Well, I left my buffbot running all night last night with Eltank...still 132mb. Eltrack is probably the biggest memory user (same problems inherent to any tracking plugin: large gui lists and storing info on many items), but it sounds like the range is too great to be affected by Decal and plugins. Video memory and framerates are probably worst impacted by plugins, but I highly doubt they can make up for the ~100mb variations in memory use. It could, however, be related to how far off the client decides to set the auto-degrade...

Well after testing for 14 hours of testing my peak mem usage on my main comp was 488,936. My second client was 252,308 both are on the same computer. On my second computer running one client, peak was 164,786. My main comp has FX 6800 256mb and my second comp is a 4400 64mb.

My client uses about 180 MB of ram, of course, it doesn't matter to be since I have a gig of it on my main system.

It has nothing to do with recent patches. Since ToD came out my memory usage has been anywhere from 100 to 300 MB at any given time per client.


Dunno what it is on my computer either, actually.

You may be right, but i was able to dual log without crashes till last patch: since then i can't do that anymore due to memory shortage, and it's dumb when you have 1Gb physical + 1.5Gb virtual.

The most likely culprit, I'd say, is chat spam. ID strings and chat are two of the biggest resource hogs in AC. The video is nothing...
