After placed the HQ then build a water pump, then hold your cursor on it game crashes filling up memory

from Offworld Forums

After placed the HQ, build a water pump, then click on HQ and move your cursor on the water pump (that comes up a water pump info) doing nothing (or click-in on it), you will see the memory usage increasing at about 1MB/s or 2MB/s and ending crash.

It rarely happens in one try at start, but along of the game process it happens somehow randomly (like after in-game day two or day three), (when memory usage oversteps  1GB).

After that, even holding your cursor on the HQ does the same thing too（sometimes you need to click on HQ）. This happened to me on Scientific tutorial and on Quick Game (all kinds of HQ).

Doesn't matter if the game is paused or not.

When it crashes? According to this post: https://forums.offworldgame.com/461761/page/1/ The game will crash filling 3.69GB of memory, it doesn't releases the RAM space, it remains still or it increases.

I assume this should explain some random crashes issues, like related "Crashing to desktop after about an hour of play", "Late period game crash".

Ver0.0.4853.

Thank you!

Although DeftMunky posted that he/she probably fixed the issue, I wanted to chime in that something similar happens to me. Once I've scanned, if I spend a little time selecting where to place my base, (I haven't timed it but it seems to be around 1.5-2 minutes) it will crash with the same 3.6gb RAM issue. 100% of the time for me for any HQ. This is on quick play. As long as I place my base soon, everything is ok. But if I'm hovering it around the map (trying to see the placement, or how much instant resources I'll gain, or whatever), it will crash. This is while the game is paused; single player. The current workaround for me is: place the base quickly once I've clicked any of the 4 bases. :-)

Yes, that crash should be fixed in the next update as well.
