[CTDs] kind of sick of it

[Randal]

My worst crashes were in my Carthaginian game on the old install.

In my current Roman game I'm in Marian times and have conquered 2/3rds of the historical Roman Empire (and a bit of extra Africa) and I haven't had more than a couple of crashes.

I'm not sure what the causes are but I don't think it's anything like that.

I play EB on ~700MB RAM and have CTD only in rare occasions. I also have one of the memory optimizer programs installed on my comp (before i launch EB i always free and compress my RAM) and my EB runs much faster and crashes more rarely than before the memory software was installed.

I do the same....almost no crashes (only 2 times in 2 years of EB)

Very interesting, I've never heard of using a memory optimizer with EB before. Which one do you use? Do people think this really could help stabilize EB?

It helped me. Alot ^^ I use http://www.bitbitcare.com/, and since i have it, EB launches much faster and runs more smoothly than before. Just remember to free and compress your RAM before you start playing :)

I too would like to hear more about this memory optimizer. Is that just for EB or does it generally optimize your rams?

[AstroCat]

I don't think it is generally advised to use memory optimizers on Vista/Win7 but on XP perhaps this could help?

The latter. I suggest you give it a try, experiment a little bit and see the results.
