Browser and Version: 1.22.21775 (18.03.2014 8:05), Andi47 (73349), zz1, en_US, WIN 12,0,0,77, Windows 7, Firefox/27.0, 1920x948, Legacy (bug is present since several versions of the game)
Overview of the bug: when you do certain things in the game (visiting neighbors, motivating, fighting, probably also researching and opening GvG and PvE maps) unused memory will not be purged. (at least one memory leak)
Screenshots: n/a
How often this occurs: always
Urgency: it's ABOUT TIME to investigate and fix this ancient bug, please!
Preventative Actions: repeatedly refresh the browser during motivating/polishing rounds, and other actions (like GvG) you are doing in the game
Summary:
There is a memory leak (since ages) with motivating / polishing, which causes this - and it gets worse when you (and your neighborhood) advance in eras:
To reproduce
1.) refresh - and open the windows task manager
2.) motivate and polish (or attack with or without plundering) as many neighbors as you can, and motivate /polish as many guild-mates and friends as you can (Edit: Also try other types of actions, like visiting GvG and GvE maps, fighting consecutive battles, viewing the research tree, etc. and monitor the memory use)
2a.) Monitor the memory use of the flash player while doing step 2 (best take a look after each motivation / polish or attack)
Result: Depending on your current era you are (the more advanced, the worse), the memory use will successively increase up to several gigabytes(!) - or until the game crashes.
I have performed a quicksearch of the forums using a select few keywords relating to my bug to see if it has already been reported: There is one bug report here where it seemed to be resolved when turning off animations in visited cities (but in fact it does not resolve). There is also one report in the German forum dating back to August(!) 2013 (and with status "Prüfung" (equal to [Investigating] here) since then) (and a thread in the "Allgemeines" forum where players complain about poor performance since ages). I thought I re-report it before it becomes forgotten and ignored... Any news about this???
Have you tried fixing it by using these methods?: refreshing the browser eases the symptoms of the bug, but it does not fix it.
