Getting an "out of memory" error whenever I try to start the game. It only started happening with this update.

You might need to buy more memory. Restarting your computer could help temporarily.

I'm not so sure it is that. I could run the old version just fine, even up to just before updating the game. Nothing has really changed on my computer to warrant not having enough memory all of a sudden. It does also post a bunch of lines in the traceback. Is there a place I can send this to and maybe you can see if something else is acting up?

This issue happens when you install apps in 32 bits as well, because 32bit apps have a limited amount of ram they can use

No idea if it helps, it probably doesn't. Look at your task manager, and if the memory is not going near 100%, then maybe it's not your ram

Thank you for the suggestion! I tried it out and found about what I expected.

I have 16 GBs of RAM total. 6 of that is held up in other processes. I don't know much about RAM or how it gets used but, that feels a bit excessive right off the bat. However, when I go to start up the game it only climbs to about 9 GBs total being used. So it's definitely not using up my memory, which I interpret as it not being a memory issue.

This is for Runey: I did have another look at the traceback when I tested out my memory usage. The error message says: "I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. After initialization, but before game start. error: Out of memory." Then it has the full traceback. As I demonstrated above, I don't think this is an issue of my memory. Maybe there's a memory leak glitch that can occur in some downloads?
