here is some interesting news....for the first time ever i decided to turn steam off after starting the server....that was over 2 hours ago since then some of the TX guys and handful of other people have joined...but seemed tobe having problems as they would pick a side get a plane and then crash...leave the server and come back (must be the "Create" bug)
The real news is that the Launcher is using half the ram it usual does AND does not seem tobe holding onto like it did (climbing with each new player).
it is currently at 78 megs as opposed to 150megs (with steam on) it should be at 140 considering past trends but it is not
this might be a fluke but IF it is not we MAY have found what is causing the memory problems
do you remember in the beginning how they could not get Steam and CLOD to work together? and Luthier hinted it was steams problem and not the game......hmmmm
Give it a try guys...start your server look at what the launcher is using (and look at steam aswell, because it was using 50 megs when i turned it off) and then shut down steam and note the difference and see how long the server stays up.
S!
