All in all, SEIV is a great game, however, what really drives me insane are all the lock ups and Range Check Errors I now get.

I can not get 200 turns into a good game with out an AI player generating a lock up. I even had to switch those AI players to human, just to find out what was causing the lock up, and discovered that the AI is attempting to retrofit an escort with a Destroyer design. AAAaaaaarrrrrrggggggg!

I have not been able to play a game now past 200 turns. This seriously jepordizes my happyness, and sanity.

The game is awsome though.

Are you using v.1.19? Only error I've gotten there is when I was screwing around with the data files, which caused the AI to build several thousands satilites per planey, all with components that sat. didn't support.

I get an 'out of memory' error once a while which is odd since I got 512M memory. but I dont mind when that happens I'll just restart and load a autosave files.

There seems to be a memory leak. If you have WinNT/2k you can see the memory usage increase with every turn.

Mephisto · #7 December 26th, 2000, 12:53 PM

I will mail it to them and I hope that some Beta-Testers are reading this, too.

Yes, tell MM about the mem leak.

You know, one thing I have noticed after the new patch is that after starting up a saved game, my ships mover really fast. I am talking lightening fast. I know thats not normal, but I think it may be related to the mem leak. You see, the move real slow, and then after a shut down restart, they blaze.

Not a programer so hay. Sound it off you guys.

The other day when I had a problem with my engine mod I made the AI races human to see what had happened. Well every AI race had ships that really zipped compared to the way mine usually move at least 3 or 4 times the speed I normally see (and no I don't think it was because they had more engines on their ships )

. I also get very slow movement from my ships if I use the modem then start the game. So I have seen 3 different speeds that these ships move now. I have no idea what is causing these speed changes.

I always have to restart my computer after using my modem the game really crawls too slow to play then expecially if I have built a good number of ships.
