Hallo, all, first of all i am a computer ignorant


I noticed that while few months ago acclient.exe was using an average of 20Mb now it's up to 200 MB.


I checked that on Task Manager and seemed dumb.


Now, my pc is old, but it's not that bad: i have an athlon xp 2.5 Ghz, 1 Gb of 400 ddr ram Corsair, a 256 Mb video card Radeon 9600, and can't understand how this can happen.


Anyone noticed an increase of the ram usage by acclient after last patch?


I am running at medium/sharp/medium as ingame resolution and i am not able to dual log for more than a couple of hours anymore ( i run a trade bot so i usually let it run 24/7 ).


Any clue from Decal gurus? It's not a Decal issue i think ( it's using 6Mb as usual ) but i thought maybe you guys have some more infos about this.


Thanks for any info

After 24 hours of running, acclient is sitting at 36MB of memory (Firefox is at 68MB after an hour of running).


I've heard of people having issues with ATI cards, I wonder if this could be related somehow, seeing you are running an ATI 9600. Just thinking out loud here.

Running one client on an ATI 9600 pro chipset. I use on average 160-170k ish. It can go upto 270+ if I'm running around to a lot of places.

Dumb question: 170k or 170.000 kb? Cause Task Manager shows 170.000 kb but it's 170 Mb, correct?


So it could be my video card?....mmm it has latest drivers as well....doh.


For example right now i am ar 138.760 Kb after 20 mins in a static spot

150mb at the moment, but note: Decal plugins are NOT counted under the total for Decal, they are counted under the total for acclient. Decal plugins run as PART of AC. That's how they work. Denagent.exe just loads the plugins when you start AC.
