EQ2 Memory Used -- I'm Impressed

**Drumstix42** · #1 02-06-2005, 06:19 PM

Just sitting here browsing the net while in trader mode in EQ2. I decided to hit alt-ctrl-delete to see how much memory EQ2 was taking from my system and I was quite surprised to see 356k. All I can say is wow. I have quite high settings, not maximum in everything, but most things are turned way up... If I remember correctly EQ1 took anywhere fom 400-500k at times. I'm impressed

It may be low because when your in trader mode, your the only one in your room and there isn't very much happening... And as long as there isn't much to calculate (i.e., lots of movement, other characters - both NPC and PC), then you aren't going to use much memory...

Has anyone experience a progressive EQ2, um how do I describe this, "sluggishness" after the game has been on for a while? I instintually ascribe this to a memory leak but it seems like the 1gig is not being used too fully. I have pretty much made it a rule to restart after the game has been on for more than 5 hours. Anyone else see the same kind of thing happening?

That happens to me but its about 2 or 3 hours not 5 hours. I am also only playing on a 1.8 GHZ w/ 512 and a GeForce FX 5200 vid card (128 bit)

It seems like I start lagging a bit in the bigger zones (Qeynos Harbor, North Q, South Q)

if you play 5 hours straight you can take the time to shower and let your memory clear itslef with a cold reset

In city zones I don't think I've seen it go above 400k, if I'm remembering correctly.

As for EQ2 getting slowly "laggier", yes I experience it after zoning a lot and play for a while. I either restart EQ2 totally or restart my computer (which is best).
