Possible memory leak? in SH4

Hmmmm, theoretically, the virtual memory usage shouldn't keep climbing. It will normally climb to some peak value, but hold there + or - a certain amount as things change.

Since other people are experiencing this, I'll go ahead and install the memory usage. Interesting too that it will eat up 3 gigs of physical ram. That's usually some issue to do with memory management (hence the term memory leak- game doesn't correctly flush unused data from memory when it's done with it).

I will give it a try and see what comes up.

If anyone else expereiencing problems wants to see what's going on, you'll need to install this utility. The process/system monitor in Task Manager is not sufficient.

AVG, yes VM is windows controlled. I only set it manually when I have 2 drives installed as that speeds up the VM use (set VM on the drive your windows install is not on). Right now my new system only has one drive.

I have 500 M Vid Ram, 2 Gig Sys Ram and 2500 Megs fixed Virtual cache. I'm careful to keep other processing programs to a minimum and have no virus/spyware programs running at all during the game (the game is not going to download and install malware in the background.) I get no halts or studders at all at any time.

I think the AMD DC chip with its on-board memory manager is an elegant solution and the ASUS M2R32-MVP mainboard with ATI chipset is a perfect match to all the hardware I'm using. I have the CPU overclocked 5%. I could put in a faster CPU and install faster memory and get even better performance. My 3D battle external frame rates drop down to around 20 once in a while, but I'm satisfied with anything above 15 so not in a hurry to spend money right now.

I don't know haven't looked at any memory settings.
