I am needing to find out how you can change the amount of script memory dedicated to mods above 999. Assuming this is my problem anyways, I have more than enough memory in my computer, 1536, and I honestly dont have a ludicrous amount of mods, but I am having memory problems. I am assuming there has to be a way to raise it above 999, because I cant imagine I am the only one who needs more than 999 memory. Any help is appreciated, ty in advance.

sorry Dooble i can't help you with that one.

does anyone have a fix for the titan panel action buttons covering up the bottom the chat box? Just wondering. I have just begun to search the forums here for an answer, but haven't seen one yet. Everything works well, its just annoying to have to

tks in advance for your time

When you login to the WOW main screen and you are at your character list, push the addons button. In the top right is the amount of memory you can offer your UI. Usually you don't have to go above 100 with even big compilations. You can input 0 in that box and WoW will dedicate whatever memory is needed to the UI.

Sven, get a mod called SCCN Chat mod. It will allow you to flop the textbox on top of the chatbox. Or, just unlock the chat box and move it. Right click the tab called general to unlock it.

Thanks a bunch Vampyrate =] I will check out SCCN Chat mod and give it a go.

Thanks again

Thanks Vamp, ill try it and get back to you, but I already have it turned up, and its still reading at @40mib(and btw, can someone tell me what the "i" in the middle stands for? i know mb, but have asked and no one seems to know what the i means), which is in the Orange for me, and like I said, I dont have an insane amount of mods or anything, so Im just trying to figure out what the problem is.

Grab a mod called titan panel or fubar. Once you get it, look for either titan performance or fubar performance. These utilities allow you to monitor the memory usage of your UI when in game. They can show you how much you are using.

If I want to adjust my memory, I login to WOW and get to the char select screen. I hit the addons button and change the amount of RAM in the upper right. Make sure you hit enter after adjusting the number so that it "sticks". Click okay at the bottom and login to a character.

Yes, i know exactly what you are saying, i use FuBar with PerformanceFu, that is whhere I am getting my information about how much memory i am using. I also know what you are saying about where to input memory for add-ons. What i am saying is, no matter what I input there my PerformanceFu is reading the same @40MiB(would still like to know what the "i" stands for). And again, I am sort of baffled because I am not using an absurd amount of mods, and at times before with other chars, I know I have used alot more mods than I am using now. I guess what I should be asking is, what else effects the script memory, assuming thats the only thing that the memory in FuBar is basing its information on, or what else could be my problem or affecting my memory problem. Keep in mind, I have more than enough memory in my comp, 1500 to be exact, and even more so, I had 1024 in there when this problem started and installed another 1024 (replaced one of the other memory inputs bring the difference to @1500), and the information on FuBar stayed exactly the same. only other info i can give, but dont see how this could affect my memory, is i switched fomr a 13" CRT monitor to a 19" Widescreen HD 1440x900 monitor, but have a GeForce 5500 and it shuld be able to push it just fine(though I am having FPS issues because of this)and this timethat I started having these problems. Also, it started around the time I installed Burning Crusade, though again, I dont really see how that could be a factor. Also, just for referrence sake, my specs are 3.06ghz, 160 gb HD with the amount of memory I mentioned before. I have been playing WoW for over a year and a half, and have never had lag problems or memory problems before, it has always ran smooth as could be, so you see why I am getting soo frustrated over this, :P. even talked to a comp guy at a store and he couldnt really tell me what the issue is, so I am just reaching out for any inout someone could give me. Again ty in advance.

Have u tried fiddeling with ure video options, scaling the performences set to HIGH to a lower setting ?? I have a GF5600 with 256mb ram and 1G ram in the computer and i cant run WOW with all settings set to HIGH/HIGHEST.

Have u tried just disabling EVERY SINGLE addon u have installed, running the game and seeing if the problem persists ??

If it DOES then it isnt ure addons but mayby some mallware/spyware, viruses or the likes, a new grafic card could solve the probs or the lack ofram in ure comp (by the way 1024+1024 ram sums 2048 ram and NOT 1500, mayby some corrupt ram ?)

If the problem DOSNT persist then try enabling one addon at a time till u find the one making the problems and NUKE it to hell :)

Are u running Messenger, Filesharing progs or the like in the background using ure bandwidth ???

I did that once and i had major lag ingame !!

Those are some of the solutions i can come with atm.

And by the way if u change the max memory in at ure char selection screen to 0 instead of 999 it will use what ever it needs, but as stated before u shouldent use more than 100 MIB (MIB = Men in Black ???) MIB might be a french short for megabyte ??

