Can unhelpfully report that I haven't had any issues with this II version so far. Running 64bit Win 10 JRE 1.8.0_77 (8 gigs allocated to SS, fairly regular 5+ hour sessions)
That's actually a -helpful- report (albeit slightly surprising with the combination of no issues and java 8).

By contrast, I've been running SS with its included 32-bit JRE and default one gigabyte of ram.

It's entirely plausible that people running into memory issues simply haven't increased that default allocation and that II just needs more room to work with.
(It's also, of course, entirely plausible that there is some sort of memory leak and it's just too slow to matter when you've got eight gigabytes of ram allocated to the game. I shall see what I can do to figure out which of these is the case.)

Grinningsphinx: The hang I was referring to in my post is the same one you're experiencing. Try disabling better beginnings. I'm not sure why it conflicts with II and nothing else, but apparently it does.

It's probably because I'm screwing around with the rules file in the game. If II has some mechanics that use its own rules.csv file, then that might cause issues - chances are the same issues that mean so many mods with cool features can't be updated until 0.8.1. I'll take the blame for that, although BB is me experimenting with the rules files, so I can't troubleshoot very well yet.

Either way, @Grinningsphinx you're clean to remove Better Beginning after you've started a save. All it interacts with is the game creation process, and nothing beyond that, so you can safely remove it from an existing save.

I've encountered the slow-save issue (and later an outright save failure) while testing Nexerelin + a few utility mods (in a Normal-sized sector) with 0.8a while using default vmparams. Adding a few major mods to the game certainly seems to push things to the limits of a 1 GB memory allocation.

I think Starsector could stand to have a message "The last save took considerably longer than normal. Consider restarting and reloading the game to free up memory."

if you're running into mod problems with more than a few mods installed, the first thing you should do is increase java's memory allocation (assuming you haven't already).

instructions here: http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=8726

like some others have said, I haven't ran into any problems with this version of II.

I run SS on both a Windows 10 desktop and (occasionally when bored on the go) an OSX Sierra. Both run this mod with flying colors. Modified vparams, of course. 4.75 gigs on each.

I did my own testing with a dev version of DynaSector, which kicks up memory usage a fair bit and didn't see any leaks using a cursory check, a while back.  If it does leak, it's going to be hard to find.

I just spent eight hours testing to see if I could find any evidence of a memory leak.  And the answer is no, there's no reason to believe Interstellar Imperium has a leak.  It -does-, however, expand during play, and a memory allocation that's enough to load and start playing with no problems may not be enough to -keep- playing with no problems.

My advice is to, if you're going to use II, give the game at least one GB more RAM than you think you need.  If it loads & starts to play fine with the default 1GB allocation, give it 2GB.  If you're running enough mods to need to give it 2GB just to get the game to run, make sure to give it 3GB instead.  And so on and so forth.

Thank you so much!

I did my own (shorter) test, and found more or less what Wyvern is saying.  Basically, there isn't a perfect mapping of save file size to memory upon unpack; some state is essentially "lost" because it's unimportant or otherwise ignored for the purposes of retention.  This is why restarting the game with the same save causes memory usage to drop...

As for why II is so hungry, well... The biggest line-items for memory usage are markets and fleets.  II has these in spades.  The next update should cut down on this, but at the end of the day, the Imperium is what it is - and probably shouldn't be played with the baseline 1GB memory settings.

The best kind of news. And thank you for giving up your time to create and maintain all this anyway.

[0.8.1a] Interstellar Imperium 1.17.0
« Reply #402 on: June 04, 2017, 02:43:06 AM »

Hopefully, this is the last refinement pass before I start work on the Big Things that have been planned for the Imperium...

Note: DynaSector is necessary for debris/salvage adjustments to certain Imperium campaign features.  Without certain features added by DynaSector, significantly more gear is possible to salvage than is actually intended, which can negatively impact balance and your enjoyment of the game.  If you don't like certain changes introduced by DynaSector, (nearly) all of them can be turned off in DYNASECTOR_OPTIONS.ini.

Could you make it so the completed ibb missions sell the modded ship at the bazaar in Thracia because I have been haveing trouble getting them to drop in the later ones because the fleet size makes it so the modded ship drop lower.

ps this is an awesome mod keep up the good work.
