I Want FM10 to Use MORE Memory

[mijenks]

I've searched around and have only found people who are running out of memory. I don't have that problem. I've got 6GB (Win7 64 before you ask) and FM10 maxes out at 1GB when I still have 4GB of available/unused memory. Is there a setting I need to change?

If it matters, I originally got it from Steam on my older desktop (XP 32-bit) and then started playing on the new system (7 64-bit) by just installing again via Steam and FM10 is installed in the Program Files (x86) directory -- meaning it's a 32-bit app.

Also, I run in windowed mode.

Thanks

Go on to task manager > Processes.

Right click on fm.exe and set prioity to highest (i don't think realtime is possible)

IMO FM is not supposed to guzzle all of your memory and as a programmer I know the evils of memory management. What is happening, as far as I can tell is memory leakage. What this means is, while the game is running it is not clean up after itself once it has finished with a piece memory. So chunks of memory that are no longer needed by FM are still assigned to FM, but are not being used. So over time these unused blocks build up, until, you are out of memory. If you have a long session of FM you will probably notice it steadily using more memory.

AFAIK FM2010 is a 32 bit program anyway even if you run it on a 64bit platform it still is constrained by the 32 bit limitations.
