Memory leak?

[ripple]

I find that after playing the game for a while (any where from 20 minutes to an hour), I start to experience CTDs while doing the following things:

 

- opening the ESC menu

- opening the character inventory menu

- opening trader inventory menus

- opening crafting and cooking menus

- cell transition (where I am stuck with the 'infinite loading screen')

 

What I do to mitigate this:

- save often

- manually purge cell buffers

 

For the most part, I am ok if I do the above two things, but I was wondering if there's anything else I can do to mitigate the issue (ini changes and so on). I don't want to set bPreemptivelyUnloadCells=1 or manually PCB too often because purging cell buffers can break scripted 'scenes' and AI routines.

 

My spec:

Intel Core2Duo E8400 3.0 GHz

4 GB ram

512 MB GPU (yeah....but I am ok. I get 35 - 50 FPS outdoors and 50 - 60 FPS in interior cells).

Win 7, 64 bit

 

uGridsToLoad=5
uExterior Cell Buffer=64
uInterior Cell Buffer=32
iPreloadSizeLimit=262144000
fMasterFilePreLoadMB=100.0000
