Some way to assign more RAM to the game

[Praise The Sun \[T]/]

It gives me the feeling that it is capped at 2gb, at least in my case and it starts to slow down

It shouldn't be limited to 2GB, and in a similar thread earlier today where a poster was worried about the same thing, that poster ended up seeing 3.2GB assigned.

I checked it a few times and always is less than 2gb. Im getting 29(28) fps with 64% memory and 13%CPU usage

Mine (over linux/proton) is using about 4.5 gb atm

That may be all it needs. The only reason that other person got it so high was attempting to generate a 1000 year world gen.

Likely it is the CPU throttling everything down trying to simulate some part of the game.

ONly 16% of CPU is in usage

Is that 16% of your total system CPU? Because the game is limited (mostly) to one thread, so it will never by able to max all your cores, meaning the system itself will never max out total CPU usage.

If you have a 6 core system, that would be about maxing 1 core.

Probably that's the problem, thanks

any way to use more than 1 core on DF? ahahah

I assigned realtime priority. but nothing changes :S

very painful

Somewhere in the wiki strongly advises against giving DF realtime priority, you should assign the second highest one (forgot the name, not a windows user).

search for "realtime" in this page https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Maximizing_framerate

Done, thanks

Game is single core so its probably maxed out on one core but not using any others.

Tested here with DF running my workshop level on one monitor and htop (linux util) on the other. Yes, it max out one core (actually it oscillates between 50 and 100%, staying most of the time around 90-ish). Funny thing is that it alternates using all cores, just one at once.
