I even tried deleting all autosaved games but to no effect.
Does anybody know whether this kind of behaviour also occurs in stock or whether it's rather limited to BM?
I should also add that the game gets completely stuck the next turn while processing empire 4 out of 13 ...

Thanks for the offer Kwok. I only have 1 saved game left and that one will require multiple turns before the problem manifests itself again. Should be in your mailbox by now.

"Good morning, Pooh Bear," said Eeyore gloomily. "If it /is/ a good morning," he said. "Which I doubt," said he.

Well, if Kwok brought this under Aaron's attention then that's cool. It's still a bit unclear to me though what is considered to be a "huge" game. I had selected biggest galaxy size, no neutral empires and there were 12 AI players, which hadn't quite saturated the maximum allowed number of ships and objects in space yet. I was mid game at best.
Re: Can't save game anymore :(
I sent him my save files from that he found the huge game bug and movement log fragmentation...
My game was turn 150'ish.
255 systems.
20 empires.
severely expanded size of each solar system (ie 8000+ sectors vs a normal game of 500 sectors) and how many objects are in each system.
Since turn 50'ish, I had been saving each turn, restarting the game, then running end turn to avoid the cannot save bug, since 150'ish, I had to save, restart SEV, move and battle etc, save, restart SEV, End turn.
If you were mid-game of a smaller game, this bug could still have affected you - it just took longer to happen.

You should either receive some special perseverance award or have your head checked 
Re: Can't save game anymore :(
If you e-mail me the saved game I can investigate further. The read-me file has an e-mail address.
