I also got ATI 10.7 and Win7 x64.

Was playing along fine when suddenly the game froze. I alt tabbed out to find a OOM message. At that point the mem usage was around 1500mb.

Lets hope for a x64 binary for the game soon, the days of 32 bit gaming is dead

The game crashes so many time so I stopped playing it...

Also copping the same error on a high end system.

also me, just posted my latest oom at turn 140, which is better than previous which varied from 30 to 100 turns before oom).

my thought is that it is an interaction between ati drivers & elemental, but I also have not had any other programs memcrash on my game beast(b3), which suggests it might be a issue for stardock to look at.

in testing on other of my computers I also have been having OOMs even on winxp 32bit with nvidia(typical oom error point is approx turn 270), but I admit that I like to play LARGE maps, which could be a factor, but as start of game ram use is only 600mb -700mb on both xp & win7 the main point seems to be to do with the point that 64bit windows allocates TWICE the ram upon each memory allocation request compared to 32bit windows and that the ram use rerely drops during the game, it usually increases

unfortunatly I do not have any spare nvidia's that I could put in the beast to test this theory

harpo

Will do. I had a crash that wasn't an OOM, but went more along the lines of I alt-tabbed, came back and a bunch of my textures were missing (but still playable, although Jenkus or whatever was a black outline and spell effects were invisible).  I alt-tabbed again to force a refresh of my textures and when I went back in it crashed with a DX null reference.  I was on Catalyst 10.7, so I'll give 10.8 a shot.
