Computer AI locking up and consuming all(12G) of RAM?

[Treebeardz]

I setup a local AI game and at times the computers will just sit there randomly if something is on the stack. For example the computer at was swinging at another computer AI with no blocker. Its own "Duelist Heritage" hits the stack....CPU goes to 95% an RAM goes to 100% of the 12G allocated in the batch run command?

This didn't used to happen on older version. Is there a fix? Can we get some Dev time spent with the AI and making it better or less buggy?

Some rare cards or abilities can be broken for AI (example: if some action can be executed infinite amount of times). That's ok. Just restart server and try to find broken card to remove it from deck (and report).

I fell that this is a bigger issue then just one card. It happens all the time but never early in the game. Always later in the game. I will attempt with one deck to remove all issue card and try and put in only AI friendly card to test this theory.

By chance is there a community created deck that is AI friendly? Or some decks known to be AI friendly or with less issues?

Still hoping we'll get some dev time into the AI and a solution to force an action based on how long the AI spends determining an action. I would rather the AI make a dumb move so the game can continue vs sitting in an inf loop. This should be possible.

There are some old AI decks:
* from game folder "\xmage\mage-client\sample-decks\AI\"
* from https://www.reddit.com/r/XMage/comments ... _xmage_ai/

But abilities/cards fixed and changed so some AI can play new cards and can broke another. If you catch game freeze with 100% cpu for TOO LONG TIME then AI found broken card/ability. If it unfreezed at the end then all fine -- just too much cards/moves to calculate.

XMage's AI takes max 20-25 seconds to think about next move. You can change AI level to lower level (each level gives 2-3 seconds to think time) -- it can help with slowly AI in late game.
