Memory leak?
kryptmoon:
I've read in several different threads that Bon Voyage has a bad memory leak. What exactly is a memory leak and how does it affect one's computer in terms of performance and gameplay? Can something like this be fixed with a patch?

Thanks for the info. Although reading all of that gave me a headache, I'll just have to guess that it is'nt safe to play for extended periods until this issue is adressed by EAxis.(Hopefully).
Even on a High Performance machine, with all updated BV hacks, all awesome and a few non-awesome, I have mini second lags constant on any community lot until I leave.(never had that issue before with all options and smooth on high. I have since then turned down the res and smooth edges off, it's still the same.I have no problem with anything else glitches or otherwise. I am assuming this is due to to this.
Apreciate the feedback by the way.

There are certainly some lag issues, but how much of this is due to a 'memory leak' situation seems to be unclear, as is the question of how serious this is.
For example, in my game there are occasional lags, normally due to lot loading, visiting sims arriving and departing from a lot, spawining of necessary NPCs etc. However, I have run the game for periods exceeding 6 hours at a stretch and have not noticed that lags increase in frequency or duration, and I have never had the game crash.
It may help that I disable all non-essential processes on the computer before running the game, turn shadows down to medium, and never play with the computer online. Lag has been reported to be worse if the game is trying to phone home. Bypassing the launcher also helps.

Hmmm....I had thought the few seconds lag was due to the new "phone home feature" with BV. It's almost enough to make me uninstall it and I just may, after the "newness" of vacations wears off.
