Skyrim RAM usage increases...

Post » Fri Sep 21, 2012 4:41 am

I had a question about Skyrim and it's memory caps. It's nice that they made it able to use more than 2GB, but I've been running into some problems with the thing all of a sudden.

I don't know if the commit size/paged memory counts towards the memory cap, but my game used to use a max of ~3GB combined working set RAM and committed memory. Without any changes to mods, etc. on my end, all of the sudden it uses 2.5-2.7GB of working set RAM in certain areas, and about 2.2-2.5GB committed memory. The game stalls out when both combined reaches about 4.5GB.

Alternatively, I have no idea if it might be some problem with my mods, however nothing changed with the mods and for quite some time it worked just fine. The problem mainly occurs when I go from an interior cell to an exterior one. (Especially exiting Breezehome to Whiterun.)

Anyone have any insights or advice?
