Dealing with 8GB RAM limitations in Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Running a next-gen title on 8GB of RAM is a special kind of masochism. Entering the main city is a total nightmare; it's honestly pathetic. The Kingbank Yin Jue DDR4 3600 just doesn't have the headroom, with usage pinned at 95-99%, forcing the system into a brutal disk-swapping death loop. I tried killing every single background app, but the game still grabbed 7.5GB on its own, which left me feeling completely hopeless. I eventually went into the registry to tweak the memory compression strategy and disabled all the useless Windows telemetry services to scrape together another 500MB of breathing room. Task Manager showed the memory pressure drop from 'Critical' to 'Medium'. Loading is still slow as molasses, but at least it doesn't hard-lock anymore. I did break my network driver while stripping the OS, but a quick reinstall fixed it. RAM temps are 42-48℃ and CPU load is hovering around 60-75%. I exported the config just in case, though 8GB is still a huge bottleneck.
