Is there a way to turn off the new memory manager?

[Rolds]

I have 32 gb ram, i7 7700, gtx 1070, ssd install, and was not having any problems with 2.5 loading times. 2.5.1 has resulted in a performance hit and I'd like to go back.

 

Thanks!

Reminds me of Windows now. Starts swapping even though 30GB of physical RAM are still free

 

That's why to disable the swap file

 

The memory manager should not just free up space by removing assets that haven't been used for 10 seconds, it should also just do that if the free memory is getting low.

I also have performance problems now that I didn't have in 2.5. 2.5 worked very well on my PC, In 2.5.1 when I switch views (eg F2 to another plane or so, it always starts with a black object and it takes time to reload the skins. )

 

This makes that I now are no longer able to make videos and experience a serious FPS hit at the same time. I have enough memory so that is not the issue.

In german there is a special word for this: verschlimmbessert, meaning making it worse with the intention to make it better. But I‘m confident ED will remedy the shortcomings of the memory Manager sooner than later.

For me 2.5.1 works a bit better tho it taxes less ressources. It's smooth and loading times are somewhat OK, not optimal but I dont crash and I can fly, reproducable.

 

 

But I agree, the limiter should have a dial for 8-16-32GB machines or any other stepping that makes sense.

 

I don't think it's verschlimmbessert all the way. It really cuts the RAM usage and that is what many asked for.
