Very Ram Hungry

[RinMaru]

Im not sure if this is an issue or is intended but ive seen this program take up about 2gb of ram. seems a bit much for a frontend

Windows 10 x64 i5 6402P 8GB DDR4 AMD RX 480 4GB

Never had such a huge ram usage. How many games do you have in your library?

Could you try changing BitmapScalingMode in advanced.ini to options listed here and take a note if memory usage changes?

[RinMaru]

about 140+ games changing image quality will drop it to about 1.7GB

[valters-tomsons]

Never had a library anywhere near that size, but that still sounds way too much.

Could you tell me the size of your Resources/Configs folder? It could be that all the images loaded really do take up that size.

145mb

Could you archive your Resources/Configs folder and upload it somewhere so I can test? Don't worry, it doesn't include any personal information other than game file path.

Thanks! 2GB indeed!

Looks like there's a memory leak in unmanaged code sections, I'll try to find the cause of it.

Edit: Turns out, the "memory leak" happens when streaming bitmap images. Not sure how to even fix this.

Using Minimem seems to clear out some of the leak but it don't always work

Edit: Im no dev or anything but would making a cache file of all the images fix it? sorta like what dolphin does with its game DB

Issue has been fixed in https://github.com/FaithLV/WPF_Spectabis/commit/ee07b4b3ce520567d761eb0da7f1eceb3804cbda

I have one more idea to improve performance and you should expect an updated release in upcoming days.

Edit: Just for notes, your library now uses around 80Mb.
