[0.14.2] Video Memory Usage resets to low

Post by bergi9 »

The "Video Memory Usage" always get resetted to low on start of factorio. Even modifying in config.ini.
But the VRam usage on my GPU is ~700mb with low setting.
According to the logs, it just load it as low where in the config.ini was medium.
Overriding the the usage by command line doesn't force it to use all vram.

Is there an other way to force this option? I hope it's not a bug by factorio.

It might be because the GTX 580 only has about 1500 MB of ram and textures are usually square. The game might be allocating its sprite sheet at 700 MB of ram instead of 1500 to prevent swapping back to main memory.
