Memory usage, lag, restart - Page 2

I encounter this under Gnome, Ubuntu 8.04, no safe mode.

Something was definitely horrifically broken during the last updates.

Same here Mira. Seems the game has a knack on taking up all the 2gigs of ram I have. It started a few patches ago for me too. FPS has dropped dramatically for me too even on a fresh boot. I used to be getting 60-70 fps when I'm traveling alone, now I'm getting 20-25 with the same settings.

I'm running it here with SuSE 11 KDE 3.x on my laptop and the game consumes about 600MB RAM inicially with a slightly increase over the time, after half an hour it reached nearly 700MB.
All graphic details and this stuff acitvated o at highest detail level, also after playing some hours i don't have problems - what i noticed too is that the CPU usage decreased from 100% to 50% since the latest updates.

PS: I'm playing in window-mode because the fullscreen crashes on the laptop with an out of sync error :S
EDIT: ok, it now works also in fullscreen, don't tried it since july

Happy to report that performance on the same machine under linux seems to be back to normal. About the same FPS as in windows, and no more of those lag/freeze/reboot issues, not so far at least. Let's hope they will never come back

Sorry to up an old post but since the last update the memory leak are very important on my computer when i logout the game. The most i see was around 13000 leak.

It can go very easy to 2000 or more. I never see so many since the begining. I know that officialy it's supposed to have no impact on the game performance but i have the fell it does.
As say in the previous post in this tread we have all know an increase of memory leak and a decrease of performance. Memory leak has go down on some update after and the performance too, at least on my computer.

And now i have 10x more than ever and poor performance....so...maybe something to do with this.

When I increased my resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768 memory leaks became very visible.
For anyone who can afford it, play in 800x600 to reduce memory usage and memory leaks.
