Exhausted Memory?

Jabbro · Post by **Jabbro** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 3:50 pm

Oolite is a great simulator and does not seem to have all that many polygons to map, but it seems that docking, or coming close to it, eats the virtual memory. I have even been in large battles (six ships, AI and all) and have not had such problems but once in the space station range (where the S should show up but does not on the PC version) memory becomes increasingly scarce.

Below is the log file. Any suggestions?

Virtual memory exhausted

Yes, I suspect there is a looping AI condition in the docking system that's causing this intermittent memory loss. We're working on it.

Thanks for the update. It makes a docking computer look really attractive.
