Recount and its memory

Hey..

i just tried some gambling with recount and the data collection and mem using is the ****....even with "keep only bossfights" it collects data overall and the mem raises unil infinity

is there any way recount doesnt raise up with mem that high?

i know many recommend skada but i just love the much more easier handling (its my opinion so no trolling about skada is better and stuff)

maybe there is a rewritten verions with some uberfeatures XD

thx in advance

Clear your data regularly.

/recount reset

I'm not having problems with Recount at all

the prob is if my total mem using raises over 45mb my fps drops and i got "lagspikes" from time to time...my pc is just a bit "slow"

everything went fine back in the days of early mc XD

it would rly help if it would regulary erase the data from not boss fights itself (like the option "keep only bossfights" says but not does )

If Skada is totally off limits for you, I'm afraid you'll have to deal with the high memory footprint of Recount. As you've probably heard, Skada has a relatively lower footprint, but obviously it's not as mature.

Personal choice is personal.

Are you possibly collecting and keeping alot more data than you need? I used recount for the last few years (until switching to Skada around a week ago) and though it certainly does use more memory than Skada, it never grew beyond a certain point.

You might want to check if you have it set to capture and save mob data or something. Also turn on the garbage collection option if you don't have it on, and have it automatically delete time data (unless for some reason you absolutely NEED to keep that stored..but that's a huge memory user right there).

I switched to Skada myself for the memory reason, but not because Recount was going crazy on it...just because it does use alot more and I too found that keeping the interface light helps fps. I didn't want to give up any of my UI, so I had to find lighter weight addons that did the same jobs.

Go into the options ( /skada config, or via the Blizzard Options-Interface menu)
Select "General Options"
for data feed select "Raid DPS"

I'm assuming that's what you are looking for, although I never really messed with it yet myself, having only used this addon for a just under a week myself.

hey thats the thing..the data feed only works with an ldb addon like fortress or fubar2broker and i dont wanna install it...

but i guess i can say nvm...since i found this page....i've choosen the settings there and the mem doesnt raise over 25mb (atleast it didnt in my naxx 10man run recently)
