Crash because out of memory

Hi guys, in the mission where I go for the Keno (together with the other cube-like shaped underlord Mira), when reaching a certain number of minions, my computer crashes despite having 8 GB RAM (under Win7pro x64). As Noontide asked, I'll post my information here. At the time of the crash, WFTO used 3.6 GB RAM. I'm using Steam, so my WFTO versionis up to date. 2016-09-09_090922.7z War for the Overworld Launcher Log.txt

Game Version:
Steam Public
Platform:
Windows

I am glad you got it sorted for you and I agree something like a clear warning when memory gets low would be useful.
However most of the time we are working on a much higher layer of abstraction and keep the memory management to the game engine (Unity).
And there must be surely ways to figure the current memory load, but we can only do this if it works for all supported platforms: Win32/Win64, OSX64 and Linux64 and this is where things can get fiddly and it might be that we finally need to implement it in multiple ways, one per platform.
However I will raise a low priority improvement ticket to investigate into such feature in future.

Cheers and thanks for letting us know.
