I also have similar problems. I posted in a separate thread but ill post here also.
Its fine right after ive started the game but after doing a couple of jumps trough some systems the fps goes down and the computer starts becoming sluggish, constantly accessing the hdd. A look in windows "Task Manager" and "Processes" it says eve is using around 400mb of ram but checking the "Performance" it tells me the system is using 1-1.6 gb of page file. Not running any other applications using the ram I conclude its eve eating the resources. Running two clients is impossible while I used to be able to run two clients without problem and 3 with a bit of struggle.
I only have 1gb of ram and basically all (5mb unused) of it gets used when Im running eve meaning i have more than 500mb reading from hdd pagefile..
System is x2 4200+, 1gb ram, x1650xt. Omega drivers, XP. Premium graphics and played in window mode. Shadow setting is off and HDR likewise. Ive tried running the cache in low, normal, high and off. Doesnt seem to make much difference. My main concern is the fact that eve shows as using 400mb memory at most but the performance is showing as system memory being used up completely. In fact after a while the performance window show as using 1.4gb of memory while eve itself shows as using 75mb wich is highly unusual..
I just reproduced the error to produce a log file. Running two clients they both show as using around 50mb memory (under processes) but the "performance" is showing that im using a total of 1.8gb system memory. All of my 1gb ram is being used.
The question still is why does the exefile show as using so little memory (normaly it used around 150-400mb) while basically ALL the system resources are being used? And why does the problem start after a while? It seems the session changes are whats causing the problem however.
The error message I get when closing the client at this point reads(translated from swedish) "instruction on 0x020d7b2f refered to memory 0x00000000. Action could not be made. Memory could not be "read"."
edit: and by the way the cache setting have no change on this problem. off, low, normal. it all seem to produce the same effect.
