Memory accumulation issues?
I don't have a ton of memory but I meet the requirements, and have plenty of virtual set aside (but not overly excessive), but when I play after changing locations and such very often it starts to really slow, eventually to the point it practically freezes because it's apparently consuming more and more memory. One example is when I was being chased by the mob, the switch from the "initiation" to the chase took forever to come, and was choppy for a fair while at first.
Like I said, the more locations and situations I load the more weighed down it gets. Any solutions to this problem, has anyone else had it?
Help would be greatly appreciated, it becomes a pain to keep saving and quitting to restart unencumbered.
<edit> I should also note that this machine can run rather intensive games, like hl2 quite playably on decent quality settings, so it should be able to handle this better than it does I'd assume </edit>

Also, my only suggestion to you would be to save often and when the slowdown gets extremely unbearable... close the game, start it again and load where you left off.
have there been memory issues before? I'm suitable for the sys reqs.
how does memory work in these games?
102 had a memory leak when it first came out, but that was fixed. (It *was* 102, right? I'm not 100% sure)
I'm thinking 202 might have a minor one as well, on account of me getting a low memory warning for the first time since 102. On the other hand, I had Firefox running while playing 202, and that takes up a good chunk of resources.
Ouch. :eek:
Season one was a bit choppy at times but nothing compaired to the lag i'm getting in 202, it's really really slow.
I wonder....
I've already checked the memory usage and while t's fine at first, evetually it goes through the roof overwhelming my system to the point of disrupting active connections I have (like irc).
