Aali's Custom FF7/FF8 Driver / Memory Leak Fix
« on: 2013-04-18 04:19:36 »
I too was suffering from the troublesome memory leak issue and got used to it for a while, saving the game every chance I had and restarting. Now of course this fix may not work for everyone but based on my experience using a laptop with limited 2 GB of Ram it seems to work for me. Within the FF7_opengl.cfg file under "Advanced" options edit the section below to enable "Compress Textures". I went from crashing when the game maxed out my available RAM at 1.5 Gigs to no more than 700 MB of RAM in use. Hope this helps some of you with this issue. Thanks again to all the modders who helped make this project possible.

# store external textures in a compressed cache for increased performance
# compression is not lossless, some artifacts may appear when this option is in use
# texture cache does NOT update automatically if the source image changes, however, deleting anything from the cache
# will cause that file to be recreated from the source
compress_textures = yes
