Memory usage on WIndonws 10 64 bit

[FreeSpaceIndustry]

Hey,

I'm having a performance issue on Windows 10, 64 bit, modded KSP (~20 mods), available memory 8 GB.

I have recently "upgraded" from Windows 7 64 bit to Windows 10 64 bit. (Before the update, when I launched the game it used around 4.5 GB memory and it run smooth.)

Now on Windows 10 64 bit it only uses 3.6 GB (~4GB) and I get stutter and long in game loads, very similar as before the Unity 5 / 64 bit upgrade for KSP.

I triple checked that I run KSP 64 bit version, Windows 10 64 bit version and I did not changed anything in my hardware.

Please help!

I wonder if the settings changed, so your computer stopped using more hardware.

Or maybe you ran some windows defender or IE in the bsckground.

Windows sees all the available memory (8 GB)

I will check windows defender, but I do not run anything in the background. (also nobody uses IE )

hopefully no one is counting on windows defender for anything...!!! turn it off and protect yourself with real products. ps..Kaspersky or Norton should never be considered.rofl

Sometimes I wonder if threads like this exist just to troll me. Windows Defender on Win10 draws from the same malware research as everyone else does, and isn't any worse than any other after-the-fact security blanket you can buy. 

Are you looking at the private working set memory that ksp_x64.exe is using on both systems? I imagine Win10 manages memory considerably differently than Win7 does, and on a game that can use 4 GB just on startup it's going to feel a squeeze on an 8 GB system. More RAM might be the easiest solution.

I run a considerably modded KSP myself, and it does use a fair bit of RAM; 8 GB on a 32 GB system after a few hours. I also use MemGraph notably, which can allocate additional heap space to reduce the stuttering that happens when KSP does heap garbage collection. Maybe try that if you want to allocate more RAM to KSP and have it disk-swap less.

Actually, Kaspersky is consistently rated among the best

Norton is nowhere near as bad as it used to be, and Kaspersky is one of the best antivirus products available, at least as far as detection rates go.

You should help yourself first, by reading this and posting the information it suggests.
As you appear convinced that this is a Windows upgrade issue, some system information might also be useful.

MemGraph worked thanks!
