Hey there,
Apologies if this is already documented or has been talked about, but I'm having a hell of a problem and wanted to get some feedback on it if I could.
I love the necromancy skill, as both an rper and pvper it is a big part fo what I do.
Recently I revamped one of the said necros and gave him 120 necro and ss. Now usually when it comes to skill gain my general mode of operation is to use the forms to gain as much of the skill as possible, with the last spells I ever cast to finish up being lich form and vamp form. I've never had a problem with this before, but now I definitely am.
Most of the way with necro goes pretty fast, I've done it all before. However this time I noticed that after working lich form for a little while I started having problems. I would start, go for a while, and then boom uo crashes and gives me a message about virtual memory. So out of curiosity I open up my task manager and start doign the same thing, just casting lich form every few seconds, and what do you know I notice the VM size/usuage jumping up quite a bit with ever single casting.
Well admittedly I was feeling lazy, and didn't want to try reinstalling ultima so I figured hey, I'll just deal with it till' I get to vamp form and maybe I won't have problems with vamp form. Unfortunately this isn't working out either.
I am as of right now sitting at 110 necro(120 with ossian), with two friends on their necros, casting vamp form.
I myself have timed it with task manager open, and in the last 30 minutes my vm size/usage has gone from 84,000 on the client, to 400,737.
Literally that much of a jump in thirty minutes. Both of my friends are viewing the same thing happenign to them. One of my friends, who onyl has 512 mb of crappy ram, is only able to cast vamp form for a few minutes without uo crashing on her.
So this tells me that its a global coding problem. We all are suffering the same issue with uo itself. I and one friend are using uoa, the other is in plain old uo without a third party app.
It seems pretty unreasonable for uo to crash in such a short amount of time from casting a spell. I tried a few mage spells and didn't see this at all.
Anyoen else seeing this problem or aware of it? Any fix to it or feed back would be apprecaited. Thank you mucho.
