All I want to to is use my Stealth Bombers and bomb the Persians back to the Stone Age and rid the plant of their filth. But I am SICK OF REBOOTING EVERY OTHER TURN and having the screen pause for 2 minutes every 2 minutes!


J.... F...... C.....!!

I feel for you, Luckily I have no such issues myself. Maybe their next patch will help with the memory issues this game has, or mayby harkonnen can beat them to it. check out the memory leak thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=137706
which is actually about memory mismanagement not a memory leak...

Here is another post which links to that same thread which has the changes that I found took away about 90% of my CTD issues. I still get the odd crash, especially when alt-tab to desktop or whatever, but not the every 2nd turn problems I had before.

Hey, on another thread in this forum dealing with memory leaks, a member named The_Kangaroo posted some changes he made to his .ini file. It's the last message on page 13:

These are the changes:

AllowScreenShots = 0
SyncInput = 1
D3D9Query = 1
LoggingEnabled = 1
---------------

I just scrolled through the .ini file until I saw each of those things and changed them, but you could just use the "find' - probably easier! I just wanted to see what else was in there though : )


edit: I seriously hope they can fix problems such as this with the game in an upcoming patch...

I made these changes and it seems to be better. (I only played 45 min)
Thanks for the info!

I'm glad. However, even with these changes I still get some problems, just not as frequent. I'd recommend delving back into the .ini file and changed the autosave from 4 to 3 or 2 turns - that way you don't lose as much time if it crashes.

If you can please email Take2/Firaxis with what your problem was and that this helped - hopefully they can work out where a lot of the problems are and fix it in the next patch.
