Alpha 10 experimental

worked fine yesterday - now unloadable...windows 7 16gb memory i7 core - and latest nvidea drivers (430.64) on a gtx 970...memory consumption more than doubled and can go as high as 13 GB on load independent of option settings...game eventually loads but unplayable....freeze frame...with memory usage remaining at 10-13 GB. Same issue when generating a new game...seems to use all available memory crawls along until complete and then eventually loads after many minutes but in freeze frame mode and memory usage as outlined above.

 

Have you tried to verify game files? Memory usage should be down for a10 exp as after an hour of playing mine sat at 3.5gb only

No custom configuration being used?

 

All verified correct - did an uninstall and reinstall on a different drive - same story. This is typical but memory usage on my system can run to 13 GB which is basically everything available. CPU usage remains at 97-99% and memory usage is stuck that high...

I tried custom difficulty on this with reduced food consumption on a new game...as well as generic with no changes...medium or large planet is the same....uses all available memory and CPU.

Standard game generation attached...no custom settings...loading an pre-existing game generated under alpha 10 is the same story. Game will eventually load or new system generation will eventually complete but only with incredible memory usage and game is basically freeze frame and unplayable.

 

How about disabling those 10 or more Google Chromes that are running ? Google likes it to sneak in and send info back to "Papa".

To your engine
I run a Win 8.1, 16GB RAM, GTX 780 at full "best" Graphic solution and come barely above 7GB even after playing 5 hours.
And Win 8.1 is much worse to Win 7

 

I killed google completely...no change... that's not it..

 

Just tried a completely standard new game generation...everything killed except steam and the game...memory usage less than 16%. Same story...game starts at around 5 Gb...click to generate a new standard survival game...CPU jumps to 99% and memory to 10 GB or over...and stays there...when the game finally comes around its freeze frame mode...unplayable...and memory stays in the 10-13 gb range and CPU at 99%. Smells like a memory leak to me... again this is on a windows 7 I7 16 GB system with a GTX 970 and the latest driver (430.64)

 

As I'am also on win 7 Service pack 1 and a GTX 970, driver version 416.34, i tried to verify this. Processor is an AMD Phenom II X4 965 at 3.4 GHz and 12 GB of physical RAM.
No custom config.ecf

Game startup:


Newly created game:

back to mainmenu:


So the memory usage is higher as the mentioned 3.5 gb by SilvRav, almost as high as Scotsman observed. CPU on the other side is completly fine on my side. Could'nt observe a Freeze frame mode, tend to say it is well playable on my end...

 

Love the new feature set but if it renders a game that was playing fine with no issues unplayable, then its obvious something was missed in Q&A. Reading some test posts it seems like the update is was tested primarily on windows 8? I would humble suggest it would be a good idea to keep a reference machine handy for test on each flavor of windows to confirm you haven't created an exe that will only run on the variants you tested. The game had that problem previously with windows 10. For now that means 7,8, and 10 unfortunately...its that or settle on 10 and leave everyone else in the dust and force an upgrade to ten in favor of resource usage.

You could also insure you have all flavors of windows available in the QA test group.

This isn't an environment issue...its something with the exe for sure.

 

Iam testing things on windows 10 some others are too. Were running all kinds of machines

 

windows 7?

 

I'm also running Win7.

I started EGS, and it peaked at 8G when I started a new game.

Didn't try playing it, but my PC might blink a few times at 8G, but shouldn't care (but other's might).

 

I wouldn't care if it was playable...my favorite steam game...but running all theway to 13 Gb says there is a problem with the exe or in the way the exe is doing things with the video card. Are the others experiencing this also on nvidea cards...particularly GTX?

 

Nope to NVIDIA, Game is running on a GTX 780M. Sure it takes 7GB RAM but no other issues.

 

Resource use while in game

 

Just did a memory check on a Win7Pro sp1 machine, using A10 b2450. Values below are for the .exe only, do not include Steam or the UnityCrashLogHelperThingy. Intel i7 [email protected]
Start game (.exe), wait for main menu. Ramps from 0gb usage to 3.42 gb
Load existing gamesave, ramps from 3.42 gb to 6.1 gb at time of playload.
During gameplay (over an hour of time), hovers between 7-8 gb usage.

 

logfile - some libs not found and this was on a clean reinstall of Alpha 10 on the existing steam directory ...notice that this is with DirectX11 installed...planet generation runs fine but memory explodes as structures begins. When game begins memory used is 12-13gb and I can hear sound etc but its freeze frame video.

Not able to reproduce this either on build 2450. I'm using Best settings, but with Shadows, Antialiasing and SSAO turned down a notch (full texture resolution). I'm running Windows 10. Graphics card is a GTX 970 (factory overclocked) with Game Ready drivers version 419.67, but also updated to latest 430.64 for testing this (I'm a bit lazy with keeping my drivers updated ). CPU/RAM is an i3-6100 and 24GB. CPU usage never goes above 65% no matter what it's doing and is often well below this. On an existing game, RAM usage peaks at ~7.5GB (although it spends more time below 7GB). Starting a new game, it peaks to a little over 5GB by the time the playfield loads. I even tried the same seed as in the last log you posted, and that didn't make any difference.

Any other games (especially Unity ones) you can test to see if the memory usage is higher than it should be? Does the issue happen on the stable branch (9.x)? Have you tried a clean reinstall of your Game Ready drivers?
