Knytt Underground steam version: ram problem after 1 hour or so..

i have the latest Knytt Underground updated on steam version, and happen that the ram goes full while playing the game after one hour or so, it hang first, then crash to desktop and i see that the ram is on 90%.. i have 4gb of ram.. very strange
and i must relaunch the game..

That sounds like a memory leak problem. Can you reproduce it or is it always after an hour or so?

Could be either RAM problems or not having a pagefile, etc.
Memory usage was decreased in the latest build on Steam - what are you running on now?

EDIT: Ah, didn't read the post through properly. I wonder if the issue is your machine or with the game.
How much GPU RAM do you have? That could be the culprit in case you're limited in that regard.

i have a hd7850 2gb!

Do you have other programs running in the background that may be eating up unnecessary ram?

no, i disabled them all

What operating system are you using? I'm probably not going to be able to help much but this information will be useful for the other people trying to figure this out, I think.

windows 7 64bit with all updates

this memory leak is resolvable? i remember that with the very first version of knytt underground there wasn't, so it's not my pc problem (no leakss with other present massive 3d games)

a memory leak is a coding problem, so its obviously only happening in one game under certain conditions.

Though a memory leak is a coding error, it's not necessarily one in the game. It might as well be a problem with how a certain driver or library version and how it responds to something a game does. Either way, I'll check with Mathias who knows this better.

Hi djsolidsnake86

Could you make sure your GPU drivers are up to date? It seems like this may be an issue specific to AMD HD GPUs.

they are already!
