Frequently Freezes

[eva77737~Carr]

After playing for about an hour the game fequently freezes; making me loose progress. I don't know why; my PC is far above the games required 256MB of ram at 8GB and a Quad core i5?

For me, it freezes about every 30 minutes. I lose progress and have to start over. Any fixes?

It freezes for everyone alright. The game has a memory leak. You can launch resource monitor (or just task manager) and look how its memory footprint grows. Eventually it runs out of address space and crashes (2G tops). If you see the figure over 1G restart it.

Obviously shame on you, developers for having such trivial bug in the first place and even more for pissing on the players and not fixing it.

I suggest everyone to go and leave a negative review mentioning play-preventing crashes, maybe if new sells dry up due to this there will be some action.

Im having exactly the same issue. Its such a shame as the game itself is very good.

Update
Ive started playing it through the desktop shortcut as opposed through steam and so far it hasnt frozen once. It crashed once but I can cope with that compared to how it was before

You're lucky. This games when launched from STEAM gives me BSOD on Windows 10. ;)

[pasa]

a game can't bsod on its ow, you need crappy drivers or hardware for that. Or you meant it just crashes right on?

You start the game & it crashes.
Do you run the game in some earlier Windows mode?

[pasa]

I'm on win 7. Try to set compatibility mode.

This will double the time you can play till it freeze/crash.

It's a patch that changes flags in old exe files to be able to use 4GB instead of 2GB memory. It doesn't fix the memory leak in the game, but it doubles the memory the game can waste, and thereby also doubles the time before the game crashes.
