It’s fine. We all make mistakes and yes sir I have. I just monitored my RAM in an old project. UE4 was using an average of 950 MB of RAM and it never reached a GB. Also, it didn’t go over 50% of consumption. It hung around at an average 48% RAM usage; however my CPU did something quite interesting that I haven’t witnessed myself. It averaged around 53% and sometimes jumped up to 59%. The editor hung up for a second and the CPU numbers dropped to around 13% and then shot back up once the editor was responsive again. Now if I remember correctly, I heard that a CPU can cause hang ups on games and I’m sure this applies to UE4 also, but the numbers have to be pretty high for that to happen. Aside from the two moments it hung up, the editor never froze up entirely. It’s still responsive.
It’s alright. We all make mistakes and yes sir I have. I’ve monitored my RAM usage. When playing in the editor my RAM usage averaged around 950 MB (RAM usage 48%) but it never exceeded a GB (or RAM usage of 50%). However, my CPU did something that I have never witnessed myself. My CPU usage averaged around 55% and sometimes jumped up to 59%. Also, the editor hung up on me twice and during the times it hung up, the CPU usage dropped to around 13% and shot back up once the editor became responsive again. I believe I’ve read somewhere that the CPU can affect games and cause them to hang up momentarily so I’m sure that this applies to UE4 as well. However, I think that the CPU numbers have to be pretty high for that to happen. Also, as of right now, the editor is responsive. I’ve decided to sit through the freezes and see if it becomes responsive again and it has. So far so good. I hope.
At this time, we’ve been unable to reproduce the issue, and it seems like you are saying your editor is becoming responsive again. I am going to mark this topic as resolved for the meantime. If the issue persists, or gets worse, feel free to reopen this thread and I can continue to investigate, but without being able to reproduce the issue on our end, I’m limited as far as what suggestions I can offer.
Have a great day
