OutOfMemory
The highlighted comment was created in this revision.
I've hit OOM errors for Scarlet twice in the past couple days, this time vs DrussGT. Anything you can do to alleviate that? I hate to risk my RR clients dying, but I'd hate to have to exclude Scarlet to avoid it.
Make that 3 times. =) Since it's the GigaRumble, I don't mind just setting my client to 1024mb. But if this is a frequent problem at 512mb, I could see this killing a lot of RoboRumble clients.
Actually, I'm not sure why this would just start happening now. I think I've only seen it happen vs DrussGT, but I didn't think he changed his memory usage. If I'm the only one hitting it (and I've only hit it on my Mac), it's actually no problem to just up my client's memory to 1024mb. But overall that's not a good solution since everyone else is using 512 mb.
I had 2 clients go down with OOM as well. DrussGT is using more memory than it used to, but it has lazy allocation. The problem might be that Scarlet decides to shoot with 0.1 the entire battle because it can't hit me and then I end up using more memory than against anybody else. I'll reduce the depth of my buffers a bit and see if it helps.
I just had another OOM, this time DrussGT 2.7.3 vs Scarlet. I don't know how, because I tested locally and they don't get above ~350MB usage. Is Scarlet at all susceptible to dramatic increases in memory if the game goes on for longer than expected?
