500+ meg ram usage per eq instance?

Post by darkstryke » Thu Oct 28, 2004 12:56 am

Running at 1024x768, low textures, only vah'sir female luclin model on. No vertex, pixiel, shadows, new water. No sky, no luclin animations, mip mapping, texture caching on, basically EVERYTHING on as low as I can go and my eq instances are still hogging upwards of 500 megs each. I read they should only pull about half of that max with what I have enabled, any idea what the problem is?

They pull 283MB *minimum* and there is a memory leak in EQ. If you go from character select to server select to character select, for example, you lose 20mb to 40mb. I'm told there's also a leak upon zoning, but I have not tried to confirm it.
