[MOD] - Eye of the Atlantis - version 3j

[Drakkan]

This is unfortunate but I was counting it will not help it... I think even removing more memory will not help.

It's an out of memory error. Of course reducing memory usage will help. The less memory your mod uses while running, the more likely it is that there will be large enough memory chunks remaining to save the game.

I am rather pessimist in this. Also its just my observation, but as Log is not deleting everything from memory as you progress in playing the dungeon, the crash is unavoidable as you reach the cap sooner or later. And especially in mods which have so huge quantum of objects / scripts etc...

I am rather pessimist in this.

I wonder why this problem happens all the time with your dungeon, and yet never occurs with the dungeon included with the game, which only has about 25% fewer objects? (Hint: it's because the problem is caused by you, not by Grimrock 2)

Also its just my observation, but as Log is not deleting everything from memory as you progress in playing the dungeon, the crash is unavoidable as you reach the cap sooner or later.

Do you have actual evidence that Grimrock 2 has significant memory leaks? (Leaks in the editor are irrelevant in this case, of course).

On one of my maps I had an issue where a LIghtning Bolt was being fired off in to the ocean. It never struck an object so eventually the game would grow increasingly sluggish. This is in fact a problem caused by Grimrock itself since there should be Garbage Collection happening in the game. Granted my poor choice in allowing a projectile to fly out in to "space" was the cause. However, that is no excuse for the game itself to not auto-destroy objects that are clearly out of range of the map.

That's evidence of what Drakkan speaks of. I'm sure the Modder will take the sole blame, but I disagree.

All projectiles items and spells ~should~ have a TTL of around 50 (tiles) by default.

Please fix the textures problem.... I care not to run with the textures on medium - all my other custom dungeons run fine on texture settings of high. Please??

The Atlantis Dungeon is so good.... it deserves to "be all it can be".

Same problem here. What are the coordinates of the balance plate?

The "problem" is that the balance plate is almost impossible to see at night. Best look for it in broad daylight.

For the impatient: it's at 9/11

About the memory usage / save issue: Perhaps AH might want to have a look at this too.
As long i can keep LoG at or under 1.65 gigs i can save the game without a problem. Opening the menu with ESC seems to call some minor garbage collection, so doing this twice before saving increases the successrate. However, once LoG uses above 1.65 gigs chances climb rapitly that hitting the "Save" button will cause LoG to run into that Visual C++ Runtime Error. At 1.7+ gigs the crash is pretty much guaranteed.

Now i can force LoG into crashing without(!) actually saving by simple opening the "Save Game" list a few times in a row. Doing this the game might use up to 150 MB caching something and eventually run out of memory by itself before garbage collections hits in. When this happens at or above 1.75 gigs you'll see either an incomplete save game list, a list with entries showing "not enough memory" as entries or a Visual C++ Runtime library popup window without a message and an unnamed button. In that case windows event log will add such an application crash entry:
