Game runs out of memory about devilutionx

[AJenbo]

We do currently have some memory leaks in the engine. Especially things are often not unloaded in some places; like audio handling and video loading. I don't think anyone has tested Devilution for 6 hours continuously so that might be a bit of a feat 😄 Did you happen to check the actual memory usage at the time?

For now, restarting the game every 5 hours should work, I will add this to the release notes. Do you remember what specifically was happening at that point in the game (where you enter the level, did you find a new item, etc?

If you want to look into solving some of the issues the debug build does a pretty good job of listing some of the leaks when the games exits, so it should fairly straight forward to start chipping away at.

I was on level 10, I think actually in combat killing something. The game looked like hitting the 32bit memory usage limit to me, around 3gigs of memory used when this happened.

Now it just crashed silently, my system monitor says it is still using 2.9gigs of memory.

@predator8bit please try out the latest release, it should have fixed most of the leaks.
