    Just to clear things up, I added a TLDR in the description. Apologies if the audio is a little scuffed on this one as I missed a weird glitch in the first part and well.. the second part had the torrential downpour. Still, please let me know of your experiences with this in the comments, and I will be continuing to look into this issue and sending BSG information as I collect it. As always, thank you for watching!

    memory goes from 12 to the full 32gb during raid, clear memory by opening/closing the menu. once this memory builds up a second time it will crash the game(bonus points if it happens 5 minutes left in the raid timer cause the game wont let you back in within that time frame)

      It does that gradual buildup over the course of the raid and clears *mostly* after you leave a raid. I've had situations due to the stellar server setup where I've had to fully relog, and the buildup did actually transfer as far as I saw (but I scrapped any data that had that happen to keep it as consistent as possible).

    One problem for me is also that Tarkov seems to load just much more data than it needs. It fills up my 12GB of VRAM immediately, no matter what I load into, although I have almost zero spillover into system memory. Changing settings and the like doesn't even change anything about the VRAM usage, even though you would expect it to go down significantly when you go from max settings to minimum.

    How wild, I was just doing research on my ram usage like 20 min ago on Streets, then I see this video while trying to look up my issue! Very well detailed! Thanks for putting all the time in. I had 100fps at all times on Streets last week, then Tuesday, Im sitting at around 50-60fps. I've been doing research on why since then and todays journey brought me to ram. I notice that Streets uses damn near all of my ram which is 32GB. I ended up downloading a ram cleaner program that clears that standby ram you were talking about every 5 minutes. Didn't help my frames but maybe it'll be useful overall.

      The biggest hog on steets FPS is all the AI/players…
      At the start of the raid - FPS is 100+, and end of raid (like last 10 mins) it’s good.. as this is when all AI/ players are loading in at the start and then dead at the end and extracted at the end of the raid..
      Run offline with bots disabled and you’ll see how much better it runs…

    Another issue that people are just calling "memory leak" is the recent bug where after 3-4 raids you find yourself with halved FPS, people say it's due to an Nvidia Reflex bug but Reflex only makes it worse, the problem persists with Reflex off. You can also see errors being spammed in console when it happens.

    0:56 You aren't close to VRAM spillover, you are already past it. As the GPU gets close to it's VRAM capacity it will start culling memory, getting rid of what it doesn't need right now and send stuff to the RAM, you won't really see the full 8gb used since the GPU drivers will do everything they can to avoid it.

      True, you're right. Its a mix of VRAM spillover when I am in raid and the memory leak, since the behavior I discuss in the video occurs even when that VRAM limit is not close to being hit (but obviously getting close will drastically affect consumption, as seen in my data).

If the ram cleaner ingame is also the same way then i can see why they wouldnt want it to randomly kick on in raid but at the same time if its only working in the menu it should communicate that.

  • @asteriskman
    @asteriskman ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you want to know what the 'auto ram cleaner' does deep down inside, you can read the Unity (Tarkov is on Unity, right?) documentation about the Garbage Collector. Specifically I suspect this setting simply enables 'Incremental GC'.
    These two modes basically offer a tradeoff between doing smaller garbage collection tasks more frequently (which may slow things down) or waiting and do them all at once (which will cause stutters). The GC works (kinda) by looking at each reference to every object the game stores in memory and trying to determine which objects don't need to be around any more. That can be a computationally expensive task when the Streets lobby has six chads simultaneously mag dumping thousands of bullets into RAM.
    It's also worth noting that the Unity docs state that the incremental GC takes advantage of any idle time created by vsync. So there's probably a complex relationship between memory, overall framerate, and on/off combos of vsync + Auto RAM Cleaner.
    I suppose there can also be a performance increase of having incremental GC if that helps keep the game's memory more traversable - you imagine each time the game has to 'find' some object (like did this bullet his this player or whatever) there's some tree structure of memory that it has to go through each item until it finds what it needs. When a game gets progressively slower over time, to me that's a byproduct of that tree getting too big or too deep. The GC might help trim it down and boost framerates back up.

      Correct- but it might actually be on purpose. The A.R.C only runs when you hit escape (at least, as far as I could observe) but it still decreases overall RAM consumption by a couple GBs. Still worth it, but it doesn't do much automatically to try and avoid making more stutters when you're actually in game (as a stutter occurs when purging memory).

      There may be some passive, small cleaning happening here and there with the most recent behavior I've noticed with 0.13.5.1, but I think they had to take some of that back with the rollback, as it was still causing stutters (that's just my theory though, don't take that part as utter fact).

