Extreme system memory usage.


Well, I DLed the patch, started playing, and said "Yay! Framerate optimization!" So I start off killing people with my outfit on Oshur. We get overwhelmed and move on to Cyssor. Now, I wasnt experiencing the severe 5 second lag that normally occured when opening a door during this time. All well and good there but after I got to the sanc and opened the door to the outside I froze for about 20 some seconds. So I figure its just another oddity in the framerate optimization. (I was getting heavy sudden FPS lag in the strangest places) So I continue on. The next thing I know I'm staring at my desktop in standard PS fashion.

Now I figure I'm donw to about the usual 250~ megabytes on my HD, which is normal after a session starting at 750~ megabytes. I got to win explorer and I have a mere 585 KB, thats a smidge more than half a megabyte, remaining.

Why is this? I cant free up more than about 1 gig on my computer anymore, so now what do I do? Live with CTDs every other cont load?

P.S. What happened to the server poulation dots?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't PS designed to work with higher end systems?

Minimum Specs: With this setup, the game will run, but not good...even in small battles.

Windows� 98/2000/ME/XP
Pentium� III 1.0 GHz or greater
256 MB RAM
Direct3D compliant video card with 32MB RAM *
DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card
56k + Internet connection
4X speed CD-ROM
3.25 GB hard drive space
DirectX 8.1 or greater

Recommended Specs: With this setup you'll get good FPS in most situations. In large battles your FPS will drop.

Windows� 98/2000/ME/XP
Pentium� III 1.6 GHz or greater
512 MB RAM
Direct3D compliant video card with 64MB+ RAM
DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card
Broadband Internet connection
8X speed CD-ROM
3.5 GB hard drive space
DirectX 8.1 or greater


IMO, the recommended system requirement should include 1024mb RAM with a 128mb vidcard.

Robo, the thing is that I DO have the min req system memory. I had around 4 gigs before I installed PS.
