RAM and disk usage

[Jamarius Quindleberry]

How come this game almost every single match skyrockets my Ram usage to 99% (I have 16 gigs and the game uses about 9 which is ridiculous in itself)

Though these "peaks" are usually followed by my SSD being at 100% usage usually around 200Mb/s

Why does that happen, how do I fix that problem?

mee too bro i have the game in M.2 500gb and ram 16gb, the game stutering constant

[Streylok]

you guys need a new computer stop playing on toasters i dont have any issue 300 fps average

The game does say it needs 16gb of RAM. Not letting Windows have 9gb all on its own then leaving 7 for the game. If you're hitting high usage on your SSD, that's due to something called Virtual Memory being used. It's what happens when you don't have enough RAM. Windows starts to use your hard drive as RAM to store files it needs temporarily.

In short, it's a RAM shortage. Get more RAM.

Uh, not an issue Ram especially 32 gigs isn't as expensive as it used to be, though the issue being, is there a way to negate that effect?
By Reducing some effects for an instance or something?

Mine is 8gb. and its a laptop. thankfully no problem. constantly running 80-100 fps

the game needs 16gb of ram ...just because you have 16gb installed that doesnt actually mean that you will have the full 16gb to use for gaming ... sounds like you need a ram upgrade

Bad take
The list of specs is calculated based on an average device
I doubt people coming up with specs are like "No, no 16 Gigs are JUST for the game so get 32 gigs"
The game does run at 16 gigs, it really is poorly optimized, though a ram upgrade ain't that much of a stretch anyway

no when they say minimum spec is 16gb it means that after windows usage etc. you need 16gb of free ram ...do people actually go waste money on games that say min 16gb when thats all they have in the whole system 16gb ???

Then how do you explain my PC being able to run most AAA game of the current year with no problems on high settings when most if not all require 16 gigs

The min spec on store page are for PC system, like 2x8GB RAM, and not the free memory after loading Windows.

That being said this game can easily use more than 16GB of memory. Those specs on store page are usualy for min and medium settings like 1080p low@30fps and 1080 medium@60fps.

Your SSD usage is probably when Windows ties to regain some free memory, it puts part of 'memory' of unused apps to SSD, so that game has more. Google up pagefile / swapfile in Windows.

Honestly, I changed a few options to reduce the graphic quality, and managed to have these small "crash" happen a lot less often, they happen like once every 3 full matches more or less, and I'm still playing on Medium / High at a solid 90 / 120FPS at 1080p

So It'll do until I upgrade my ram
Thanks for the advice, didn't know much about memory virtualization

[Sum Dude]

Wait are the stuttering issues related to memory virtualization or is it just the reason why the game is running with high RAM usage. I also have 16 GB RAM and I have crazy stuttering issues in this game specifically

[Applesmacked]

game uses over 14gb, if you are 16 expect issues

Took this one in action, I have 64gb but yea

(I have 0 performance issues)

Lowering your graphics quality is the main way to reduce RAM usage. High quality textures use up more gigabytes of RAM than low quality textures do. So reducing your texture quality will reduce your RAM usage.
