Factorio Forums

Been having issues with playing the game, having odd memory issues on my PC when running factorio. Can do further testing as needed.

System ->
Ryzen 9 7900X
Radeon 7800XT
32GB 6000 DDR5 Corsair Ram

Check the performance tab in Task manager too. It should show details on VRAM allocations, also to be sure the game is not using integrated GPU and sharing RAM and VRAM. In GPU driver settings you can select default GPU, or in Windows Control panel completely disable integrated GPU.

All in all i don't see Factorio cross 1GB RAM usage myself, and i've been to Vulcanus and Fulgora on this save. And i play on maxed graphics settings.

Seems to be using the correct GPU, my Dedicated one.

Here is my performance tab info and whatnot.

Those look healthy i guess. F5 details ingame?

How large is your blueprint library? That has historically been a huge RAM hog for players who love to store tons of stuff in it.

Less then 20ish

This is the log I have for when trying to join larger maps...

I note some differences between your settings and mine. You are limiting capabilities of your GPU with them.

What i have:
0.604 Graphics settings preset: very-high
0.604 Dedicated video memory size 7957 MB
0.677 Desktop composition is active.
0.677 Graphics options: [Graphics quality: high] [Video memory usage: all] [DXT: high-quality]
0.677 [Max threads (load/render): 32/4] [Max texture size: 0] [Tex.Stream.: false] [Rotation quality: normal] [Other: sTDCWT] [B:0,C:0,S:100]

And yours:
0.529 Graphics settings preset: very-high
0.529 Dedicated video memory size 16172 MB (detected from AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT; VendorID: 0x1002; DeviceID: 0x747e)
0.631 Desktop composition is active.
0.631 Graphics options: [Graphics quality: high] [Video memory usage: high] [DXT: high-quality]
0.631 [Max threads (load/render): 32/12] [Max texture size: 8192] [Tex.Stream.: true] [Rotation quality: normal] [Other: STDCWT] [B:0,C:0,S:100]

I don't know effect of texture streaming, maybe yours is supposed to be even more memory efficient. Or maybe it's not, in any case i don't have the problem with it off for now.

Your multiplayer was constantly running out of memory. I don't know if it's related (probably not) but also make sure you have several gigabytes free on all your harddrives/SSD's.

All my drives have like 90+GB free, as for the memory running out when loading the map, im unsure as to why its having issues.

Also now ram is at 3.2GB usage, which is far better...
