memory leak?

[red comyn]

yeah as my pc isnt the quickest it suffering badly from this, even if a close everything else so nothing is running in the background. Is it easily fixed? can we expect a patch?

See BI its not just a game to me its also been a beginners PC course too

On my 512 MB RAM system, RomeTW.exe (v1.3) uses about 250 MB RAM when first started I have about 100 MB free. After I played for 3 hours, RomeTW.exe was using 340 MB RAM and I only had 10 MB free. The game speed was still ok because I still had some physical memory free.

same here. I was at first pleasantly surprised when loadtimes seemed significantly shorter in BI than in RTW. But after a couple of hours it slows down dramatically (512MB).

Seems that its an issue for lots of people. Can we put this somewhere so its sure to draw the attention of CA and can get fixed in a patch?

It's probably not escaped their attention..

How on Earth could they miss this problem?

How on Earth could they miss this problem?

Because game developement for PC is incredibly complex and difficult, especially when no two machines have the same configuration, plus you still have publishers deadlines to meet. Things get missed. Welcome to the real world.

I've had BI running for upwards of 6 hours per session and not noticed any slowdowns so far. Running on an Athlon 2800 with 1 Gb RAM and an ATI 9800 Pro with 25Gb spare HD capacity. I've not upped any default windows memory swap/virtual memory settings since buying this PC 2 years ago.

Could it be linked to the number of battles per session or something - I've not been too battle intensive during most of my prolonged sessions? Or maybe I'm just lucky if this is happening to loads of other folk...
