Summary0000177: "Too many heap sections" crash (suspected memory leak)
DescriptionAlright, this is a bit of a complex bug to setup.

I was browsing the bug section to try and help out by expanding on existing bug reports and I ran into this crash.

I can reproduce this reliably on my machine as follows:

Create a new game, goto the galaxy map and back, zoom out, whatever.
Return to main menu, create a new game on a new map seed, then goto galaxy map, zoom around, etc.
Repeat until you see the crash, happens usually about the 3rd or 4th game in a row I've created.

I did not test this on save games and I only spent a few seconds in each game before quitting back to the main menu.

You can tell the crash occurs once AI War stops responding. When you alt-tab out you will see the attached error message about "Too Many Heap Sections" on the desktop. You can no longer alt-tab back to AI War and have to kill it from task manager.

Which is where my suspicion about a memory leak comes in. When I boot AI War clean and start a new game, task manager reports AI War as using 800megs. When I return to the task manager to force-kill AI War after the crash, it's using 1.2gigs. This was consistent across 3 times that I reproduced this.

Because I never saw this on the first game created after booting AI War fresh, I'm leaving it at minor severity even though it is technically a crash.

Thanks for the report and caution when using the higher severity values ;)

This is indeed a crash-level problem, though, we're going to have to find out where all that memory is going and make sure it's not leaking. Also need to make sure our Unity graphics/sound/etc stuff isn't consuming more than necessary.

I'll be curious to see if you still see this in 3.704. We've made a number of improvements on a variety of fronts, which may help that.

Has anyone hit this in 3.713 or later? We've made quite a few improvements to memory allocation, etc.

How about in 3.717? We changed a TON with that one memory-wise, so I suspect it may be solved now.

 I haven't seen it recently.

However, because of the "Could not open network ports" error that you get if you try to start a second game without closing AI war completely, I've taken to hitting Alt-F4 when done and relaunching the game to conduct my tests rather then just quitting to the main menu and starting a new game.

Edit: K, just ran a quick test. Alternating between new games and a saved game I just started 6 games in a row without quitting the AI War program without seeing this error.

Upon quitting out of the 6th game back to the main menu, task manager shows AI War using 984 megs of memory. Quitting and booting fresh shows AI War using 708 megs.

I'm not sure if that discrepancy of 280 megs means a lot, but I would have almost certainly seen the error at some point during these 6 games if I was still running the old version. Since I didn't I would take that as good news.

Awesome, marking this one as done, then.

The discrepancy in memory usage is normal. The extra memory comes from two places:
1) Textures that are loaded into memory during runtime, and which are then intentionally held until the game closes.
2) Extra capacity that the Mono GC is hanging on to for the heap, which it continuously purges and reallocates for the program (so that it doesn't have to keep requesting more memory from the OS).

From the sound of things, it's handled!

Hate to revive this but I'm running 4.059 (Which I believe is the latest version) and I have had this crash twice today.

There seems to be no real trigger, in my case, except in both cases I was in the process of moving a combat group of +3500 ships, the second time was +8000 ships although strangely enough the game was paused at the time.


I checked task manager shortly before crash and it was running at 2gigs of ram and 1.4 million K.

There's a different thread about this at the moment, actually, with some more info: 2220
