Gyro Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I did a search for this on the forums and didn't see it addressed. Â Has this been tested at all as a possible memory mitigation measure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyro Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I've seen it being thrown around on the Nexus forums; supposedly you can add it to skyrim.ini under [General] and it will pop loaded cells out faster than it would otherwise, thereby freeing up more RAM. So instead of keeping that building you just left loaded up after you jump into Markarth, it unloads it straightaway. In theory, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootsrat Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Interesting. Worth trying I guess, but how can we accurately measure and test it to produce a valid test case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyro Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Interesting. Worth trying I guess but how can we accurately measure and test it to produce a valid test case?Possibly by looking at Skyrim memory use after a transition from an interior cell to an exterior cell under both cases?

torminater Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yes. With skyrim perfmon this should be possible. I don't think this ini line will provide a placebo "cleanmem" effect. More likely it'll not do anything OR actually cause issues between cell transitions, scripts, mods with multiple followers or quest bugs. Still, it would be nice if the setting worked.

Neovalen Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Definitely something to look at... always skeptical of these things :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
