    Ok so i have been running a dedicated server for over 13 months no issues with memory usage or nothing . Now since the latest 1.5 and Reforged 1.5 i am now having random crashes do to hi memory usage so i had to upgrade my server 3 times now . Currently its running at 16 gigs now and with 7 players online it runs around 11-12 gigs of memory . Now this was never an issue before 1.5 came out and nothing has changed other than redoing the server to play 1.5 .

    Again we ran Reforged Eden in the past no issues but since 1.5 now we use 2 times the memory on the server . Anyone have suggestions or ideas why this is or how i can lower the memory usage ?



    thanks

    I think reforged is just going to use more memory in 1.5 now compared to vanilla. Probably nothing you can do to lower this except to double check your DSL settings and make sure those aren't set higher than the default of 1200 for planets and 3000 for space.
    16gb is actually rather low for a 7 player server, but memory usage will vary considerably based on how many active playfields there are and what is in them. I think the recommended amount for vanilla is like 2gb per active playfield but I might be wrong.

    My brother and I used our own private server and have i think 16gb total memory on that pc for just the two of us (we use the server for other games as well).

    Either way just because it worked on lower memory before doesn't mean it will now. The 1.5 update to Reforged added a ton of new space content and that will probably take up more memory.