    Man this is trippy because for the first like 2-3 years I played tarkov I had a shitty computer, and I when I would feel laggier than usual I used to hit esc, it would stutter, then back out. I would repeat this until I could hit esc twice and it opened and closed quickly with no stutter.(I would have to do it about 3 times) After my game always felt better.

    About the drop when you opened the menu, maybe they programmed to be like this. Did you feel the game froze for a second or two when you opened the menu?
    For example, dumping memory is one of the most common reason for stutters. You do not want stutter while you are moving and shooting.
    This stutter is caused by something we call Garbage Collector (GC) in a very important moment. The GC has to "freeze" the process so it can access the memory and clean whatever it's not being used anymore.
    Remember a few wipes ago where the game just went crazy with the stutters whenever you shoot? That's why.
    It is just the way C# and Unity works (got o unity docs, Manual/performance-garbage-collector.html)
    Unity has some tools and techniques so you can have more control over GC, so maybe, just maybe, they decided to trigger GC when you open a menu (?), since if you are in a menu, nothing critical will happen if you have stutters.

I found that I was going over my 32gb of system memory and the game would crash every second game on streets. I bought a cheap 128gb SSD and use it only for virtual memory. I set the memory at 35gb (I just wanted more VM than my system memory). My game no longer has crashes and even looking around in game is smoother.

Also beforehand I had to turn of discord and browsers to play with a stable FPS without stuttering. Now I can keep basically anything open without suffering from these issues.

  • @JCglitchmaster
    @JCglitchmaster ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am going to add this since I've been playing since Ram Cleaner was implemented. I would be cautious of using it because Deadly Slob back in the day had his ram fail which he believes was linked to activating this setting. I've also had a set of my ram fail shortly after enabling this setting back when it was first implemented. This was many moons ago and they may have fixed whatever was causing this, but considering the results in this video, clearly it's not working correctly so I personally would rather just restart my game every couple of raids rather than potentially having it break something (atleast until BSG have made it work correctly).
    Again, it may not be an issue now but I'd rather warn people so they can make a decision. Also if anyone has used it for multiple RECENT wipes could they say since I am personally curious if they have fixed this issue (not curious enough to risk another set of ram though).

    • @SorrowAngel97

      I have been playing since patch 12.11 and I’ve always had the ram cleaner option enabled. I haven’t had any computer/hardware issues thus far nor have I heard of anyone else having their ram “fail”. It’s always better to be safe than sorry though so I don’t blame you for not having it enabled if you genuinely think it could be harmful to your hardware

    @Spratty-wb3is ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is probably a stupid comment as you look far more clued up on software than myself, but is your graph not showing system ram and vram allocation stats rather than usage?
    Ive been trying to set up an overlay myself and if im reading it correct im finding a massive difference between allocated vs actual usage.
    For instance on my setup loading into woods im allocating 14gb vram and using around 10gb for about the first minute in raid and then quickly dropping to 5gb for the remainder.
    System ram also allocating around 14gb however never going above 5gb on usage.
    Every chance im reading it wrong however.

    I'm finding that 2nd or 3rd consecutive online raids drop from (offline) 80-120 fps to (online) 40-60 fps, on the same map, with ram cleaner, with purging standby (cached) ram.
    Memory (ram, vram) usage and temperature remain similar enough, so I have no idea what is causing this.

  • @thebasspro

    Also the ram cleaner has always been bugged(it worked for 1st week of this wipe before technical update) the ram cleaner only cleans when you hit main menu or turn it on and save the hit menu screen the system memory set gets cleared. It has been like this. I use another program to just have this mem clear on hotkey. But for a bit i was turning this setting on and hitting main menu and turning it back off between every raid to minimize issues and it worked but also sucked to do

  • @killswitch_disengage
    @killswitch_disengage ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Very nice and thorough test. Although I wish you would have logged the FPS as well, as in my opinion that is what is actually noticeable without the OSD. If the game uses all the memory, that's not really a problem as long as the system remains responsive, but this is obviously not the case clearly 😂
    In my own experience, the FPS decreases significantly after a number of raids, typically becoming unplayable after about 10 raids without restarting the game. Let's stay the first raid on woods I have 150 FPS average. Regardless of the map, after a few raids, the FPS and frametime will be so inconsistent that it is disturbing to play. I've had times where the FPS comes down to under 45! From 150 to 45 in let's say 10 raids. Restarting the game fixes this, but that is hilariously stupid.
    I understand that this may be a very intricate and complex issue, and this so-called memory leak may only be a part of the problem.
    Thanks for taking the time to diagnose and hypothesize though, not many bother. ❤

    Can you test to see if going into your inventory in game achieves the same ram cleaning effect as going into settings? For ages everyone has always said ram cleaner only takes effect when you hit tab, so the subsequent stutters don’t affect your normal gameplay.
