Reduce RAM usage
I've got a good enough setup to run this game, except for my RAM. Apparently 8GB isn't enough (I really don't understand why), especially on MP. What settings should I reduce to minimize affects on quality (I'm currently playing at highest with motion blur off) and reduce RAM usage?

8 GB is probably the lowest you can hope to get by with but barely...If you are hosting a MP game I wouldnt even try it with 8- Probably more like 16 .

That aside, this is still alpha and once its optomized I would bet 8 will be just fine.

-Restart your game occasionally as well- There used to be a memory leak and I'm not sure if its been fixed or not but that might help.

8gig is a lot more than you need for up to even 40 people. One of our gaming servers has only 16 gig with dual 3.6 gig processors, and we host over 600 players online at one time. (not 7 days to die) but an equally intensive data draw. You also have to remember you're playing the game on your own server, the client you run hogs up what 2 gigs of ram and at least 256mb GPU at all times. You need to host the server on a computer that's clean with nothing else on it.

Well, hopefully it does go down with updates. I just expected better performance after so many years of being in alpha -_-
CPU and GPU usage aren't even close to being problems, generally staying at around 60%
So no way to reduce just RAM usage?

yeah actually there was a trick to get a little better perfomance by forcing true fullscreen (works in most unity games) but let me see if I can get the command.

edit- Alright dude, I'm not 100% this is it or not but when I used to run on my old laptop I could get far better performance all around by going into properties, then 'set launch options' and add this

-window-mode exclusive

Exactly like the above- I'm not positive thats the command I was using but I think it is- Hopefully it helps.

Lower your texture settings, and various other settings to reduce RAM usage. Also silence any non essential programs running behind the game. Consider sooner than later 16GB will be the PC gaming norm as we move into the 4K era. Adjust your expectations accordingly. Optimization will improve things once the game is in beta, however the very nature of this game means it will still require more RAM than the average game does.

Also the more players in a game the more RAM will be used. Which is why only 8 players per map is officially supported.

Sorry, but 8GB not required. I've been using 4GB for the last 4000 hours of game time.

Answer is exactly what you think it is; lower your graphics settings.

I also played it on my beginnings (alpha 14) allways with 4 gb RAM (Linux, Q9400, gtx 650)
worked well. Now Im on 12 GB in my DesktopPC and im hosting local Multiplayer for 2 Players (and me).
I also use a dedicated Server in my LAN with Win7 and only 4 GB RAM for 4 Player.
Workes like a charm.
Easyest way to reduce RAM is to set the textures to half or even lesser. Looks a bit creepy but worked for me in the past.

Wouldn't hurt to do some PM on your rig if you game on it a lot.

(Ditch any unused apps that might have startup processes running in the background, etc)

Also research "windows clean boot" if you want to do some tweaking.

I dont know man....

I know the minimum is now up to 6 GB and recommended minimum is 12.

With 4GB ram and a gtx650 you would probably be having to run in 600x800 and 1/4 textures along with everything set to lowest to achieve a solid 20 fps...

I mean, maybe you had the magical setup that something like that worked on (it happens) but I wouldnt expect its going to work for most.

I initially started playing this game with 4GB ram way back in the day and I think that was the min at the time- But you need quite a bit more than that now unless you want to run in 600x800 or something....At least for most.

@SaintPhillip - in these days the minimum were officially 4 GB I think. And you're the right:
I played with Resolution 1280x864 i remember. Textures not full. But it worked & I had much fun.

Now Im on an i5-4690 with 12GB and GTX 750TI and play with 1680x1050 with full size textures.
Looks better now, but as you know > even with a GTX 1080 the game may stutter if you're on a minibike with an engine > 500... This is not a hardware but a game-problem. AANd : if you play with 3 frinds, all on minibikes in different biomes... it will stutter even more. You can fall in a yet rendered hole in the world if your minibike is too fast... (I didn't until now ;)

and last but not least - im not playing in windows. my clean system uses about 400 MB Ram after the start. (But there are other drawbacks).

@OP disable EAC and uncheck in game voice chat, both are known for causing problems but expect no miracles

Solved - Reducing tree quality from ultra to high did the trick. With no other changes, RAM usage dropped by about 1.5GB instantly.

Nice.

Good research there.

For me, it dropped when I started the game in fullscreen. Used to be borderless and 16GB wasn't enough.

This thread is pretty old, and much of the info is likely out of date. I'll be locking this.
