Question for Beta Testers: What Build are you using now?

(just read your 2nd post). I didn't find any evidence of python allocating more RAM in case of more physical RAM, it just won't clean up if at some spark it will eat, say, 200Mb. With my manager it does clean, but the problem is still the same... those 22mb remaining from it are not a reason to worry.

Probably what I have now will help all of 1GB people. With 256Mb memory use didn't decrease, so I think it grows with 768Mb+ systems which I can't test - have I overcome this or not yet.

What I am facing now tells me that most probably Firaxis won't be able to fix it on itself (too system-affine things); probably I am wrong or just too scared to see my efforts dead in vain with their own update. For the whole week I only sleep and code it... (~6-6-6-6 hours day timeline). So I'd like not to make it for free for Firaxis. This has just gone too far. 3k likes of very very system code and a lot of profiling are not a thing to throw aways just for good word :)

For community - yes, I will give it away, but I will need to add something, so that Firaxis won't want to use it without letting me know. Nothing formatting discs, but probably some messages like "This is not original executable", etc... , especially occuring past December 25th :) This will hurt noone except the company in case it will silently put it into their update, so I need insurance it won't happen.

This needs time to code and well-protect from removal, and my head is so busy with the path of solving primary goal of making it playable with 512Mb, so I delay my release which's probably ready to run under 1GB for 3 or 4 days...

As compared to python, they didn't face another problem - address space fragmentation. With consuming of about 700Mb this becomes an issue... And consuming 1.3Gb of just reserved pages (not swapped, but neither usable until signaled) inevitably leads to CTD.
 
I've been reading all of your posts that I can find. You have that rare combination of intelligence and respect for other human beings that outweighs vanity.

I hope to see an unofficial patch from you soon, as the game is unplayable to me on my gaming rig (1gig RAM, GeForce 3 128mb), my Tablet PC and my wife's PC (well, that's because of the GeForce 2 in it).
