Memory Usage?
 

I'm just wondering why Graal takes up more memory than World of Warcraft while I'm in stormwind. Is there anyway to fix this, I have all effects turned off. Any ideas or suggestions?

Can you please post some information about your computer and how much memory Graal is taking up? (Operating system and version - Windows/Mac OS X, memory, CPU, graphics card model)

I wouldn't be too sure about this. Where are you checking the WoW memory usage?

Windows Process Manager

Hm, well, that thing should be alright, yea. Weird.

Normally you can run Graal for weeks and still stay below 60 MByte. The only memory problem that I know of is with some bugged sound card drivers, you could try to disable that to check if it's better?

Usually doesn't work because that conflicts with Windows :p Only a few people run Graal on Mac or Linux.

How does it conflict with Windows? I can go weeks without having to restart my computer if I wanted to.

Only if you turn off the automatic updater I guess

The new SP3 feature is to generate a random bluescreen every 26 hours.

I was working late at night, playing graal, when

Is it really random if it's every 26 hours? :P

Other people have reported similar things when running (the old version of) Graal on Intel Mac with Rosetta for a long time, should be fixed with the next version when it doesn't run in a CPU emulator anymore :)

Yes, it hasn't done that since I've been using the Intel version you gave me with the external windows.

Every 26 hours, random error code.

Graal uses about 500k of ram whenever it's running on my laptop. I think it's because when you add up all the people playing the number rises for each one, because every person is contributing a little bit of information, whether through pms or conversations on screen. We can all learn something from them, so pay attention.

Hmmm we were making some tests, with a client streaming video (on Zone etc.) for more than 3 weeks and it was taking around 50 Mbyte. If it's taking much more then there must be a problem with a driver or may be some special bug only happening on some servers. If you can reproduce some memory leak it would be interesting to tell me :)

Clebstein?!

I decided to do my own tests, which involved launching 30,000 projectiles at once, each with a rotating GANI.

O.o Chris.. lol xD

Well, I always find that particle effects with a high number of particles and many modifiers can lag alittle :o

So do a test with 30,000 projectiles with a gani doing a particle effect + a script along side with it :p

That's a big test :o

Or you could try a loop to around 1 million.. mhm
