I 'm now at turn 140... the game kinda stutter (soundwise and framerate) seems to lag,

I see in task manager the game using 1,4 gig of ram... the cpu peak's at 30% usage when i hear the stutter,

is this a known issue?

did I do something wrong?

In the alpha notes there was a listing of known issues and this was listed.

After some time, the game can occupy too much system memory. It is advised to restart the application when this happens.

Maybe that could be the issue.

Yeah I have a game at turn 130. Takes forever to get through the load screen, sound stuttering all the while. Then it finally gets into the game, sound stuttering and game non-responsive. Sits like that for a while before giving the heap error. Tried multiple times to load the game and it just won't let me continue. Guess I'll try starting a new game now.

I just want to add that I had this same problem as well. Around 130ish into the game, things start stuttering and crashing frequently with the "too many heap sectors" error. Bummer, I was finally starting to win!

I haven't had a crash yet, but I did have stuttering, and was wondering if it was related to memory. Good to know.

The game has been running flawless for me, barely and jitter/frame loss. It might be something to do with your hardware, or drivers?

Only have some FPS drops at Manual ship battles , thought it's because of my damaged video card mostly .

I was playing for a couple of hours yesterday night and it froze on me while I was waiting for a turn to end other than that, i've been playing on max settings without a glitch!

It is a known issue with memory, as far as I know.

The game freezing at end of turn has more to do with a corrupted savegame iirc, I had the problem 2ce and each time, recurring to another savegame (Auto-save a couple of turns earlier) solved the problem quite nicely.
