[0.9.3 x64] Factorio uses 3 GB RAM (all RAM available)

Post by DRBLN »

I have just started a new game.
And it uses all RAM available (3 GB), which makes the game impossible to play due to constant freezes.

Well,

I installed Factorio x32 even though I have Win x64.
Unexpectedly, the game uses just 1 GB of RAM.

Still, 1 GB of RAM for factorio seems like A LOT!

Do you use my mod? I normally play with all mods, and use 1,7 gb ram (but my processor is quick, real quick)
My mod uses a lot of memory. It stores all graphics in the memory. So when ypu have alot of biters, the ram usage goes up. Same goes for large factories

When I enabled all the working mods available and loaded games, It was using less than 2GB in 64bit version.

P.S. You can compare the memory consumption with/without the low res mode, I'm afraid that you have shared video memory, so the sprites are stored there twice (once as video memory, and once in normal as backup).
