Not freeing memory

November 10, 2021 12:40:13 PM from Galactic Civilizations IV ForumsGalactic Civilizations IV Forums

If I play GC4 first, an attempt to load other software results in a complete freeze. For certain, If I try to load Guild Wars 2, the PC  locks up and the only way to reset it is by pressing the on/.off button on the PC. Nothing else works. Therefore I assume all memory is not being freed and reallocated on exit.

In general I would not recommend running two separate games at the same time. However, it might be an issue related to your machine's limited resources. GC4 is designed to use a lot of resources depending on your choice of map size etc.

No.. not trying to run both at once. After closing GC4 and going on to play another game.

Hmm, that might be a pre-existing hardware issue. If you closed one app and then launcher another there shouldn't be anything from the previous one in memory.
