I have i5-3570 3.4Ghz on Wins 8.1 x64 platform and the memory may seem to be low for less than 16GB of ram to run that insane map. If insane map doesn't cut it, then what is suitable map size should I play that is the biggest for less 16Gb of ram? I didn't want to waste time playing tell it CTD. Guess I need to double my base memory output here.
ram is the big thing and it seems you are OK.
you may start to slow down around turn 200 though.
It depends on how many races. I found I couldn't play enough races on insane, so I went to excessive to fit more factions.
Yeah I was thinking of that too, more species, ships and other objects will eat more ram, even if you keep saving the game as well. So better turn off that autosave and play for like 30-45mins save the game then reboot. That way it would be more stable and giving it fresh run.
Anyway just ordered another 16Gb of ram from newegg, so this will give me of total of 32GB ram on this rig I made. Should be alright playing insane maps, depending on the setups.
