like 1-2 months ago i was able to play war thunder while using Firefox + Discord or multiple apps at once.
Now since last update if i have something else besides war thunder opened it freezes, i have fps drops and for some reason war thunder eats lot of my ram, i have 16GB ram, 2gbs assigned to the integrated gpu so 14gbs left, but for some reason even afte watching how it consumes 7-8gbs it mostly says 90% of ram in use and all that. something isnt right here
Yeah that is weird for me it only uses 2.5gb of ram max you play on ulq?
i play on custom settings but its more aproximated to Medium ones, lot of things are low, idk why my pc says it is consuming 90% of ram, if war thunder is consuming 8GBs there should be 6GBs left, i dont know whats happening here
2000 windows application each consuming a small amount adds up a lot
mm yeah i guess :/ anyways, i hope they fix these problems we having with the firebirds update
Speaking of browser, my task manager literally says “Google Chrome (16)” when I only has one tab opened lol it consumed 1gb
When I had 16gb RAM, clean fresh windows itself used 1.5-2.5 gb
I have 32gb now, WT uses 11-12gb from it.
did this get fixed for you?
nope, it stills consumes a lot of ram
I max out all of my RAM i got 16gb ddr5 5600, with 1080p full max graphs + max rt and i get visual artifacts after 5th game (noticed i only get when the ram gets 99%+ usage
Just disable RT and close backgrounds apps
got spotify as a background app, game uses only 4 gb of RAM during first match then starts leaking if i get the “city map” or “moscow”, closing raytracing should NOT be the only fix. Whats the point of having to turn off a feature that you payed for just because devs didnt make something right.
i never have this issue idk what youre talking about /s
is using like 10gb tho which is crazy
war thunder using 10gb is crazy much, for me ram keeps usage on warthunder keeps increasing game after game until it reaches 99% then i get stutters. Disabled rt and i got only 400mb left of ram out of 16 lmao, 100% memory leak
im glad i gave a stupidly unneccesary amount of ram (until you do video editing, then its never enough) to just ignore memory leaks. its crazy how frequent software leaks are and how hardware is just expected to pick up the slack for such poor optimisations
Yeah that’s exactly the same for VRAM, starting at 3.5gb and after a few games it’s close to 8gb
didnt notice any problems for vram yet, prolly cause i got 12gb… i hope they fix vram and ram leaks… i made a report Community Bug Reporting System
12 GB is plenty enough for this game, but 8 GB can struggle, also a “bug report” for it was made about a year ago, several people had this issue but none got an answer…
Idk at which resolution you are playing but I can only recommend using some kind of upscaler (FSR 4, DLSS 4 preset K), and try lowering some settings like shadows/effects resolution.
If you have an NVIDIA GPU I also recommend you disable the in-game filter and overlay in the NVIDIA app (which eats around 500mb of RAM/VRAM) + disable the maximum possible “start with Windows” applications.
Weird thing is that I have 32 GB of RAM and even after a long session it never comes close to the 16 GB usage (full system usage not just the game) playing at 1440p native resolution with full maxed out settings (except RT)
Just a little question but what’s your RAM usage at idle (just after a boot)??
6.7gb ram usage idle after all apps are opened (chrome,discord,steam etc.)
when using full rt (max rt distance as well) vram does not even get past 9gb and i run the game on full graphs + max rt at 140 on 1920x1080, the fact that the memory leak makes it unplayable is funny (forgot to mention i dont even use upscaling), also even if i close discord and other background apps, warthunder keeps chuggin the free memory until i get stutters/freezes and i crash lmao
