I downloaded the test game/levels. I will test it tomorrow.

Downloading now...Will edit when needed.

Booted it up ... went to one of the supply drops and boom ... it reloaded the level. Ran good since.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the assistance as we work this out. *Added Test#2 10 levels this time, 62 unique assets reused.

Defy I've given you lots more data as I have MSI AfterBurner running on this Computer.

No crashes - AI working as one would expect from GG


Extra...

Kept testing (test 3) running through levels 1 to 6 over and over,
Loading level one would add about an extra 700MB to 1GB to system
memory, the other five levels would only add a few 100mb to system memory

System memory would max out at 7GB and would stay there no matter how many
times I started the test levels.


Extra extra...


How does Test 3 run using dividetexturesize=2 in setup file

Level 1 = Video ram = 1481MB - System Ram = 2448MB
Level 1 = Video ram = 1471MB - System Ram = 2402MB
Level 1 = Video ram = 1533MB - System Ram = 2352MB
Level 1 = Video ram = 1594MB - System Ram = 2353MB
Level 1 = Video ram = 1658MB - System Ram = 2399MB
Level 1 = Video ram = 1710MB - System Ram = 2383MB




The main problem is still the memory going off the clock when you are killed
and it's your last life, you restart the game from the main menu and you are
hit with an extra 800MB of memory used each time with this map, or save
and load a few times and again big hit, in my case up to 7GB was showing
in system memory after a few restarts and save and loads, I started off with
about 2.5GB used, so the rest 4.5GB is use by GG.

Having said all that I had no crashes, AI seemed to work ok, non of the
maps had slow down.


Test 4 coming soon...

Thank you 25-WATTS for the awesome run down, you deserve a badge for the years of information you have provided not just here.
All the best.

I love that you're doing this but without the lightmapper working I feel like it's not going to entirely get to the root of the problem.

I also hope future tests contain at least twice the entities and characters, and all levels having many static lights, as that's what would probably be the minimum required for a commercial release steam ready finished game.

as it is, it makes gameguru look pretty good, but I somehow still wouldn't approach the compile of a 6 level game with any confidence given gameguru and fpsc's track record and my own experiences.

@Bugsy, Yes I do agree on your points.
Thanks again for those interested in this topic
