[0.8.1] Game freezes and consumes all RAM + CPU

Post by Olix »

Hi,

I just updated to the new version. It played fine for about an hour, but just now it started freezing. When the game freezes, it jumps to 100% CPU Utilization on one core, and also consumes all the RAM on my system. The game stops responding, and has to be killed from the task manager. If I load from the most recent autosave, this happens again within about 1 minute.

I have an intel i5-3570K @ 3.4GHz with 4 CPUs, and 8gb of RAM. I am running the x64 version of the game.

Here is the save file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/b81bi ... tosave3.7z

Hi!
I also have similar problem where loading a savegame (autosave) causes Factorio to apparently go into infinite loop and graduraly consumes all the available memory. It takes about 20 seconds for game to use up all 4 GB of my memory.

EDIT: This is fourth level of New Hope Campaign

Thanks for the report. This was caused by the new enemy expansion check in 0.8.1. In some circumstances it caused infinite loop that constantly generated more and more map. The problem is fixed for 0.8.2.
I have no idea what I'm talking about.

So I gues I'll be waiting for 0.8.2 to fix this. Luckily there are other Indie games I have available for play :D
