i have 372 handle leaks..

Great to hear it works.

But not all handles are leaks, really, it's perfectly normal to have some handles - like few hundreds - open in Windows

No more leak, good job ATI!
Don't turn of that coffemachine though, still quite some tweaks to do, the game still feels strangely sluggish...

Handle Leaks:

Quote[/b] ]From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A handle leak is a type of software bug that occurs when a computer program asks for a handle to a resource but does not free the handle when it is no longer used. If this occurs frequently or repeatedly over an extended period of time, a large number of handles may be marked in-use and thus unavailable, causing performance problems or a crash.

The term is derived from memory leak.

[edit] Causes

One cause of a handle leak is when a programmer mistakingly believes that retrieving a handle to an entity is simply obtaining an unmanaged reference, without understanding that a count, a copy, or other operation may actually be being performed.

An example of this might be retrieving a handle to the display device. Programmers might use this handle to check some property (e.g. querying the supported resolutions), and then simply proceed on without ever releasing the handle. If the handle was just a pointer to some data structure with no additional management, then allowing the handle to pass out of scope would not cause an issue. However, in many cases, such handles must be explicitly closed or released to avoid leaking resources associated with them; the exact requirements for what must be done with a handle varies by interface.

O problema "handle leaks", em portuguES "N de indentificadores".

How to see the hadle leaks:

<span style='color:blue'>1 -> ctrl + alt+ del
2 -> ("Task manager" ou "Gestor de tarefas do windows")
3 -> ("view" ou "ver")
4 -> ("select colums" ou "seleccionar colunas")
5 -> (select the "Handle Leaks" ou "N identificadores")</span>

263 handles while background cutscene plays in windowed mode


handles increase to 300-500 if using menus / options etc

but seems to stay in that range ...

definitely visible improvement
