Just Cause 3 LOW MEMORY
Been Playing Just Cause 3 now for 42hrs, now all of a sudden. After the load titles and before continue button is pressed I get the message LOW Memory. I changed nothing And Have A Nvidia 970. 8gig. AMD FX8350 8Core 4.GHz processor. Also is any body from steam reading these forums because no one seems to be getting answers?

Why would Steam (Valve) read forums for a game they have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH?

HA so not everybody are bots then. Loads of people have the same problem as the one i posted AND NOBODY SEEMS TO COMMENT. And the game seems to run a lot better without STEAM running. So I see you are'nt helpfull eather.

1) Valve did not make Just Cause 3.
2) Buy and add more RAM, or use MSCONFIG and SERVICES.MSC to stop loading so much junkware.

I'm not loading a bunch of junkware and with 20+ years experience in IT, I can definitely say that my Alienware laptop is fine-tuned. I also received that same message directly after waiting on Steam to load an update to Just Cause 3. Before the update, no message. After the update, low memory message.

There is no reason for a system with 8 GBs of memory to receive a low memory error. I have even watched the Windows 10 Task Manager Performance tab before, during and after loading of Just Cause 3 and it is definitely that particular game.

I understand that this is Just Cause 3, but I am simply responding to let those who are experiencing this issue that they are neither alone, stupid or being overrun by junkware. Even so, there's no reason why Steam cannot communicate performance issues to their game vendors, as it seems to me their "voice" would be the loudest.

Ok upgraded my mem to 32 gig, and guess what. yep still getting the warning. So after paying £40+ for a game then upgrading memory £70+. still can't play this game properly. And i was going to download the addons glad i did'nt. Thinking of asking for a refund. But that probebly never happen. ah well see what the next updat brings. will only run on a £100000 PC. ??????? Only JOKING or i'm I .?

The warning and the bug most of us are facing is not because they upped anything for 16 gig ram. With the recent DLC they have made the ram leak issue worse and when you boot the game up, it's going supernova.

The solution isn't for everyone to run out and buy more ram. The solution is for them to fix the game.

I've uninstalled for now, and it's staying that way until I hear more.

There is no memory leak. If there was a memory leak it would affect a majority of the players, not just you and 3 other guys.

RAM is different from hard drive space.
Do you have 8GB of RAM? If so, this is likely the cause of the message you are receiving.

For some people it runs ok on 8GB. For others not so.

YOU AGAIN.

GO OUTSIDE AND MEET PEOPLE FAN BOY GO! This game always has had a memory leak. It was proven upon release, stated by streamers, and hasn't ever been properly fixed. I know this as I was posting here from day 1, the moment it dropped.

It's always ran fine for me on 8 gig ram, but my ram was expensive when I brought it, and I use third party programs to keep its usage optimal. Especially when I'm playing this game.

Maybe its your third party programs that are the problem then.
If you only have 8GB of RAM its more than likely your issues stem from the services/apps you have running in the background.
Its well known JC3 is a memory hog and can use ~7GB of RAM at any time; a lack of RAM on your part does not a memory leak make.

I prepurchased in November 2015 mate, so i've been here since day one also(like that has any relevance to this discussion at all).
