1.30 BUG Constant VRAM Memory Leak - Inadequate or faulty graphics card

[anton.gf]

Its a copy of my steam topic, here https://steamcommunity.com/app/392160/d ... 807236273/

Windows 10 build 1809
X4 Foundation 1.30 Rus (no mods)
Bug appears from a start of a game. Game doesn't flush vram. If this is intended behavior of an engine - its bad =(
Changing settings helps with prolonging game time, but not remove this bug.

Comp specs:
Intel i7 6700HQ
Nvidia Geforce 960M 2 Gb VRAM
16 Gb RAM
Driver - 417.22
No sys modifications.

P.S. How to add files like dxdiag report to the message?
P.P.S. Fixed memory from 4 gb to 2 gb. Sry.

Sign up to google drive and save your dxdiag there. Right click it and get a link you can post on forums.

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M

Dedicated Memory: 2010 MB

You are below minimum spec and you have a gpu with 2Gb dedicated vram, it says in your dxdiag, unless that wasnt yours on steam.

Well-spotted niksenior!

@ OP: if you think you have a 4GB card version as you state in your posts then a half of your VRAM is not registering or is non-functional.

Its not a reason to ignore that thing. Game cannot flush unused textures, and if devs can fix it, min specs will drastically decrease.

Agreed in principle, and please note that dev CBJ has said that Egosoft will try to improve gameplay for 2 GB card users, but not very soon because of their other priorities just now.

What does not help just now though is providing them with incorrect information that has them wasting precious time by looking for issues in the wrong places. I'm sure that it was an innocent mistake though and no real harm was done this time.

My friend with 4 Gb vram card (RX580) agreed with me. He has same problem, but he can play much longer before a crash occurs because of lack of memory. If devs wanna move this problem out of priority list - they will make much more harm, than good.
