I haven't opened the tools and tracked my actual RAM usage during play but I do notice that load/save and gameplay after only a few minutes runs slow as frozen molasses. It's also started crashing on me when I try to speed it along with the ctrl fast forward function or just click on an option too fast. The numbers are just too big for most home rigs, even the next gen machines will struggle with this. Unless we upgrade to a bank of NASA level servers, we will all have issues.
mrkhing, I strongly suspect that this is due to the gigantic numbers we as players are generating. The financial system needs to be reworked so that we are not amassing dozens and hundreds of trillions of credits. Just basic adding and subtracting of numbers that large taxes our CPU's then add in all of the bonus multipliers and the game just gets stuck. I fully realize that revamping the financial system may well cause us all to need a restart from square one but the numbers that were out of hand from the beginning have taken over the game and all too frequently freeze or just outright crash the game. I would suggest a new money system where we cash in all of our MCT (monetary credit transfers???) for a new currency that is worth 100 million MCT per single credit or even 1 billion MCT per single credit. The player does not lose any wealth or status, just a new way for the game to count it out in significantly smaller quantities. Maybe call the new currency BCT for Billion Credit Transfer or something similar. If this could be done without all of us needing to start over, that would be optimal. However, even at this advanced stage of the game where I am always working within the current update's content, I would still rather start all over again than have the dozen+ crashes and freezes that I have experienced in this current update. I sincerely hope that you agree and are willing to make the necessary changes. The numbers have taken over this game and are sucking all of the fun out of it.
Adventure ever on my friends, Phat
PS: I LOVE this game and totally enjoy it when it is functioning properly. Shannon is solar flare hot and the jealousy angle with Sophia plays well. Seems a bit odd that that Sophia never bats an eye at MC fucking all of the courtesans on the regular, even getting them pregnant but then... MC doesn't marry them either... Must be those pregnancy hormones in overdrive again. She's carrying number ten now. But, I am sure that MC has plenty of love for both Sophia and Shannon. So, we just keep on laying that pipe!
