Why is POE RAM usage constantly grows while playing?
" game shouldnt grow to that size very quickly, normally it takes about 100 ish maps for my game to hit 6 gbs. It sounds like it could be some defective hardware, or some background program if you need to restart every 20-30 mins. it grows because it is preloading more and more assets to reduce overall freezes during some encounters. Typically i have chrome taking up more ram then poe as the memory leak in chrom is substantial. I have created this file on my computer which helps remove some of the issue. https://medicine.arizona.edu/helpdesk-article/clear-memory-cache-windows-7 |

Same here, never seen 6 GB memory usage. Typically changing between 2.4 and 3 GB for me.
P.S.: Not using garbage collection. Dernière édition par signonthe#6518, le 21 mars 2019 à 09:58:00

I don't mind PoE eating my RAM to cache assets if that improves lag induced by disk accesses.
By the way, is there a documentation with command line options somewhere? I suspect MTX are worsening the RAM usage. I wish there was an option to not load them in town (MTX for party members are OK). |

In Betrayal league my PoE client was leaking like a sieve when I was using Icestorm+Spell Cascade. Especially in abysses, that was just ridiculous. Now that SC is broken I didn't see that warning about PoE gobbling up all available memory even once. But looks like SC is being fixed in the next patch, so... we'll see.

I've been also experiencing this recently .... mcuh much more than before it is was ever significant before.
SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

"OK, Spell Cascade is back, and with it, memory bloat. Seems like about once 1.5-2 hours I have to restart client. Have 8Gb RAM just like OP. The thing is, it *never* happens if I do not use SC. |

" Same. On zone changing after hours of gameplay, client just... crashes I guess? There is no error, it just shuts down as if Alt+F4. I think it's not a bug, but a thematic feature. We have to help Cavas fix the memory leak in the client, guys. Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.
Lay your portal gem to rest, don't you die no more. 'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this league. Try to make maps meet, you're a slave to the meta, then you leave. |

" lulz, didn't think about that one ! SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.
| |
" Same for me. Once in a while PoE just closes without any error or message. |

Yeah it's messed up... after an hour of play PoE is taking like 7+ gb of RAM. I have a thread about it too. Memory leaks... or memory not unloading to open up RAM. Basically you need to restart the game sometimes... which is not a sign of a good quality software product.
