Framerate and Performance: Difference between revisions

1. If, in Single Player, you run into large lag spikes after some time playing you could be bottlenecked by lack of system memory (in extreme cases it can also crash with OutOfMemory exceptions, including graphics OutOfMemory issues). On Medium settings, Vintage Story needs about 4GB-6GB of free RAM to run smoothly, plus approximately 2GB of headroom for your graphics drivers.  While the game is playable if you have 8 GB or less system RAM, that may not be enough for totally smooth performance; 16 GB of system memory is recommended.  To help smoothness with low amounts of memory, in the game settings, try reducing view distance to 192 blocks or even less and then you should be able to run the game on most systems with low RAM: it is also wise to close your web browser and all other running programs. If it's your own computer it is well worth considering purchasing more RAM, upgrading to 16GB or even 32GB or more. Buying more RAM can be a cost-effective upgrade in comparison to a new graphics card or CPU.
