Mods-o_joy Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I know that im going to catch flak for not expecting this, but this is a bit overkill. i was running 3GB's, sometimes 4GBs of RAM usage in 1.5.8OA, Now im running over 6.1 Gbs and 2.3GBs page-file during loadd, and 5GBs once in and loaded, this makes multiplayer impossible. framerate wise everything is fine* for the most part. *minor expected drop of about 10 frames. Specs(I used to get 160FPS on high settings in 1.5.8OA): Pentium G4560-3.5Ghz-Kabylake EVGA 1050Ti 4GB 8GB RAM I was expecting minor dips, and actually getting in game is fine on single player, everything looks stunning, but the load times are absolutely horrible now. A10C - Block 5+7, AV8B/NA Harrier, F-14B. Pentium G4560, GTX 1050Ti, 20GB's total, 1x16GB Kingston Hyper X, And a 1x4GB Avexir Core Series kit, fleamarket mouse/keyboard, i swear it works fine :megalol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drag80 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Please note that its ok to take longer to load but its not ok to stutter while in game. This is perfectly fine if its taking longer to load. Means data is being loaded in RAM once and for all. Once loaded it should not read from HDD anymore. 8 GB Ram wont cut it. U need atleast, I mean, ATLEAST 16 GBs to run latest games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the former, it's not really comparable since the graphics engine and the terrain data is completely different in 2.2/2.5 so it will naturally increase the RAM usage compared to the obsolete 1.5.8. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

Auntystatic Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 last night my game was using over 8gig of ram from my 32gig and I was stuttering all over with around 35fps over 3x monitors, the lag stutters were very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinusoidDelta Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 It seems even 16Gb isn't enough...something is running havoc somewhere..this isn't right. I’m seeing 2.5 use nearly 14gb of RAM before becoming unresponsive. I think something is wrong too. Edit: I’m using 16gb DDR3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugdriver Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) I’m seeing 2.5 use nearly 14gb of RAM before becoming unresponsive. I think something is wrong too. Edit: I’m using 16gb DDR3 Which aircraft were you flying? I had the same in 2.0 but only with the Mig 21 and only online. Today had the same issue (ran out of RAM at 16 GB) but was flying the harrier online. JD AKA_MattE Edited February 1, 2018 by Jugdriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil 505 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hey Gents, Updated last night and ran through Normandy with the Spit and new Caucasus map woth the Huey, Gazelle, Sabre, and Tiger. I am running on an older computer, AMD FX 8120 8 Core, Windows 10 Pro (64 of course), 16GB ram, and a Geforce GTX 960 (2 GB I think). Older computer but still runs everything on high with no horrible conflicts. Need a new computer for sure and plan on it SOON, but still able to run without conflicts making 2.5 un playable. Not sure if that helps. I have no other apps or software running in the background. Hope you gents get it fixed. 2.5 is amazing. High five DCS.

LeeroyGB Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 +1 here I bet that if I had more than 16GB RAM, it would have kept growing I'm not sure about that buddy, I'm on 32GB of decent RAM and the game conked out around 16gb and softlocked on me, even waiting for the process to un-f#ck itself, but alas she crashed and burned. Must say, the game looks fantastic, frame rate was smooth enough, but there's definitely something up with that memory allocation in MP servers. I don't know what's causing it but it's definitely there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyCat Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) +1 here I bet that if I had more than 16GB RAM, it would have kept growing I also noticed that 2.5 use every byte RAM (16 GB) available but it won't necessary be a bad thing if it use this as cache instead of using the HD. Of course I don't know for sure, only the dev's know but if that is the case it's a good thing and (0should)0 improve/ performance. But of course it may also be a bug. Just thinking out loud :) Edited February 2, 2018 by KeyCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziptie Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Even when i dropped my settings all the way to the lowest possible, can't keep fps even at a solid 45. gets choppy, chunky and down right ________ terrible. i don't understand how 16gigs of ram (DIMM?), GTX980 and an i7 6700 4ghz can struggle this much with this game. wish the help offered so far did something but it hasn't, nearly any combination. wish i could give you some kind of data log, or screen shot of task manager, or something cause with the f18 coming (purchased) and this new drop of 2.5 - it seems that i won't even be able to fly. it truly seems to be accentuated massively in multiplayer (sadly where all the fun is). signed, and incredibly frustrated wanna be pilot :/ i7 6700 @4ghz, 32GB HyperX Fury ddr4-2133 ram, GTX980, Oculus Rift CV1, 2x1TB SSD drives (one solely for DCS OpenBeta standalone) Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs Airframes: A10C, A10CII, F/A-18C, F-14B, F-16C, UH=1H, FC3.

HiJack Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Having your windows swap file settings correct is extremely essential with this version! Run a check on your settings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Also if you have an AMD card I recommend changing the Shader Cache settings from AMD Optimized to ON on a DCS profile. Normally you want the Global settings to AMD Optimized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rotten Flieger Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I have 16 gig of DDR3 and multiplayer is unplayable. I can play simple offline maps and get good fps but online is hopeless. Resources says almost 16gig RAM used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team m4ti140 Posted February 3, 2018 ED Team Share Posted February 3, 2018 I've seen people report as much as 23GB of memory used. Why is 8GB listed as minimum and 16GB as recommended if people with 32GB are already running short on memory? Is this intended, or are there still unplugged memory leaks in 2.5?

BitMaster Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 yep, tha 16GB were likely enough for 1.5.x, I think even for MP in 1.5.x it wasnt enough, but now, hey, MP is 17-19GB on my end. Smooth as silk.

SliderCDN Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 No, that is abnormal. There are games and sims that are much more complex and run better, but don't use even 8Gb. This is a DCS problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitMaster Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 So you decide if it is too much RAM being used or not, based on your own RAM amount ?!
