game eat too more RAM and crash

[Rafcio_3D]

I have 16GB RAM and game eat 13GB, randomly times game crashed and close. I play on medium settings, low shadows, wather and render distance.
I have plenty of computing power and it still crashes.
Chipset and graphics drivers are updated to the latest stable version.
No programs are running in the background when i play.

PC:
Ryzen 5 5600X
Asus RX 6600 8GB
Kingston Fury 2x8GB
Drive SSD

same issue, I wish they can fix it on the next update

Do you have XMP enabled on your memory? What is the advertised speed of your RAM?

The game is a little heavy on CPU, and even heavier on memory if you run high display resolution (1440p, 4k) with high to max texture settings. View distance also adds a bit of weight to the memory (video and system) usage.

The game will only start making use of extra system memory if you're over extending the video memory capacity of your GPU. OR you have a bad / low quality ram kit and it's just not performing well.

Keep in mind that Windows will use 3 to 4GB of system memory minimum. Discord can add 300-1000MB to that, and if you have a web browser open, you can easily push yourself to using 8GB of your system memory alone there. So make sure you aren't running any extra software and background apps. This really doesn't leave you a whole lot of room on 8GB or 16GB system RAM setups for running games, which now-a-days, most modern games need 6 to 10GB of system RAM allocated to it itself. Again, needs more memory if you're over extending your GPU's video memory capacity.

Yes i have enable XMP profile, frequency of RAM is 3200MHz. When i play, game use 6.4GB GPU memory. Display resolution is 1680x1050

Sounds about right to me for memory usage.

As for the crashes...
If you manually set the FCLK you can set it back to AUTO or you can set it to 1600 as that's gonna be the most effective FCLK for your memory.

i have 32gb ram and randomly crash, and after reading this is suddenly remembered that i have xmp on, and not just ordinary xmp but something called xmp enchanted or something like that, i think i will try to disable my xmp or put it to xmp (normal) to se if that helps the crashes.

Yea my next suggestion would be to disable XMP altogether and then manually enter in the XMP settings for the memory overclock. If the crashes keep happening, set the CL timing up one value (so if it's CL16 for example, change it to CL18).

Downclocking your RAM or straying away from settings that historically worked fine would only be a superficial and bandaid solution. This game is likely pushing your components in a way they have not yet been stressed before and has revealed a hardware fault.

When it comes to ram it can be fairly difficult to find the offending piece. If I were in your shoes I'd just replace the whole lot of them and jump to 32gb, 16 is really not enough these days. Check our Corsair if you go this route over Kingston, they tend to be at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to reliability.

I don't think it's caused by the game eating too much RAM.
I've got 32 GB RAM and the overall RAM usage when playing SoTF + having Firefox running in the background Is about 14gb.
I also haven't experienced a single chrash yet.

Therfore you should still be fine with your 16 in terms of RAM usage.
Given that your RAM is suitable for 3200 Mhz, this should be fine as well.

So either it's caused by other programs running in the background or maybe your GPU doesn't like the game.

I turned off XMP and set it to 3000MHz 16CL, the game works, but over time it eats more and more RAM until finally it is not enough...

Maybe you're bulding to large?
Recommended RAM amount is 24 GB. so if you're below that you might want to be a bit modest regarding your base.

If you haven't done so already, maybe look into undervolting your 5600X?

What you did describe sounds like memory leak, but AFAIK there's no known memory leak issue with the game, so you probably have something else running that's been causing the memory leak. OR maybe you're just building too much in-game and it's causing an increase in the memory utilization. I do know the game can improve memory performance still, but it's not that bad that it should be causing your system to eat up the full 32GB of memory.

That shouldn be an issue by default, but depending on the stuff that's running in the backgroud (p.e. Internetbrowser with tons of tabs opened, iCUE, Geforce Experience, afterburner etc...) this might become an issue.

[kgkong]

Err yea my comment stands still with 16GB with this game though. He shouldn't be consuming more than 10GB of system memory for the game specifically. Unless he's actually running a high ass resolution which doesn't seem to be the case. Something else is plaguing the computer to be inefficient with memory.

I wish I could build more...

CPU running on default config.

There is no application running in the background, only game and steam services.

My resolution is 1680x1050...


A friend has the cracked game installed on a much weaker pc. He has 8GB RAM, 5 1600X, gtx1060, HDD drive and FHD res. He have FPS drops, but it doesn't crash the game, why?

What are you talking about?

Recommended ram is 16 gb and that means your system has to have that. Its nost just for the games? When a game says that, thats hwat your whole system requires.

Ram is an illusion. Games always eat ram and it differentiates on amount of ram you have.
