I bought it way back when it came out of alpha but I am trying 1.1 now on my 2500K system, it runs well for a few minutes then it begins to freeze for about 1 second at a time, every second or so, so that I can tell the program is still running but it is a slideshow.
Java is found to be using up over 1GB of RAM...
@ECHO OFF

What's causing it? Garbage collection kicking in?
APWNH wrote:I seriously wonder how they could not have gotten a competent C++ programmer to help them port it over. It's such a popular game! Does everybody need to configure custom start scripts to enlarge the VM size in order to not freeze like I just tossed my machine in the bathtub? That's just absurd.
