Memory issue

[loud plinth]

I tested my gun system by firing 500 bullets per second continuously for 43 minutes without stopping ~ 1.25M bullet.
During the test,
FPS stayed stable, but memory usage increased by about 100 MB.

My question:
Is this normal memory behavior (engine caching / GC), or does this indicate a possible memory leak that could cause issues over long play sessions?
The increase stopped after stop firing
I want to clarify that 500 bullets per second is a very high number for my game

[sacred warren]

tbf its not major but youre probably not cleaning correctly

[loud plinth]

ihave BulletsPool , A huge number of bullets has been stockpiled due to the extremely high rate of fire. I don't know the exact reason for the increase of memory

after 30m of stop fireing The increase in memory consumption became 0

[sacred warren]

prob normal thennn

its only 100mb so i wouldnt worry

but just make sure to clean up

[loud plinth]

Is 500/s bullets a very high number, or is it possible that my game could reach that very large number?

[limpid cloud]

depends on the game

[sacred warren]

it really depends on your game, cant help with that

[limpid cloud]

so memory usage increases while shooting and doesn't go down?

[sacred warren]

it does go down but slowly

[limpid cloud]

i dont think theres enough information here to say anything with certainty

[loud plinth]

There will be no more than 10 players, most of whom will not have auto guns with 10/s firerate and I will include an option to prevent loading other players' bullets

[sacred warren]

try weak tables for absolutely no reason and pray it fixes

[sacred warren]

was the memory usage on client or server

[loud plinth]

client

Everything related to what the player sees is on the client

[limpid cloud]

i'd ask for code but its probably too long to tell much at a glance

[loud plinth]

Perhaps I need to conduct another, longer test and provide more information. Thank you all for your help.

[limpid cloud]

and compare to the roblox player, not just studio

[loud plinth]

I will make weapon with a high fireRate and test it but i dont have frinds
There are also limitations due to the frame refresh rate because I'm using RunService; I create more than one bullet per frame to increase the fireRate

i have 120 frame in studio

But I think it's being updated at 60 frames per second not 120.

[spark sorrel]

did memory usage linearly increase to ~100mb after 43 minutes?

[loud plinth]

I left the game running the whole time, then when I came back I found it had increased by 100MB

I'll record a video next time.

[limpid cloud]

use bots or just a higher firerate

500/sec is still a lot but not as much as you think; only 8 bullets per frame

should be able to handle 50 bullets/frame for 3000rps

[magic dove]

If only 1 gun is shooting that fast then yes if not then not

[spark sorrel]

I dont think anyone talking here atm actually understands shit about the cached values for GC and other engine shit, and no one here has (probably) ever profiled a memory issue before, I'd take all this bull honkey with a grain of salt

I imagine there is a way to look at the profiler to get an actual answer to your question, I just have no idea how

[loud plinth]

الامر يحتاج لاخذ لقطات للذاكرة ويحتاج لاختبار النظام على اعلى معدل ضغط لاطول فترة ممكمة

sorry for arabic

The translation makes the words strange

[viscid crag]

fix your cleaning

and use task.delay instead of debris

disconnect all connections if you have any

actually

why are u cleaning the bullets

????

are u doing physics on the bullets

or are u talking about shells ejected from the gun

if its the first case then just raycast and play a vfx

[spark sorrel]

ITS FUCKING OBJECT POOLING THATS HOW IT WORKS

[swift pike]

** You are now Level 13! **

[viscid crag]

sped i meant why are his bullets objects

read the whole thing before replying

u genuinely got some brain issues

do u do cframe physics on the bullets? 🥺

[spark sorrel]

you genuinely need to hop off im tired of your misinformation

[viscid crag]

please point out the misinformation

[spark sorrel]

also some people want physical bullets?

[viscid crag]

son

again arguing js to win

[spark sorrel]

son what?

[viscid crag]

its so over

iqlet

🥺

[spark sorrel]

If the bullets arent suppose to be objects what are they supposed to be?

[viscid crag]

rethinking that rebuttal

[viscid crag]

rays

🤯

[spark sorrel]

what if you want physical bullets

[viscid crag]

thats different son

exactly

op didnt mention if he wanted physical bullets

i assumed he didnt know any better

nitpick better next time

[spark sorrel]

yeah because the guy implementing object pooling doesnt know any better

[viscid crag]

ohh what a day of owning larps.. i better catch some Zs

[spark sorrel]

he is obviously putting more effort into optimization than you ever have in your life

[viscid crag]

u dont know me son

[spark sorrel]

"just use raycasts" like shut the fuck up

[viscid crag]

thats why i told him to raycast instead

🤣

[viscid crag]

its ok to do cframe on bullets

youre not bad youre just..

different

🥺

❤️‍🩹

[spark sorrel]

also genuinely whats wrong with defining position with CFrame?

explain this to me

[viscid crag]

LMFAOFOAFOAOFAOFAOFADOAFODOAF

"yeah bro im not a skid"

[spark sorrel]

no im genuinely curious

id love to hear your explanation aside from "i heard it somewhere"

[viscid crag]

yes lets do cframe physics on thousands of bullets on the server

mmmmm

yesssss

ohhhhh yes

https://giphy.com/gifs/tokyo-ghoul-touka-kirishima-gif-Oe5bIBMkdUaEo

yess render and compute all of that for me server

[spark sorrel]

CFrame physics?

do you know what the fuck youre talking about?

[viscid crag]

cframe for bullet motion

its not hard to put two and two together son

[spark sorrel]

CFrame are coordinate frames, they are matricies that define position and rotation

they are nothing more nothing less

[viscid crag]

again its ok if you do cframe math for bullet motion!

its okay!

no issues!

[spark sorrel]

they have nothing to do with the fucking physics thats a totally separate thing

[viscid crag]

Ohh i thought they were strings

Sorry

🤣 🤣

[spark sorrel]

I see why you have issues with your parents

[viscid crag]

[spark sorrel]

i'd have an issue with you too

[viscid crag]

ad hominem detected

brr brrrr

:warn

user is mad!

[spark sorrel]

"ad hominem detected" oh god he mentioned a fallacy im defeated

[viscid crag]

show your released games son

whats your daily income

wheres your studio

show your portfolio

ohhhh

none of that

[spark sorrel]

more than you

[viscid crag]

okay sorry

[viscid crag]

no number or proof to back it up

its okay to larp

❤️❤️

[spark sorrel]

show me urs bud

[viscid crag]

6.7trillion a day

gg owned

[spark sorrel]

show me ur portfolio

[viscid crag]

youll get there one day

maybe ill hire you

🤔

ill think about it

[spark sorrel]

i wouldnt work for u

[viscid crag]

stay broke

🤣

[spark sorrel]

dont act like you got money

[viscid crag]

livin off that mcdonalds wage

[spark sorrel]

u broke as shit

[viscid crag]

Ohh ok

[spark sorrel]

not mcdonalds

[viscid crag]

IF you say so

Sorry
