When I started playing it was at 11.7 Gigs and made its way up to 30.5 Gigs and plateaued at that. I do not know what it typically uses but
I was told to check and yeah, seems like a excessive increase. This was over the course of one run.
#Ram Usage Seems High
solar sand
Bazzite (Proton Expermental and yes, not a good benchmark)
13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700K
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
64 Gigs of Ram
pliant pulsar
Similar issues - on Linux ran out of ram and had steam restart.
On Windows it was a bit better - was hovering around 15-16GB but when quitting the game it spiked to about 20GB.
32GB ram so I shouldn't be having a lot of issues.
Only thing I seem to recall on both incidents was passing through the desert sector (tiny-monkey-48) which always seems to have some optimization issues (low framerates/gpu usage).
