B42 Crash (In Main menu)(linux)

[link.owen]

Hey guys, We seem to have a couple variations of the crashing thing. I am noticing on ubuntu that the memory usage shoots through the roof randomly in B42 causing the whole system to freeze, I will test in compatability mode and windows as well.
Please remember this is early release for betatesting, B41 still works fine.

Compatability Mode was able to work a little longer but the same freeze occurred with the same memory utilization spike. checking windows now

windows also has a memory spike, but it doesn't runaway and eat all the swap ram as well. spike eventually resolved itself and the game works past the main menu. This machine has 8-gigs of ram and 30 gigs of swap ram, all of which got gobbled up in a second in linux. Memory usage seems kinda crazy, on the main menu.

One thing to note if you have B41 mods, those can still eff up B42 in many various ways.
So if you have those, make a collection of them, then remove them. (Collection will allow you to if you wish to install them back easier.)
If you play vanila then of course you can ignore this.

Using linux ubuntu. Happens to me also. Hope this gets brought up to the devs attention

Interestingly I cannot even start the game now. I assume that was after the 42.0.1 patch as I played it yesterday just fine. Neither compatibility mode works. All I get in the logs is
```
[S_API] SteamAPI_Init(): Loaded '/home/xxx/.local/share/Steam/linux64/steamclient.so' OK.
src/common/pipes.cpp (883) : fatal stalled cross-thread pipe.
src/common/pipes.cpp (883) : Fatal assert; application exiting
```

This should go into bug reports i'm sure.

Fully agree, just saying for others. As for the bug report I would have to go into the indie stone forum, register, and post it there, but I am not really a hater or anything so I dont really care that much that it doesnt work, and wont bother reporting it beyond random mention here.
