Tech - Crazy memory usage per running instance of EQ (1 Viewer)

[Arxin]

I am seeing up to 8GB per instance of everquest. When I first log in its about 1.5GB per instance.

Not sure what to do to correct this. I am maxing out 32GB RAM running 6 toons.

Thanks in advance

on test they are working on directx11 and thats causing some memory issues, a long with the new ui render, it can get pretty bad for memory.

if you are not on test, make sure atleast to turn off the new ui render in your eq options window.

I am on live servers.

Toggled off the new ui engine on all toons. Seems to be about the same for memory usage.

Weird part is that at times I have one random toon that is around 800MB usage.

normally the game will settle down if oyu are in a zone long enough, tons of travel and zoning will cause memory usage.

Where's that option to turn it off? I got default loaded? Should I be using default (gf)?

no, un your regular alt-o options window. not on your ui skin window.

Thanks, I had found some other post on the forums about loading it. For anyone that reads this later: Options > Display Tab. Look below Advanced for the Use New UI Engine toggle.
