Has anyone else noticed a "bogging down" of the game after a extended period of playing?

Not really a problem, just save and restart game then works great till starts "bogging down" again.

It does take some time before this starts happening, hours.

Just wondering if it is my computer.

This is still a great game!

Waiting for the Pacific theater:D

I've played UV for hours on end and left it running more than 24 hours occasions (wasn't playing all that time though :D)

What OS are you using? Can you tab out of UV and see what's sucking memory and CPU time?

Interesting. I am no computer programmer, but some of the symptopms I noticed with UV do look similar to other games/programs with confirmed memory leak bug.

For me there are no problems with UV itself (except for the occasionaly different replay when I play PBEM as US - and that's confirmed bug), but when I exit the game, Windows seem to take good 1-2 minutes to get a grip on themselves, clear the memory, paging file and whatever, re-adjust the resolution etc... as if a MAJOR memory and systems hog just went away, and things are slowly getting back to normal.

I have Win XP, AMD Athlon 1,2G on one machine, AMD Duron 800M on another, 256 MB RAM on both machines... both show the same symptoms.

I have Win XP on a 1.5ghz Pent. 4
256 SDRM
40gb HD
32mb Nvidia video card

There are no TSR running or background programs.

The slowing down is not really a problem, I was just wondering if it was my machine.

Really it's no big deal, I was just courious;)

best game in the world!

My UV starts slowing down after a couple of hours and on one very long session it has also developed errors with the ship graphics in the TF screens, not showing them at all. Went away after a restart of the game. WinXp, P4 2ghz, 256 SDRAM, GeForce4 M64 460MX, 80gb HD, Anti-Virus in background.

Guess it is just my computer's way to tell me that I have played enough for the day.

The memory problem I have seen and I use XP Pro btw:

The 'WINDOWS' memory seems to be the limiter. Something
chews it up. At a guess(and I MEAN guess)
it looks like object memory is not being recovered.
So eventually the memory allocation takes longer to create pointers because it has to hunt around for space.

I have seen grotesque slowdowns but so far no crash.
Also the number of saved games definately has an effect,
I have no idea why.

I also suggest you defrag your disk.

I've found that using "Start" "Shut Down..." and "Restart" clears up my problem of hanging when I want to Shut Down my Win98SE P3 laptop.

What does that tell you?

Occasionally if I have been doing something else like compressing and sending and receiving files for a while there are strange graphics when I atl-tab back into UV. But they usually go away if I alt-tab out and then back again. Since the game is turn based I don't really notice any slow down after hours and hours of play.:)
