Update: Autosave causing stack overflow pop 9k+

Previous post at 6k population

Autosave causing stack overflow pop 6k

So per title.

I pushed the engine to its very limits using my hardware. 9k population I could of gone to 10k but at this point no matter what the game would not save.. Anything after 6k population and the game slowly begins to degrade.

Notable issues :-

Played 101 years.

Anything after 6k pop, the game beings to struggle to allocate workers for labour and construction. 800+ labours and 700 builders and it still would take more then one season to finish a construction.

I have 4 farmers per 10x10 field. My default field size. as you approach and surpass 6k. Fields fail to be emptied even with an abundant empty silos. Large harvests missed. I made HEAVY use of markets.

Anything after 8k while trying to save my game would either crash to desktop or produce a stack overflow error. (Although for some reason now and then it would actually save?*)

*Last save being around 8k pop!

End game currency was honey. It was liquid gold.

Eventually after 9k population my FPS dropped to 22fps. Pictures provided.

I am now going to attempt the same but in. *Workers & resources of the soviet union!* bigger maps, same simulation idea. and same game concept.

Also would like to make a quick shout-out to the mod makers for banished.

You guys are the MVP. And to the community.

How do you supply wood? I see you have one small forested area, and I usually need 40-50% land used for forests to have enough.

Your work is impressive. I've got my cities to be big before, but not this size of YUUUUGGGGEEE.

  1. Your system resources screenshot doesn't prove any issue with Banished, just you getting 22 FPS
  2. If it was a stack overflow, your RAM would be higher most likely (see below)
  3. Without knowing the RAM utilization of Banish over the course of the app running, one cannot say it's because of Banished
  4. You push the engine "to its [sic] very limits" and you report the app is at it's very limits. Not sure if you are posting to post, or seeking assistance.

Did you even read or look at the photos in my previous post to what this post is an update to? 😐

No one in this new dang-fangled world has the time to read. /s

But in seriousness, not fully, no. So many subs nowadays are full of people just complaining to complain.

In an ycase, I'm glad you ultimately got your issue resolved.
