Grimrock

I can confirm I have same problem. Editor crash even if I leave it idle and have not loaded/done anything, it seems like memory usage is steadly increasing constantly.

I'm using Win 7 64-bit, AMD Phenom IIx4 CPU, 4gb ram, nvidia geforce 460GTX.

Same problem still here. I launch my dungeon, close the project, and editor will crash after about 15 minutes...
Timer coding is pretty stressful ^^

If it helps, I haven't experienced this crash at all, and I work with the editor for 4+ hours at times.

Very strange, can you actually see the memory usage increasing in Task Manager?

Maybe not, I looked more into the problem and while memory usage is increasing for a while it does actually drop back from time to time when idle. So I think I was wrong.
The application doesn crash however like a clockwork after about 15minutes.

I just wanted to add that I get this problem after about 30 minutes of having the Dungeon Editor running. All I have to do to reproduce the bug is Run Grimrock -> Dungeon Editor -> Load a Dungeon -> Wait. I tend to do that while working on the Assets, and then after about 30 minutes of so, the editor has crashed. Note that this happens if I have the preview panel running but it also happens when I haven't used the preview feature in the session at all. Some information that might be useful:

System Specs: Windows 7 64-bit, i7-2600K (3.4Ghz), 16Gb Ram, NVidia GeForce GTX 570.

The problem always seem to lie in XAudio2_7.dll (according to the Windows Log anyway). Perhaps as I'm not doing anything to play sounds, it decides it doesn't need the module any more and unloads it from memory? Or something strange like that!

I have no idea why the XAudio dll gets unloaded, but I got some ideas how to maybe workaround this. I'll do some testing tomorrow...

Thank you very much

Found out a tidbit more about the problem's behavior.
1) Load the Dungeon Editor, wait => It's okay! Will not crash!
2) Load the Dungeon Editor, load a dungeon, wait => Crash
3) Load the Dungeon Editor, load a dungeon, wait a bit, unload the dungeon, wait => Crash

It seems to crash some time after a dungeon is loaded, regardless of whether it is currently loaded or not. I have to say I'm surprised to find that behavior. It's too bad I can't even unload the dungeon every now and then to dodge the problem.
But I'm super thankful/hopeful to have petri looking into it! You are the 1% of community support!

It's quite difficult to debug this problem because so far we haven't been able to reproduce the issue. But lets see, we might be a little wiser tomorrow..
