Memory use changes with latest version (as of Wed Nov 24th)?

[Coach3K]

Just curious....Monday I got online and was able to get 3 instances running. First would get me down to about 45% system RAM left, loading in 2nd would get me to around 25%, and 3rd would leave me around 8% System RAM.

After running the most recent version, with no changes to my EQ settings at all, and same programs disabled/turned off, the second window ALONE is taking me down to 1/2/3% system RAM remaining.

Another thing I'm noticing is what must be a memory leak of some kind. I'll get into the game with that low RAM remaining, and over the course of 10-15 minutes, I notice the "Available RAM" creep upward as far as 500MB. I didn't actually notice this until crashing a few times.

Just curious if memory usage was changed at all in the most recent release, or if anyone else noticed similar memory usage changes over the last few days.

Oh - EQ1 by the way. Thanks.

It wasnt changed at all. There are some memory leaks in EQ, perhaps there's a specific zone that's problematic? I will check though
