ERROR__memory is not enough

[fooljap]

My minetest game is finished forcibly because that said memory is not enough.
But my PC has 16GB Physical memory & 16.8GB Virtual memory. (64bit_windows8.1_core i7)
The memory management of this game is too too terrible if said that memory is lacking in it with this performance.
It is a cause that I put a large quantity of MOD in a game, but is played a dull game without MOD.
How about all of development teams, or would you improve the issue of memory by some means or other?

I think you use a 64 bit version - how much memory does it occupy? (Task manager)

A screenshot of that message could be helpful.

up to neary 3GB memory & shatdown all over !!

Code: Select all

Add these lines to the end of your minetest.conf file to clean up some of the memory while running Minetest:

Code: Select all

item_entity_ttl = 180
server_unload_unused_data_timeout = 60
client_unload_unused_data_timeout = 60
ignore_world_load_errors = true
enable_mesh_cache = false
enable_minimap = true

Added these lines to the end of my minetest.conf
Because game setting changed, I see a state for a while. Thank you for an answers.

Thanks i modified this snippet a little to suit my needs :

item_entity_ttl = 60 <---- i don´t need more than 60 seconds to kill a sheep ;-)
server_unload_unused_data_timeout = 60
client_unload_unused_data_timeout = 60
enable_mesh_cache = false

My computer is slow and the last 3 lines of script makes sense for me to use as is, however, today i spotted a Media Cache folder inside the MineTest mainfolder, that contains over 9.000 files with file names similair like this : 3235hj35gh34g5hj25g3254 and no extension, can i just dellete all items from that Media cache folder and use a line in the config file like : enable_media_cache = false
in order to disable minetest from storing data into the media cache folder?

i make a backup of my minetest folder, and then i just try it... i might be back in a bit.. ;-)

Done testing! delleted whole content of the Cache Media folder, as expected the game just starts as normal and it just puts new data into the Media Cache folder, now there is 5000+ less (unused old) files in that folder wich saves me some time each time i backup my minetest folder as a Tar.gz file ;-)
I did not add : enable_media_cache = false to the config file since i doubt it wil work in the way i want..

*sigh*

Code: Select all

item_entity_ttl = 180
server_unload_unused_data_timeout = 60
client_unload_unused_data_timeout = 60
ignore_world_load_errors = true
enable_mesh_cache = false
enable_minimap = true

The last three settings don't make any sense for this:
ignore_world_load_errors is not a good idea if you don't need it and might actually damage your map.
enable_mesh_cache is disabled by default anyway, setting it to false won't change anything.
enable_minimap doesn't have any effect on memory usage at all (actually it probably even uses more memory).

We currently have a memory leak problem, and are working on it.

[est31]

enable_mesh_cache has only been disabled lately. Its default on for 0.4.12. Setting it to false (where it defaults to true) can indeed reduce memory usage (see github issue for more talk about it).

Agreed, ignore_world_load_errors and enable_minimap don't have anything to do with memory usage.
