Potential crash in ge_dx9device.cpp fixed. Fixed one major problem in memory pool where larger blocks could not be allocated. Memory requirement reduced and performance improved during pack file loading. Memory leak fixed when file reading fails.

Threads used during caching were disabled as various multithreading requirements are not met. Crash Fix when entering '/' at console. Fixed visual artifacts during teleport behaviour resulting from former fixes.

Memory handling improved during teleports making the game more stable as a result. Ini/dx9error.txt at application start removed. More information for user when perking/skilling (pult, quest, teaching). Illumination error regarding vegetation fixed. Looted corpses don't get into the hero's focus anymore. Fixed bug where objects could be off color. Some fixes to avoid playing sounds with empty filenames. Various small cosmetic fixes for the world. Fixed DX9 issue about impossible MIP filtering. Fixed DX9 issue complaining about different vertex stream strides for lightmap. Fixed rendering of zero or less vertices. Fixed memory overwrites in the shader module. Created vertex buffers in default pool instead of managed pool if managed pool fails. Error handling in vertex processors improved. Reused vertex buffer declarations in several locations. Slight performance improvements in ThreadPool. Performance and memory improvements to the container templates. Fixed some memory fragmentation for performance improvements. Memory performance improvements in the mesh renderer. Changes to the file system for Fmodex to avoid file format errors. Fmodex.dll updated to version 4.10.01 (fixing freezes or crashes). Changed control order for Prefetcher Job destruction to avoid deadlocks (and possible crashes). Fixed one crash bug when using teleport stone. Fixed crash bug within entity manager - occurs potentially during main gameplay. Fixed crash bug in physics and character controller - occurs potentially during main gameplay. Fixed a crash bug where entities were cached out even though they were still in use. Fixed access violation exception on program termination - crash during exit. Purged all regular caches before loading a save game - further reducing the memory leak during save/load. Unload caches before game restart (further reduction on memory leaks while saving/loading). Improvements to the memory logging system - giving more detailed protocols of memory allocation activities. Fixed several uninitialized memory reads (potentially resulting in unstable or unpredictable runtime behaviour). Several shader enhancements to improve memory usage. Fixed some potential memory leaks in scripts. Remaining memory impact during save/load reduced from >100MB in some cases to typically less than 1,5MB - thus increasing game stability significantly. Fixed memory leak which produces 84+20 bytes leaks for each save game when entering the load screen. Fixed a potential memory leak which would result when an insert operation fails. Improved memory allocation for memory streams in file system/streams. Fixed memory allocation error when saving. Error handling in memory pool improved. New memory manager implemented to improve performance and stability. conflict between Bink and Fmod fixed so video sounds are played under Vista again. They were working on the engine stuff only, mostly fixing memory management (the very thing you have a problem with probably). Why they weren't asked to make a decent game i don't know, but Jowood probably hoped to sell out when they dumb the game down enough.Дў. Spellbound can be a competent dev as evidenced by their Desperados and Robin Hood games. Click to expand.1.The force responsible for Arcania was Jowood (The same force responsible for rushing Gothic 3 and the sucker punch also known as Forsaken Bugs).

Gothic 2 out of memory
