Solved: 8 Years, 3 Weeks ago Memory Leak [Not Solved] (Extreme FPS drop, gets worse)

Hi!

I hate myself for registring first now, even though I've followed development for so long and talked so much about this game, just to talk about an issue.

The problem is what seems to be a memory leak or something similar. I first experienced it in the coridoors outside
Spoiler below!
the room with the big digging machine
. If I crouched next to a table with the note on close to the passage to the door, eventually the game would start to lower its FPS. Eventually the fps was as low as 1 fps. After that, the whole room was sluggish, and would not speed up.

My second encounter with the problem was (ironshafts A I think it was called)
Spoiler below!
in the spidercaves, by the big hole after the big worm. Whilst running back to the door (before the timer closed it) the game started to get sluggish.

The real problem was when I got through the door to Ironshafts B. Here the memory leak got real bad, and I had an fps of around 0.3 fps. Regardless to say, this was unplayable. I tried to lower everything to the lowest, without any improvment.

I checked with a diagnostics program what the game was using. What I realized was that it ate all my RAM and used all my CPU. The game has run smooth before, so it's not my system.

My system specs are:
Pentium 4 1.80 ghz
512 mb RAM
Radeon 9600 256 mb AGP 4x

Hope you guys can figure it out... The game is unplayable right now Sad

EDIT:

Oh... Found a log in my folder. I found it interesting. I'm gonna try and run it without the diagnosis program and see if it is different. Could be the diagnose program that screwed with the log this time. Here is the current log:

EDIT:
Nope. Same log. This might be whats screwing with my game. What's wrong. I just see lots of Error Smile

I made it spoiler to make everything look more pretty ^^

Correction. Those directories I think were relevant. Tell me if they weren't and I'll post what you think were relevant.

Solved: 8 Years, 3 Weeks ago RE: Memory Leak (Extreme FPS drop, gets worse)

Quick note: reninstalling the game should never be anything that can help a problem unless one has edited any of the game files.

As for your problem:

What os are you running?
Are you sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card?
How does other OpenGL games like Doom 3 work?

Solved: 8 Years, 3 Weeks ago RE: Memory Leak (Extreme FPS drop, gets worse)

1. Windows XP Home Edition SP2

2. I've tried with Catalyst 7.1 and 7.4 (my old and the latest)

3. I dunno if I've played any other OpenGL games on this setup. The Techdemo worked fine. Can you give examples of other OpenGl games that I might have played?

Solved: 8 Years, 3 Weeks ago RE: Memory Leak (Extreme FPS drop, gets worse)

I checked your attached diagnostic log more closely and it is not any memory leak happening here, since the memory is not running out of control, but rather it is very high and stablizing at that high usage.

Also, it only seems like you have very little of the 512mb is available (I guess used by XP or something) and you still have actually have a few % left. Also, if the full memory was the slowdown one would see a lot of disk writes.

Check these things:
- Try turining off all other programs in the background, Anti-virus, messengers, etc.
- Turn down the texture resolution to medium and low and see if that helps (at least check if memory consumtion goes down).

After that we can see if can narrow down the problem.

Solved: 8 Years, 3 Weeks ago RE: Memory Leak (Extreme FPS drop, gets worse)

I tried as you told me to shut down all unneccesary programs, and even run a RAM-Booster prior to the startup (the rambooster wasn't running during the game.) I also set the texture level alot lower (Lowest possible). Despite everything looking like blured shit, the game was still unplayable. I noticed barely no diference in fps.

What I observed was that the RAM didn't fill up. This seems to be more of a CPU problem. I will try to experiment with it a bit more. Got any more ideas?

EDIT: Tried shutting off all effects. Performance didn't seem better. The graph was almost identicall to the one already posted so I didn't bother posting it again.

I attatched the statistics again, showin the low RAM usage.

The game has no slowdown in the menu right?

Try setting PhysicsAccuracy="0" in settings.cfg and see if that helps anything. The physics might get very buggy but we can check if that is where the problem lies.

Also, if you go into a room, get the slowdown and then leave the room, is the slowdown still there?

Solved: 8 Years, 3 Weeks ago RE: Memory Leak (Extreme FPS drop, gets worse)

Actually, it is like this from when I load the game. I noticed actually while looking at the door that I came from, the fps was slightly better, but just for a moment. Then it went back to crap even when looking that way. Must have been coincidence.

The fix had no effect it seemed, and as I mentioned, the fps is crap from loading and onwards. I've tried running about the level a bit, but the fps seemed never to get better.

The stat-log was basicly the same again as the one posted already so I won't post it again.
