FreeOrion

Can you make sure there are no other freeorion or freeoriond processes running before starting a game? Can you check what's running when you've clicked single player but not yet OK?

Some notes on giant game: - Lag peaked around turn 300, when I was fighting on the most fronts at once. Unsure if that's related, but it calmed down slightly as I closed in on the last quarter of the map - autosaves were >160MB, and I found 20GB or so sitting in freeorion.log, freeoriond.log, and AI...

So I've played well over a hundred games at 100-300 systems, including a round a couple of months ago at 250 systems, 20 AIs, once as each starting species. My latest quest took so much work (as in 10-15 minute wait times between turns) I figured I'd come share it. 1k systems, start as egassem, 40 A...
