How much memory?
Just wondering how much memory Guild Wars takes up for everyone else out there.
Please say if you got factions+prophecies or just one or the other, and how much of each continent you have explored. I just re-installed Guild Wars Prophecies and it currently takes up 610 MB. |

Mine's well over 2 Gigs as well.
I'd actually like to see if anyone's tested to see how much RAM GuildWars uses while idle. I would image it's at least 300MB of RAM, and in the heat of action it's probably over 500MB. |

On topic: Mine takes up 2,433,155,072 bytes (not including screenshots). Oh you want it in GB? ~2.26GB. I have both Factions and Prophecies, but that doesnt really make a difference. If you had only Prophecies you would still have many Factions files such as the weapons, character models, armors, skins etc as you would need to be able to view them if a Factions character travels to Prophecies. |

Heh, I thought you were asking about RAM. Who cares about diskspace anymore?
Mine topped out at 377 megs so far tonight. |

Shouldn't this be in the off-topic section? Oh well, I have nfi how much space GW is taking up on my computer {it would be alot though. And I mean alot.}, because 1) I couldn't care less, 2) Theres lots of free space, and 3) It's a 'family' computer and I don't take care of the technical stuff (I usually have to fix some of the crap though)

I think the question was misunderstood somewhere. Halc wants to know how much RAM GW uses, not how much hard drive space. I saw some one say 2gigs, and was like "No way! That cant be right"
This is mine(Prophecies only) At login screen In Ascalon, US dist 1, 2pm GMT Rereading post, Im confused now, so I looked, and my GW folder is 3.3 GB, but Ive converted my screens to .jpg, to save space http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/4213/gwpicscp6.jpg Last edited by Gorebrex; Jul 27, 2006 at 01:24 PM // 13:24.. |

Last time I checked, GW was using just over 2GB of drive space. I have both GW:P and GW:F.
As far as memory goes... I haven't checked it mid-game, because I'm too busy playing, but I've checked it before and after. Before I start the game, I usually shut down any unnecessary services and programs, so I start with a ~150MB baseline. After shutting down GW, it usually reports a peak memory usage of ~600-620MB. Glad I've got 768MB of RAM...hasn't ever had to page on me yet. So the max usage for GW on my computer is 450-470MB of memory. I think it hovers around ~350MB idling (200MB + 150MB baseline)...I'll have to check when I get home. |
