Plumbers Crack 4,033 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 A hardware telated query....I seem to be struggling a bit in game after I've teleported a few times or have been playing a while. Actions become "laggy" until it becomes unplayable or just freezes. A total restart of the game from the launcher cures it. I've got a 4 Gb memory stick in the laptop, I've changed the memory value in the launcher to "2" and reduced the render distance to 10 (whatever that does!) Would I see any significant improvement in game by swapping the memory stick to an 8Gb version? I couldn't sell it to Mrs P with the "it'll speed everything else up" argument as the only other thing the laptop is used for is word processing so I need to be sure before shelling out ~£60 Thanks guys Thanks to Capn_Underpants for the artwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greboth 2,705 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Whats the rest of the spec? I'm not sure how much stuff is stored locally - I know Bart said the server keeps both places loaded for a short time when you warp. I imagine our PC's do something similar so it could be a RAM issue. It's also possible it is a VRAM issue (graphics card memory) if it is trying to keep textures and the like loaded.

BO7H B4RRELS 2,447 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Turn some of the graphics settings down. Don't use "fancy" settings. Turn off clouds, shadows, etc. That might help a bit. I've also heard turning the music off can help. Via the FG App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sennex 1,903 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 also turn render to 8 Render basically means what can you see, and how far can you see it. If you can see something in a game, then it has to be loaded into memory BO7H B4RRELS 1 Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

Plumbers Crack 4,033 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Does this mean putting more RAM in won't help dramatically? Thanks to Capn_Underpants for the artwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it like this Ram is a table. Everytime you do something it gets put on the table. If the table gets cluttered, then the table starts dropping things off, or crashing. If you make the table bigger, then you can put more on it BO7H B4RRELS 1 Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."
