Has this ever happened to you ...game hangs when calling the pet adoption agency
angelyne:
Has this ever happened to you... I sound like some cheesy commercial for dandruff or maybe adult diapers or something ..
Anyway a weird thing happened yesterday. I got it in my head to call the adoption agency in order to get a pet. I'll plead temporary insanity on that one.. Anyway, the game hiccups and the hard drive goes wild. Ok so it's generating a animal control officer or some such thing. Although I thought I had already done that with the tree, but whatever..
So it's grinding and grinding and not spitting up anything. I check my task manager and I'm at 1.2 gb of memory used. Hmmm. Not good since I have only a 1GB. (Note to self: get extra ram) Hard disk is still grinding, swapping furiously obviously. Decide to step away from the computer for a bit. Come back 5 minutes later and my memory usage has climbed to 2.5 gb. Aarg. that's not a memory leak that's a memory flood. That's an alien takeover. I had to terminate the program.
Weird.
Weaver:
The game floods over with generating stray pets for adoption, at least that is what happens to me.
Fifty or so character files later and the original phone call was only for a single pet. Heh.
angelyne:
I was afraid something like that was happening. But I checked my game in SimPE after and there doesn't appear to be any new character files. Maybe terminating the game stopped it.
But good point. No more pet adoption agency. They are PETA's supporters anyway. I shall boycott them. I'm going to create my own Pet adoption agency. Some ornery old coot with a couple of mean dogs will run it.
gynarchy:
This exact thing happened to me today, except I ended up with 206 empty package files in my Characters folder. Last time I ever call to adopt a pet.
SaraMK:
This has to be a glitch of some kind. I had this exact thing happen.
Called the agency. There were no animal control officers yet in the 'hood, so the game hangs... and creates about 30 character files. I had the Characters folder open at the time (I often do that, to monitor how many sims are getting dumped into my 'hood), and watched this happen with my own eyes. I also had to terminate the game from the Task Manager because it had been something like 5-10 minutes and it didn't look like it was going to start responding any time soon. The extra character files vanished as soon the game was terminated. Also, the memory usage had climbed to about 2.5GB. I have 4GB, so this wasn't over what was available, but it was much higher than usual.
