How severe are these two problems and do we have a time frame on when these two issues will be resolved.

I have not seen a response on either of these two subjects from Shrapnel nor Malfador.

I am relunctant to play this game as long as these two issues are present. I know Malfador had recently took some well deserved time off but I would like an update on their progress and when we might expect another patch.



I have never seen either of these bugs in any game I have played from 1.02, 1.11 to 1.19.

Just played 59 moves this morning with no problem before stopping to watch the NFL game. I have Pentium 200, 64 MB memory and Win ME. I didn't notice memory filling up but then I didn't check with system information either (will try that next time).

It may not be a problem and if you save game each turn it wouldn't be a high risk to play.

Also I am not playing with a huge number of units and ships which migh keep the range checks away.

These errors are most frequent when someone has modified their local game configuration data incorrectly.

Actually the memory leak for me at least seems to come from the use of fighers (I use ALOT After less the two hours of play, SE4 was using over 400mb of memory (350mb of my physical, and 50mb of swap)
