Pirates.exe Utilizes lots of memory
Lately after the Muertos Moon release on POTCO, I have been experiencing lot's of disconnects from the game, regardless of which server I am in. I have been troubleshooting and noticed that Pirates.exe process is increasing Memory Utilization and never decreases. I've seen this issue for other games executables and I have submitted screenshots and they fixed it on the following release. Anyway, for those of you who are using Vista, and experiencing some sort of disconnects while in the game, you will see that Pirates.exe starts at 78K memory utilization and while game goes along you will see that the process is over 100K...when the game freezes and force you a disconnect, the process is now over 700K Memory Usage. I could be AFK in the game, and the process just eats utilization like crazy.
Has anyone here seen this memory usage going up and never going down before? (Especially Vista users)
For those who want to check the memory usage and don't know how to check, here is some assistance:
a) While in the game, hit the Ctrl + Alt+ Delete keys.
b) Click on "Task Manager"
c) Click on "Processes"
d) Look for Pirates.exe and see memory usage column.
