Hi, I am having some issues with Settlers 6 on Windows 7 Home Premium x64. It seems as if it has a memory leak. The task manager (displayed on a second display) shows the memory allocation climbing and after about 30 minutes of gameplay the game freezes. I can reproduce that pretty reliably. No error message, though. I have to kill the Settlers application.
Has anybody else seen similar behaviour? If so, any suggestions for a fix?
I tried running it with administration priviledges (even though I consider that a pretty stupid thing to do, sorry). Same issue.
The system data is as follows:
MS Windows 7 x64 (Setters 6 is advertised to work with that).
ASUS Laptop N56VZ
CPU: Core i7 3610QM (Ivy Bridge; yes, it's old, sorry)
RAM: 8 GB DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2GB DDR3 (I certainly hope the game uses this hardware)
Intel HD Graphics 4000
I also own the original release of the game on DVD (German). I had that originally running on a Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of RAM and some other NVidia card (don't recall quite wich it was), under MS Windows Vista x86 and also under MS Windows XP x86. No issues there. A bit strange that the GoG version should crash on an overall better system.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions and/or ideas.
