out of memory?

[Captain Kwok]

It's not a integer overflow error by chance is it? It doesn't sound like it, but those are the most common errors.

I can't recall anyone previously posting an "out of memory" error and your system obviously has lots of memory so that shouldn't be an issue anyways. Were you running any other programs at the time? Odd CDs in the cd drive when playing the game?

Maybe you should start a new game?
Sometimes old saved games behave oddly with new patches.

no mods or anything, i am simply playing a brand new game after installing the patch.

I will try and get it to occur again and il post a screen shot of what happened

Also, is there any particular event happening on that turn like the massive launching of units or things of that sort?

Hi

sorry the old error was out of range before the first patch, then this error definatly is out of memory, and I do not think anything spectacular happened, I was wainting for a new ship to build so I simply was skipping turns, hitting end turn immediatly for about .8years, and on one of them it just said out of memory.

Thanks

Try turning off your virus software and see if that helps.

Also how much RAM do you have. One of your DIMMs could be bad. (?)

it is 1gb of dual channel ram, 2x 512mb sticks

all ram is fine, i do weekly checks

and I do not run direct anti virus software, I just have a automated daily scan by the server (it is complicated! i wont explain!)
