memory leak?

• sakraycore wrote on 2011-11-14 17:58
  I have an annoying sound skip problem in win7 64-bit that makes the game practically unplayable >_> it's not just the momentary skip, it keeps on skipping. It doesn't develop instantly, but over time...but once it starts skipping, it keeps on skipping.
  
  I dont even know. My win7 64-bit install is rock stable too, every OTHER game works flawless on it. Go figure.
  
  The only thing I haven't tried is installing vindicuts on Windows XP, as it seems like this game might work better on an ancient OS....I mean, it should at least try to use more memory as that's the whole point of a 64-bit OS but nooo...it always uses like 700MB.

  It doesn't do that for me, which leads me to believe the OS isn't causing it.

  It may not be the OS but something is causing it..and I don't know what. But whatever it is, it's only happening for vindictus and I remember it has always been fine (in win7) too, it's a relatively new development too.

  I found a possible fix for the memory leak error. I'll try it when I get a chance.

  I'm almost sure this game has some problem managing memory now.
  
  I was able to crash with the 'out of memory' error shortly after i alt tabbed back to the game yesterday. I think there's something to do with that?
  
  I dunno, but I have more than enough ram, overkill amount really. A whopping 12GB ram xD
  
  I play on vista 64-bit for this game, but on win7 I have a different problem.

  
  
  2 GB ram and working just fine.

  That doesn't mean much as you are probably not using settings me and rebeccablack are using.
  
  I haven't crashed in a very long time ever since I reduced a few of the in-game settings, but anyways like I posted earlier, this issue may possibly be fixed using an external program to allow the game to use up to 4GB of system ram.
  
  We need to test it for an extended period of time to tell.

  It would take a looong time of testing. Usually when it happens to me it's because I've played the game for 4 hours straight and then left it in the background for another 2 at least. I suppose all I can do is patch it and tell you if it happens again. If this just increases the amount of memory usable from 2GB to 4GB, though, all it means is that it'll probably take twice as long to occur.

  I am using normal preset setting with 30fps. And I can also run good with 30 fps and a bit fluncturation. Unless you are doing ultra or stuff, I don't see how the demand on your ram would be higher.

  I was doing ultra. All settings maxed except for debris on medium. I think I also turned water reflections to medium but that was pretty recent, didn't need to do that before sewers came out.
