[SOLVED] RUST is using all my memory? Why?

[Aflyxxn]

So I’ve just downloaded rust .. the steam game..

I meet all the game requirements but when I run the game it lags bad and barely loads (sometimes just crashes).. it starts off using like 800mb memory but gradually goes up to 3gb and keeps increasing ? Why? What is going wrong?


Pc

CPU; i5 4690k, 3.5ghz
Mother board; Z97I GAMING AC
GPU; GTX 760 2gb
PSU; 550w
DDR3; 8gb
Ultra SSD 120gb / 1tb HDD


Current stats when running on lowest settings - CPU -20% , RAM-77%, disk-50% , GPU-3%


Thanks

Does it impact gaming experience ?

Yes the RAM eventually gets to around 91% usage and i close the game.

I mean i play a lot of other games including ARK and GTA 5 which are bigger games etc..and they never use anywhere near as much mem.. Its just really strange..

Alot of people have suffered with the same issue but no-one had came up with an actual solution.

Than it must be due to particular game engine, can't see much you can do about it except to double your RAM.

64-bit titles will happily use as much RAM as Windows supports; there isn't a 2GB/4GB limit on RAM usage anymore. Frankly, 8GB isn't viable for gaming anymore; I've seen many recent titles that will use more then that.

By contrast, ARK and GTAV are 32-bit executables, and tap out at 4GB as they simply can't address more then that.
