It seems that the acclient takes up alot more RAM than before, is it decal that has mem leaks or AC?

try it with and without decal for a while?

i believe people have been reporting memory leak issues with just the client on certain hardware setups.

I had serious issues with a Radeon 128M ati chipset card in regards to memory leakage.

it would only run ONE instance of mule trader and about hever 20-24 hours would blue screen on some ati routine. this was on a 2.99Ghz pentinum 4 machine with 1G of main memory. yet a 3 or 4 year old Nviva Geforce card on a 1Ghr machine pentinum 2 or 3 with .75G of main memory could run two instances of mule trader on a HIGHER graphics setting and NOT have troubles.

needless to say i scrapped the 'freebie/bundled' ati card and got a new niva card within days.

Basically, just about every ATI card out there has an issue. I have memory leak problems with an X800TX, 9800 Pro, and 8500 ... I've tried different drivers (even from the "special drivers" not from ATI), with and without Decal, and the problem is in the AC Client.

Apparently Turbine is taking the "Powered by nVidia" motto just a little too serious.

peace

It does occur on nVidia hardware as well.... but to a much smaller segment of the population.

And it doesn't happen to everyone with an ATI card... but definately a good portion.

nVidia cards do have some probs too, just not as many. I have a GeForce 6600 GT, and I've tried every one of nVidia's drivers for it, from the most recent to the oldest that will support it, I still crash out with a a Client Error when logging out a char. Not every time, but often. And it's partially correlated to how many plugins I'm running.

Yep, my PC with a 9800 Pro works just peachy on everything, but a few hours of AC will cause things to crawl -- with the exception of AC, which will happily keep running with its extra bloat happy .

This is with or without Decal. I did notice the problem was worse when I had eltank installed, but it could just be the ol' observer error. Got rid of tank anyway as it seemed a waste to have it around for buffing and ElTrack when I can get nice streamlined plugins that do those things less intrusively (hello, Buff Me and FindIt!).
