just as it sounds, the game takes up 97% of my ram, [i have 8gb] and is very stuttery because of that, nearly unplayable and with frequent crashing due to memory usage. cant even play the game. amazing.

windows 7 sp1, latest updates

amd fx6300 six core processor at 3.5ghz

8gb kingston ddr3 ram

1050ti, latest drivers

jesus christ i just want to play the game at a frame rate above 20

 
i wish i could afford more ram

just cant happen

edit: really cant afford to pay 66$ for an ssd+more ram, might not sound like much but just buying the game took some savings

If you want to post a link to a published Speccy report, I can give you a good rundown on how to optimize your system. Instructions are in the Sticky thread.

 
i know how computers work, 'optimizing' my computer wont do anything, 7dtd just devours all of my ram

- - - Updated - - -

but you might as well post the link, even though im sure it wont do anything to stop 7dtd from devouring my ram

 
literaly everything is on the lowest, especially texture res and view distance

edit: bloom is on and the resolution is 1280x1024, everything else is at the lowest

Have you tried defragmenting your HDD and if so what kind of defragmenting did you do?

You have a better graphics card than I do and yet I now run the game smoothly since A17.4

I only get stuttering when I turn on specific graphic options in game.

Do you do a custom profile for 7D2D using Nvidia control panel?

Also can you take a screen shot of your setting in 7D2D. I would like to see your setting, problem might be wrong settings.

 
no, it has nothing to do with my graphics card, its an issue with the game taking up all of my ram for no good reason

like is said before EVERYTHING is at the lowest possible setting

People with lesser systems than you appear to be running the game fine AND offering solutions and or tools that may help. Instead of stubbornly blaming the game it might be useful to try listening....

In that manner I'll offer my suggestion. Try turning resolution down. My wife who only has 6 gig of RAM on a 6 year old laptop, found that really helpful and was able to turn textures back up. She has a little stutter but its playable.

 
A 1050 is bottom-end for it's bracket, but it should still be capable of 40-60 FPS at 1080p with moderate settings.

The game relies heavily on CPU and RAM, and if your HDD is slow, that will affect gameplay as well.

I offered to help further, but without detailed information from the Speccy report, there isn't much I can tell you to do other than upgrade the core hardware.

Does the game use too much memory, or do I not have enough... Deep thought...

Do games "reason"?... Deeper thoughts...

Ok, your obviously correct, the game is just unplayable. All the rest of us that are playing without issues must be doing something terribly wrong.

One has to wonder since we all downloaded the same game, what is the difference...hmmmm. If we could just come up with some variables between systems that can and systems that can't play we'd be on to something.

 
Minimum recommended is 8GB for a17.

Hell, I have an i5 laptop with 8GB RAM and a Intel HD4400 fake GPU and I can get 40FPS stable on it. Took some tweaking, but I did it.

We've offered to help, and you're refusing it.

I'm done here.
