Game stops working

The past month or so I've been having the game crash on me a lot every 30-60 mins, mostly after entering a new zone or exiting a mission. I normally get an error message like this:

./piggs/stage2.pigg: Failed memory allocation
Read failed for file: texture_library/GUI/CREATION/common/Backgrounds/background_skyline_normal.texture
-1

The game ran out of memory and must now exit.

Any ideas what the problem is?

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.50GHz
RAM: 3.00 GB
Video: 2x nVidia GeForce GTS240

Are you leaving the launcher running while you are playing? Once you have opened your launcher click on file>settings and then under the general tab choose exit after launching.

The program has a memory leak and will gradually grab up more and more memory until there isn't enough for CoH to keep running.

Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

I have the launcher set to close once the game has started but that hasn't stopped the errors occuring, perhaps another program is causing this? Although haven't had any problems with any other games or programs. Unless it's CoH itself which is the source.

Update: Looks like the memory leak problem as detailed in this thread http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=257413
