Hi Everyone,
When I read several topics I see memory leak issues come by on regular basis??
Last year some MMO's I played like EverQuest2 and Matrix Online were suffering memory leak issues wich the Dev's weren't able to fix soon!
After a while a guy came up with a possible fix :) It seemed that Microsoft .NET framework version 1.0 and 1.1 had garbage collection issues wich caused memory leaking (garbage collection is dumping used code that's not needed anymore to clear up memory space).
That summer Microsoft released a beta version of .NET framework 2.0 wich solved those garbage collection issues!
After installing .NET framework version 2.0 the memory leaks were solved! :)
So you see..I'm running version 2.0 and monitored EVE.exe on his memory behaviour and it is nice and steady with me! No memory leak issue at all??
At this moment the final version .NET framework version 2.0 is available for download at: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
>>Remember that you need a legal copy of Windows XP Professional (or home edition) to be able to download software / driver updates! Microsoft tightend their security and illegal copies can only download security updates! (I had to buy a legal copy myself last summer  )
Hope it helps! Good luck!

Nice theory, but unfortunately it doesn't hold water. The .NET runtime system only affects .NET applications and has no impact on anything else in the system. The reason your examination of the memory usage seems to indicate there is an effect is because the leaky parts in the graphics system of the game are cleaned up as soon as you switch away from it to the application you're monitoring it with.
I suppose it's a Schr÷dingbug to a certain extent; a bug that disappears or changes its behavior as soon as you try to examine it.
That's not true! I had a monitor running on the background while playing eve for several hours! I work in the ICT myself and know how to monitor memory / CPU behaviour ;-)
And yes you're right, the framework only affects .NET applications. Don't know if EVE client is a .NET application (or has been ported to it yet??). I know EQ2 and MxO are. But as EVE Online has been launched in 2003 and the first version of Visual Studio .NET goes back to the end of 1999 - early 2000 I may hope it is!
greetings

Im just reading it ...hmmmm 
Weird that some have memory leak issues and some like me don't??
Guess they have something running on the background then that's eating up memory??

I'm happy to hear that it after all still is the solution for the memory leak issue :)
I'm guessing that the EVE Server side Software is written in Python and the EVE client written in .NET in combination with Python!
But that's something only the Devs can answer? I think it's pretty much clear that the .NET framework does have a great deal influence on the memory use / handling of the EVE client software like it had on EQ2 and MxO client last year!

That would explain partialy the CTD-issues some have with Ati Cards.
But we are talking also about the regular memory filling up by the EVE client itself!
That's something that to my knowledge graphic drivers haven't any influence on?
I myself have for over a year an GeForce6800GT ...but I haven't got any confirmation that people with NVidia cards have same issues??

XP home
2.6 Athlon? 1 gig memory 128mb card. Its normaly 180 to 220 but its over 300k now.
Since i installed the 2.0 it made it even worse now and shots upto 400k in 20mins that before it takes 4-5 hours.
I don't know what you exactly mean with the 180,220k thing ...and that it is now up to 400k in 20mins?? what? If its memory fluctuation ...then 400k is nothing??

Peter Armstrong? You talking about Mission ISK payouts here?? if so ..then upgrading to .NET framework 2.0 has absolutely nothing to do with it lol. That's something handled server side ..not on the client!

i dont know what u guys meant by memeory leak , but i have very serious issue ,whenever i play eve for a long time it tends take 90% memory what i have , can anyone give a solution to this probelm. and the issues is the same with new patch (3802)
my sys specs:
P IV 3.2E with 1mb L2,1gig ram,radeon 9600le with 256mb,17" monitor and windows xp sp2 with all latest updates and patches for the os and the game
When I monitored EVE (even after the latest patch) ..memory use is around 350MB constant?
Are you sure it's EVE.exe thats eating up all your memory?? And how did you check this??
And you are sure that you downloaded and installed version 2.0 of .NET framework? As you need to select it manualy to download it! It doesn't come with the standard updates!
