I was wondering how the OOM issue resolution is coming along? I also would like some info on the next patch release date and contents. Any news regarding these two points would be appreciated. If I missed an earlier missive on this, a thousand pardons.
I was playing a large map and wanted to check how much memory the game was using of my 2 gig computer. I checked the system status using Ctrl-Alt-Del and selecting the "Start Task Manager" option. It was using 1.7 gig and my overall memory usage was 95%. As I was checking other processes to end I noticed that during that time the Elemental game was down to 1.5 gig used and my overall memory usage had dropped accordingly. I waited a couple of minutes and it went down to 1.2 gig used and some 72% overall memory usage. I think it would probably be faster to drop the game and restart it but for those who don't want to do that this is somewhat of a workaround. BTW, I played a while longer then put it into the Start Task Manager state and left it there overnight while I slept. It was down to .69 gig in the morning.
