sdfgsdjfasdjk Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hello, i use FNV + DM + HH + OWB, updated to latest patch. NVSE 2b9 and the NVSE 4GB loader form nvse homepage. However even using texture pack (Poco Bueno, Ojo is too much unless you play through microscope) I noticed the FalloutNV.4gb (thats the process name after being launched via fnv4gb.exe) never uses more than ~1400 Megabytes of memory. thats pretty much as the normal FallouNV.exe uses. I've tried going into heavy populated areas, AWOP rumble zones, even instaled Warzones - no matter what I do the 4GB loader on my system never uses more memory. This all is while i have roughly 1Gb - 1.3Gb of free memory. What am I doing wrong, I mean there's 1gig of free memory sitting right there why doesnt the loader use it ? I use Win7 x64 Ultimate, 4Gb RAM, 3GHz Quad Core Intel, Ati HD5670 1GB For any insight into the problem I shall be thankful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothikaGeist Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 If you use the NV Configurator: http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=40442You can increase the Interier/Exterior Cell Buffer Description in NV Configurator: Higher values means more exterior/interior cells are loaded into RAM.Higher Values can be used if you have a lot of spare RAM.

sdfgsdjfasdjk Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 hi, i forgot to mention these settings, but i already have the cell buffers at 12/144 (int/ext) and the preload size at 223mb. even if i max out the interior cell setting in nv configator (48) it yields no noticeable gain/loss of performance and the memory usage still never goes over 1400meg. Just out of curiosity, can you confirm your FalloutNV.4gb process is able to use more than 1400meg of memory in Task Manager? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothikaGeist Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Opening the task manager while running the game usually makes it crash xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdfgsdjfasdjk Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 hello, you can circumvent that and even (im my own experience) gain additional stability/performance using the fake fullscreen mode found here: nexus link. Also on completely unrelated note, I remember in one thread you mentioned your game always crashes/hangs on exiting. then in another thread you posted your nv configator screens and i noticed you have Multithreaded Audio on. This is in my experience a no no, causes no performance gain and causes instabilities. also it coincidentally makes your game srash at exit :) regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thasic Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Fake Full Screen mode will INCREASE stability? Really? Can anyone verify this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdfgsdjfasdjk Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Fake Full Screen mode will INCREASE stability? Really? Can anyone verify this? Isn't the fact that it will prevent the infamous CTD on Alt-Tab haunting all gamebryo games since oblivion increasing stability enough for you? For more info on its inner workings i'd suggest you contact the author. Meanwhile, go and see if your FalloutNV.4gb ever gets over 1400meg in Task Manager. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maboru Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I use fn4gb NVSE loader and I can confirm, through my Logitech G13 lcd screen Cpu and Ram percentages which I have on all the time, that the game uses from 2.8 - 3.5 gig (above and beyond the 1.6 gig that Win7 64 and my various game devices use.) Prior to that the game only used @1gig. I was thinking of trying Fake Fullscreen just for convenience but that would disable the AVG (my anti-virus) function of giving up ram when I go full screen (very gamer friendly.)

Any idea what though? this is a fresh install, but i t was doing it before as well. It concerns me because Fallout 3 on same machine uses 2gb+ memory with 4gb loader np regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure the ESC menu is pulled up first :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
