Optimizing RAM when playing PR

[[R-DEV]AfterDune]

If it gives you some lag here and there, because the textures are unloaded, it's best to do it on map ends or so, I don't know. I haven't seen a real increase of performance I think, but just noticed the amount of RAM used and how it *could*maybe*possibly*perhaps* solve some issues for those with memory problems.

But since i got a new system everything works fine, at least as far as i have tested.

that's funny, i did the same before i go a better gpu, and it worked for me. from super laggy to super smooth with alt+tab - and no installation required!

I've had no memory problems since I installed enough (and then some) RAM to my machine.

You might be right on this. When there are large explosions around me, my screen sometimes starts fluttering. ALT-TAB to desktop and back clears it up nicely. Does this sound the same?


EDIT: shootmeplz, I don't think I was lagging (though it's possible I was)--things still appeared to be going at a good fps. I just couldn't see the frames clearly. It was a little like an old tv with a flickering screen.

I'll give the program a test later.

Iv been using a program called 'Advanced System Care Pro' since .9 came out and has the RAM optimizing program with it,

before i used that program at all i was on <15 fps now im around 40+ on most maps

I have 2gb ram, and i desided to try this program, i download install, start PR join a map it was Asad Khal - had a nice round, there might of been a slight increase in FPS, then next map is Kashan desert i play for 20 min then the attack helos spawn, i happen to be in the main base that time and my fps drops to 20-25 for 30secs, then to normal again, we take a tank and wander in the desert for 15-20min then get killed so i respawned at the main base and the fps was like 1frame per 30-40 secs, 1-2(only saw 2-3 frames) min later i got kicked PB-hartbeats stopped.

-> Only use program at end of rounds to prevent mid-game-freezes.

Indeed. Can have too much RAM on a computer.

I just suffered some CTD on Al Basrah last night due to the RPG cages on the British trucks (first time using them in .9) so maybe this will help me (at 2GB)

To the OP: does that screenshot imply that this program also fixes the gluttonous FireFox issue? I've got two FF windows open, 2-3 tabs each and it's reporting over 1.2GB RAM in use!!
