VMK and Computer Memory

[Quartz]

Not for me , not a memmory hog at all.

Probably a newbie question, but ran a search and didn't see anything.

Does anyone else have trouble with VMK using too much computer memory? When I play it progressively uses more and more memory until the lag becomes terrible (more than 1gb sometimes).

I have to log out/close my browser/log back in. Then its back to normal for a while.

I see this on all three computers in my house.

Anyone else see this/know how to fix it?

Closing the window does seem to make your character go away, but there is a condition to this. If you have multiple windows open with VMK running, you have to close them all. I suspect that this might actually be the more broad condition of multiple windows open running Shockwave.

I guess it must be kind of an individual computer thing the way it happens. For me all I have to do is close the one window which that character was logged in on and they disappear even if I have other windows open.

Wow!! I never knew this!! I'm going to try logging out/logging back in next time my pirate games start lagging really bad.

How do you find out how much memory your computer has?

Start menu, then right click on Computer and that should pull it up.
