Do you really need 12-32GB Ram to play?
My laptop has 8GB of ram. But it meets the other Min specs to run it.

I have a 16GB and play on very low (maybe I can go higher but meh) and I have no issue, 8GB seems pretty low, nowadays having 16GB will be a minimum in a few years so 8GB isn't the very minimum for some games, since it's on EA the optimization isn't great, I'll say you'll have trouble running the game but honestly try and if it doesn't work then refund.

I'll wait for a few updates before buying it. Thank you

Hello everyone, I'm sorry to bother you, but since the update I can't join a multiplayer game. Can anyone help me ? knowing that I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game?

Yeah I think it might be due to a early access ram memory leak. (12-18 gb. +1 gb ram a hour).

Most games tend to have more optimized ram usage later in development as they optimize and fix leaks.

Thankfully if you happen to have a ram slot and can open a computer without caveman ripping apart delicate wires or motherboards, ram can technically be one of the easiest upgrades to do (compared to installing a blank ssd/hhd -> windows boot USB/CD or a soldiered on laptop gpu)

It can literally be a open pc carefully, ground yourself on metal so no static shock, find comparable ram with your motherboard/slots.

Buy a stick off amazon/newegg and run a search on your pc brand /command prompt to make sure it's compatible (ddr5 isn't comparable with ddr4 and vice aversa, ditto with laptop sized mini chips vs desktop 4x bigger chips, and sticks over 16-64 gb are often motherboard dependent)

If everything works out though. It's a unscrew pc/laptop (turned off ofc). Avoid damaging any parts/wires (Don't "THOK HATE KEYBOARD! THOK BREAK KEYBOARD! THOK COMPUTER NO TURN ON!"

You slide a ram chip. Keep the old one in case. Check comparability and boot up.

If you do everything right, (aka don't break your computer ripping screws and wires out). Its a click and add and 32 gb of dd4/5 ram for instance can often be found for 60-80$ or even part zombie reused.

Meanwhile store computers often charge up to 1500-2500$ for a 12 gb ram Intel iris is (5-20x slower than a 3060/4090, but 14-40 fps functional) card.

The game itself could probably benefit a lot from ram optimization though. And even though I did 64 gb ddr5. I think I've only ever passed 20 gb twice. On unoptimized kobold ai text ai.(now optimized 20 gb to 4.6 GB ram.)

And having a 12 gb to 18 gb palworld memory leak on far render distance playing for 6 hours.

And/or trying to play four games at once like runescape + Hearthstone + palworld + afk game + sitting in a auction house in guild wars 2/WoW merching.

Unless you're playing four games at once or memory leaking pal world, dipping up to 17 gb is possible but I've never used all 64/64 gb unless you planned to be a video editor.

Ruke, im not sure about in game but my dedicated server leak is way slower now. It'd run right up to 9 then tap on ten awhile, currently at 5.5 after an hour .

I have a labtop

Same concept for upgrading laptop ram, open it up, replace the sticks. Laptops usually use sodimms rather than full size sticks though. Check with manufacturer for the speeds, generation of ram and number of slots.

Though, considering you only have 8gb of ram in the pc, it is unlikely to have adequate other components to run the game unless it was a really weirdly balanced system.

My laptop can run games like persona 3 reload, and like a dragon. So im pretty happy with it. Whenever i have the money, i'll upgrade

Over time, they'll probably optimize it, which would help.

Otherwise, yeah you'll need at least 16GB of RAM to handle it.
Xaelon Feb 28, 2024 @ 6:07pm 
There have been a few threads about this and the general consensus is that 32GB is recommended if you plan to run a server with a bunch of people on it.

If you're just playing solo or with a few friends you should be good with around 16 gb.

You do have 2 hours to refund the game though. Give it a test derive and see.

8gb is enough

Wise man. Don't let other hype influence your gaming choice. Golden rule for any EA game. Some will enjoy it, some not and a lot hate it. It's all on them for buying and trying an EA game.

I just wanna play it safe. Don't wanna risk wasting my money lol.

Mine kept crashing so I upgraded my RAM and haven't had a problem since. I've been wanting to upgrade for a while anyway

when the game recommends 32, with a minimum of 16GB , and you show up with 8GB., that's not "playing it safe"
