Hi. I registered here just to report two software defects I found while playing the release version of the game, 1.0.0.5.
I believe these issues to be related to each other, and possibly related to having many save game files in the saves directory, as both issues occurred when I tried to save, quicksave, or during an autosave. I had 1.88 GB worth of save files in the save games directory (171 save directories). I archived my save files and moved them out of the saves directory, which I suspect may allow me to continue playing.
The first issue, which seems to be more severe, leads to a crash to desktop. This issue occurred more recently when I tried to quicksave in one of the cave maps. I do not have an indication the map was to blame, as I had already successfully saved on that map previously. Looks like a NPE when referencing a TimeSpan object in the (obfuscated?) ah2 object, function m. Here is the stack trace:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The second issue occurred a few days ago when I was transitioning between maps outside SGS (IIRC). I believe this occurred during an autosave before loading the next map. Looks like a hash map resize operation failed to grab more memory from the heap when adding KVPs to a serialization map during a save routine. Is this map being garbage collected/deallocated after each save? Should it?
My system has 4x+ the recommended system requirements to run the game, and I don't believe the game is attempting to use more than 4GB of RAM, if that (32 bit executable?). I see 500MB on average, but after leaving the game running for about 10 hours, there is some minor performance degradation. There may be slow memory leaks that contribute to these errors, but I do not know for sure.

After this OOM exception problem, the game did not crash, but kicked me back to the main menu, where I was unable to load a recent game. I restarted the game, and was able to continue playing with no further issues (until the above NPE).
I believe these problems will temporarily be alleviated by removing save files from the save game directory, because both issues appear to be related to saving the game state, specifically allocating resources during the save operation, and these errors only cropped up after I had accumulated a significant amount of data in the saves directory.
You may want to look into what is being loaded into memory during a save operation. The game probably does not need to load any existing save data into memory for a quicksave, or autosave, and only the top 10 or so need be loaded for the manual save UI, with more being loaded conditionally as the user scrolls down the list of saves. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks for making a great game!
