Distant Terrain + Real Grass High Memory Usage
Posted: Sun Mar 14, 2021 7:01 pm
Pre-text, recently I discovered my DFU was using 10+ gbs of memory, this freaked me out and I started loading mods in groups of 5 to see which mods were causing this. Here is what I discovered.
Distant Terrain without real grass barely uses extra memory
Real Grass without distant terrain does manage memory usage, albeit a lot of memory as expected.
Distant Terrain + Real Grass = Memory hog that grows in size.
Tested with DFU version Beta 0.11.1
steps to reproduce
(monitor your DFU memory usage with task manager)
1. DFU Beta 0.11.1 + Distant terrain + Real Grass installed
2. load a saved game or start a new game
3. Fast Travel to any town/city
4. Continue fast traveling to different towns and watch your memory usage climb
I tested this with a brand new clean install of daggerfall unity, clean appdata folders & clean mod installs. Just to make sure there was no other variables affecting this.
Distant Terrain Nexus
Real Grass Nexus
I don't have a solution for this problem, Maybe someone has some idea of what's going on here.
Also i'm not trying to point fingers and blame anyone, these are two great mods but there seems to be a conflict.
