D2R - 5Gb per client

Feedback on D2R

Been trying to get D2R running today. Bottleneck for me was that each client is using 4 Gb (running) - 5.5Gb (loading) of RAM. I can get 3 clients running on my 16Gb machine but it often lags and clients crash. Try running more clients than I have RAM for causes an instance to immediately crash.

Present limit for me (GTX 1070 (latest drivers), Win 10 updated, Ryzen 7 1700) is 2 clients on a 16 Gb machine. I'd guess an 8Gb machine can only reliably run 1 client.
I've ordered 32Gb so I'll try remember update this but if other folk could list how many clients they are running and on how much RAM that would be useful.

Mem peaks are at max when client is loading so I've found loading 1 slot at a time from Inner Space -> Character Set Slots to be much more stable than trying to run Character Sets from ISBoxer Toolkit.


Thanks as always for your ongoing work Lax.

Put the 32Gb in.

3 clients in game (running) using ISBoxer/Inner Space is using 19Gb of RAM with no lag and no crashes.

Still getting clients locking up regularly (greyed out) when you try to load them at the Battle.net client launcher but that's no big deal - I launch each client individually expecting each to sometimes take multiple attempts.

Suspected RAM requirement

2 clients : 16Gb
3 Clients : 24+Gb
4 CLients : 32Gb

I'm running 6 clients on one PC with 32gb of ram @ 90% total usage.

Game is far from optimised. Following guide helped a lot :

As an aside while I'm posting following is a great cheat sheet for the game :

does anyone know the max amount of clients you can run from one pc and connect to bnet?
I recall back in the OG D2 we could run something like 8 I think was.
