Hey Justin,
Just put up 1.03 on Impulse. Can you update and see if those changes help your mid-game freezes? Thanks man!
Well, I can see you're both below the min Memory requirements (512mb) though Rob, you're only below by 2MB so I don't know why that would make a huge difference.
I have an idea that should bring down memory usage, but I need to talk to the coders about it first...see if it's feasable before shouting it from the rooftops I'll keep you posted.
Also, are either of you playing on laptops? I wonder if they're just running too hot when that map tries to load (again, can't imagine why, but it's a possibility).
Thanks again for your help in tracking your issues down
OK, so we got a machine that reproduces your guys' problem. I start a game, pick my candidates, and the game locks up after the VS screen.
The good news is that we have a prospective fix. We'll add a 'Simple Icon' mode that will cut down the number of polys being rendered SIGNIFICANTLY. The bad news is that it'll take a few days to get in and tested
We're shooting for a 1.04 next Tueaday, so I'll try to keep you guys in the loop as progress is made.
edit: Actually, there's no reason we can get something up for you guys to test over the weekend (in ZIP form)...you guys want that?
Tototot: Was your the 'Joel' email? I sent back a zip...perhaps it got removed by a finniky server I'll send again!
OK Joel, resent
Hope it works this time!
