I'm running two clients of EVE Online, and then some; occasionally. It will sometimes warn me of 'slow performance' despite the fact that my memory is in check and CPU Usage is nowhere near 50%. Usually around the 20% mark. I keep clicking on "Keep current display settings, and do not display this message again". But it keeps coming back every session. It's absolutely annoying as shit. How do I get it to phuq off permanently?
It keeps recommending I turn of Windows Aero extensions. I'm gaming, like I said, two clients of EVE running simultaneously, sometimes Skype, TS. It's butter smooth. Windows 7 is being a C-word.
Do you just click the "Keep color scheme and don't show this message again" in the popup? or did you turn off windows troubleshooting , like it's suggested here?
Yeah. Believe me, already tried that. Unchecked the option under the Maintenance section. Showed up earlier today. This is an annoying little shit-biscuit. Tried putting certain apps in 'Disable Desktop Composition' mode. Nothing happened after that, either.
The problem is probably Windows 7's ancient virtual memory model. Make sure you have recommended amount of disk swap. You could also be low on GPU VRAM when running apps in windowed mode. This warning is disabled in fullscreen as Windows desktop composition (Aero) isn't really running. Disabling composition globally do free up some VRAM in desktop mode, but not much.
EDIT: I believe you disable Desktop Composition globally by unticking it in System -> Performance -> Visual Effects.
Yep my windows 7 is currently using close to 5GB of memory. With svchost is consuming 2GB of that on its own. This basicly allways happens wenn i cold boot my system. It has something to do with updates, and compiling windows modules etc. But since i have 16GB installed, i dont realy feel anything from it.
Virtual memory should be a thing of the past. a system with 4 or 8 Gig really doesn't need swap. My PC runs 16 Gig no swap and I run often 2 VM's running 4 Gig each.
Usually with the older version of Windows I am a little heavy handed with virtual memory due to the OS not really being great at memory allocation, reservation, and releasing.
With anything less than 16GB on Win7 I would certainly dial up the virtual memory... If you're not using it or don't need it, it wont be in use... It's the times you do end up needing it and don't have it that it shafts you.
I fail to see the harm in attempting to adjust a system setting to alleviate the problem. If it doesn't work he can revert the setting and go back to the drawing board.
The only advice I gave him was advice straight out of the manual for optimal pagefile allocation. For systems with >1GB RAM it's Min: RAM+300 and Max: RAM*(2.5-3)
Topic cleaned stay on topic and think in solutions thanks.
I would recommend to op to check task manager to see if there is any task eating his cpu or memory. Like i said above Windows7 lately eats allot of ram at cold boot. That can take as long as 2 hours.
Well, i've got 8GB, and i've monitored resources quite thoroughly while running two clients of EVE. There's nothing unusual about resource usage. It's It barely gets to the halfway point with TS3, Skype, and/or Steam running all at once. I've simply used the Disable Desktop Composition option for the EVE launcher. The notifications never pop up, but i found it extremely odd how they didn't go away, even after changing the proper settings in Security and Maintenance in the Control Panel. I don't understand it. Because of the changed setting, it now gets rid of the Aero extensions on the windows for the game once launched. Perhaps this is simply a bug specific to the game? I've really done a lot on my system, running a few instances of Adobe CC programs, amongst other things. And it never skips a beat. Runs very well. I'm starting to think this is a bug of some sort. Because it really doesn't add up when i'm monitoring my resources.
