Necesse: Memory Leak? (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Thankfully they added a solution and now the game runs smooth even when you have 100% of the world discovered.
How to fix it
- Check your installed modifications, as specific custom content can cause severe latency and rubber banding right after spawning, even on brand new worlds. Disable suspected mods like Vulpes Nova to see if performance improves.
- Reduce the amount of active enemies in your game. Because everything in the world stays loaded regardless of what is visible on your screen, exploring more and spawning excessive mobs or multiple bosses increases both CPU load and memory usage, eventually leading to lower frame rates and lag.
- Use specific potions or modded trinkets designed to lower mob spawns if you notice your frame rate dropping from high enemy counts.
If it still doesn't work
- Test the game across different hardware configurations, such as various desktop and laptop setups ranging from older DDR3 systems with limited RAM to high-end DDR4 systems with multiple gigabytes of memory.
- Switch storage drives to see if moving the game between standard SATA drives, solid-state drives, or NVMe drives makes any difference in performance.
- Experiment with different graphics cards, ranging from entry-level options like a GT 710 to more powerful cards like an RX 580, to rule out hardware limitations.
What players reported
I keep seeing people say this game has a memory leak issue. Are the conditions known? I tried it on a DDR3 AMD and Intel desktop, and intel DDR3 laptop, a DDR4 intel laptop and a DDR4 intel and AMD desktop. I've done it with a single 8GB stick of DDR3 all the way up to a 4x8GB DDR4 system. I've tried SATA wafer and SSDs, I've tried an nvme. I've done it with a GT 710 2GD3, an RX 580 8GB and a…

For games like this where everything is loaded even if you don't look at it (seen on your screen) are permanently loaded into memory and CPU load. So the more you explore, the more memory and CPU load you'll have. Don't believe me? just make more mobs to spawn and you'll see how fast you'll experience FPS issues. What I do is use pots/modded trinkets that reduce mob spawn. I do this whenever I…
For me, I know this wasn't the issue. Even on new, fresh worlds the latency would kick in very soon after I spawn. I believe I've tracked the problem to a mod named Vulpes Nova. When enabled it causes pretty horrible rubber banding and latency, but after disabling it I've found it difficult to actually MAKE the game lag, even when forcing the spawn of lots of mobs/several bosses at once. I found…
