• Memory Usage

Posted: **Wed Jan 07, 2009 7:38 am**

LE, can you please check if there is potentially any memory leaks in the current version? I have loaded a few more zones, which is admittedly a lot of unclean data yet to be worked on, but with these 1,000's more NPCs plus the hugeness of the Items list now - My EQ2World is throwing virtual memory errors when I use /reload spawns. I saw EQ2World.exe using 992mb ram just now before my VM crashed.

Giving it 2GB RAM now and will try messing with it again. Just a heads up in case something is wrong.

Here's my startup for comparison:

To my surprise, World is actually running a lot fatter than before with these new datas loaded heh. Wow. This is me online, alone, with 1 zone booted:

Etc... That look normal to you?

Nope, that doesnt look right. I'll take a look at it.

In watching Zcoretri playing / reloading spells, this honestly may have always existed but was never noticable until all this data got loaded. I see World (with no /reload spawns) has grown about 50M since server startup - maybe about 30 mins, with huge desynching happening to a few clients, and he is likely using /reload luasystem and /reload spells.

Nowhere near as obvious as /reload spawns tho.

It should be vastly improved now. When I get time to rewrite the spawn code (again) I'll try to reduce the amount of memory being used.

Let me know when you start rewriting spawns (again), I have a laundry list of shit to throw at ya.

j/k

You know I hate kissing anyone's ass in front of the entire world, but man you are amazing sometimes lol... Not only did you cut the size of the overall memory used at startup, but /reload spawns no longer appears to gobble up all resources.

I am more amazed by the first fix.

Can't wait to see what else you got planned.
