Spotify, Discord and steam using 40% RAM

[wet merlin]

I was playing FH5 on all medium settings with TAA, (for context i have a r5 5600G, RX6600, 16GB DDR4 RAM @3200Mhz) and the game randomly crashed which its never done before. I looked at task manager and just trying to load it up it was very sluggish. On average, it tops out at about 40% usage but im not sure whats causing it.

Well discord and Spotify are ram heavy and you are trying to run a game too

i just didnt really think they would take up THAT much ram

They do 🙂

All of them being web-based. So yes, they will take a lot of RAM.

on top of that they're also all built on electron (chromium)

So you essentially have 3 chrome instances (it's a lot more complicated than that but that's the easy way to put it)

Things can crash for unknown reasons, unexpected things happen. I don't think the RAM is the issue here either way.