When im running the game at full with auctioneer and all the coollooking stuff i use 70-75MIB ingame arcording to FUBAR but in my task manager in windows i use about 350-500MBs of memory !!

Ok, i have tried messing with my Vid options and have them turned almost all the way down, not for memory purposes, but for fps, because of my new monitor and the new resolution i am pushing, different problem but yes, my setting are not the issue.

Yes, i have tried turning all of my mods off to see if it would run fine, and it did, so it does have something to do with the mods. But, I did not try turning them on one at a time and seeing if any one in particular was causing the problem, and I will do that and get back. Although I have tried a few of them that i figured might be the problem, seeing as how they are memory high, like Auctioneer and Advanced Bags Plus, and those only reduced my MiB by @ 2points each.

Also, i know how to add, :P, and realize 1024 + 1024 = 2048, but if you read my post, the new 1024 card replaced a 256 card, so I didnt actually raise it by 1024, although my calculations were incorrect, becuase I actually have 1792 memory and not 1500, but either way, that is not an issue either.

i have tried inputting 0 instead of the 999 and was all the same. But now see, you use 70-75 MiB, what color code is that for you and why would it not be the same for me? Mine was crashing at @50 MiB. it runs at @40 now and is in the orange, so not sure I understand why or how it works like that.

I am not the most computer literate person, so where can I find my Windows task Manager at exactly, this might at least help me eliminate options in trying to pin down whats causing this.

I did a one by one check and nothing was out of the ordinary, each mod was about 1-2 MiB, with the exception of Auctioneer which was around 10 MiB. Even so, you have less memory in your comp than I do, yet yours runs at 70 MiB just fine, so I am not sure what is going on there. Possibly other programs running, but only other thing I run at the same time as WoW is my internet browser, but I have always done that and never had problems, and besides, even when I turn it off, it acts the same. Again, if I could look into my Taks Manager, maybe I could find smething there. Thanks again in advance for your input.

CTRL+ALT+DEL at ure desktop and there should be an option for the Task Manager !!

Auctioneer will only be memory abusive when u activate the AH in game thus giving lag/memory spikes...not before nor after i belive

70-75 in memory ursage gives ORANGE to RED in the latency bar, for me running the game with 90mib allowed....!!

How much ram does ure Graficcard have ??

I run about 2-3 open internet sessions in the background while playing and that gives no trouble for me either and should not be the case for u !!

Try doing an update for ure addons and if u can replace non-aced ones with ace2 addons from http://files.wowace.com/ This might lower ure memoryursage ingame...but ure memory shouldent really be the issue here.

Have u done a virus scan lately ?? Checked for mall/spyware, viruses and loggers might be an idea !!

You could try downloading an addon called Warmup. It shows how long each addon takes to load and the amount of memory it uses, which could help narrow down some of the problems.

OOOOOOOHHHH. I see what the OP is saying now. You were saying in game your UI usage hangs around 40 MB and you were wondering why. I thought you were getting STUCK at only being able to allocate 40 megs.

40MB on a 1 gig of ram PC is next to nothing. That is not high usage at all. It's about mid level usage. A UI taking up 70-90 megs is high, a ui taking 10-25 is low. 30-60 is mid range. 40 is not a bad number at all. You should also not see much in the way of performance issues with 40MB dedicated to the UI on a 1 gig of ram box if you're just running wow. WOW itself tends to take up about 400-500 MB including the UI. So, provided you are not killing the other 1/2 of your ram with 2 IE windows open, Ventrilo and X-fire all open, you should be fine.

Let's also confuse MB for the UI and latency. Only ping causes the latency bar to go from green to yellow to red. That has nothing to do with the RAM being used for WoW or the UI.

Ya, my latency is just fine, never have problems with it, and only have lagging problems at certain times, which Im convinced is because of my UI. My vid card does only have 128mb, and B66129 mentioned his has 256, and comparing our overall specs, it would seem to be that is my problem. Seeing as how he is able to run about twice as much, then that would seem to be the problem. So, thanks everyone for your input, I am going to try that and see if that is the case, I kind of needed a new one anyways, so that I could get one with a DVI input to go with my new monitor. If someone does not think this is the case, please speak freely, but for now ill go with that.

Well i guess i should mention that on a good day i have about an average of 15-20FPS and in party/raid i have 3-7FPS, ie. lag, bumpy gameplay and the likes !!!

Well, again that adds up, because being as how were in the same memory range for our respective vid cards, I run about the same fps. Mine runs in the 20's inside cities, but outside goes down to 10-15.

Definitely get a 256MB card and always stay up to date with the video drives. Look at http://guru3d.com/
