Since the graphic update it has become impossible to maintain our way of life as we had it.
ArcheAge now uses approx 1gig of memory in addition to what it used pre-patch.
Currently between 2.4 gig - 2.8 gig Physical Ram, whereas it used to be around 1.4 gig.
This is killing the game. As the labor falls short of being able to accomplish much of anything.
I can load one character, but attempting to load another instance, crashes that instance. I used to be able to load 3 instances, no issues. (and this game is designed for alt usage).
The in-game optimization button which loads default character appearance etc, only makes a tiny difference to memory usage. It is such a tiny amount, that it is pretty much useless.
This on a pc that has 10Gb Ram, 8-core CPU.
I have followed all recommendations and my settings are on low, even the pc has been reinstalled fresh. Framerate, V-sync, Windowed mode, Dx 9, Page file, bla bla bla... no joy.
The same issue persists on other computers.
Hmm I'm wondering if this is my issue but it doesnt seem to be. I am getting those crazy disconnects too, but I even at 2.8gb ram I shouldnt be crashing. I'll watch it
