Kay so thats not alot.

But if there's one thing we know from Steam, the problem with Steam is that it can take up to 150mb of RAM. This is not good. Origin on average uses 72mb, this is way too bloody much for a program thats supposed to run in the background, design a 'lite' mode on it or something. Just a thought.

Man, all these RAM problems are such a pain in the ass with my 16GB of the stuff.

Yeah I noticed the memory hog that Origin is also. Why does something that basically does nothing but facilitating your connection to multiplayer, take up 100MB of ram? That sounds ridiculously excessive.

You mirror my thoughts, friend.

No but this game doesn't require a supercomputer to run... Hell, it's built to run on 7 year old consoles with 512mb of RAM. On PC the game wouldn't have been written with anything more than 2GB (because of x86 limitations, and, well because it's Bioware) anyway, so even with a measley 4GB of RAM (which, well, if you're not running with that amount anyway, you're doing it wrong) you'll be fine.

If Origin is THAT much of a hog though, try turning the in-game Origin off (in the settings somewhere), I've heard this helps at least if you're having problems with FPS and such.

Agreed, Origin only needs to be active to start the game, and to invite friends (which by the way is pointless right now as no ones frineds list is working because their Friends server is down). So tell it not to use Origin in-game, once it loads, and you'll be fine.

COG Symbol > Settings > "In Game" Tab up the top > Enable Origin In Game ... untick it ... viola!

There is supposed to be a way to shut Origin down while in the game.

Your being rather ignorant. 2GB can easily be clogged up even if your as thorough as I am.

I have all processes off,  I used config to shut down all services on every startup, the only liability is Origin.

I'm on Vista with 2gb, not everyone is full of cash. A 'measley' 4GB of RAM is a stretch in the imagination of alot of people here. My computer runs ME3 fine, I dont have issues with it. I have issues with Origin, a background software program, taking up 100mb of RAM. If this problem doesn't effect you, fair enough, you have no need to comment. But please if it doesn't effect you dont tell me 'I'm doing it wrong' because I can't afford a certain amount of RAM.

16GB of RAM is serious overkill anyway. You should be able to turn off Origin in game, click on the sprocket and there's a setting, supposidly. I have not looked for it yet, as I am not at home.

I have never come across any game that ever uses more than a few GB of committed memory at a time. 8GB RAM costs around $30 in the US and should be more than enough for gaming. I was even able to get my hands on 16GB laptop memory (typically a bit more costly than desktop memory) for $70 on sale at Newegg some time ago.

In my case, I was pleasantly surprised to note that Origin only uses 80-100MB RAM. This is not a resource hog IMO.

I just thought I'd check and it's using up just shy of 1GB on my computer. Seriously, wtf is it doing?! Yet another reason why it's not welcome...

[xrogaan]

Origin must load the QT library which isn't small. QT is an opensource GUI framework and isn't shipped with windows. Pretty much all software that uses its own library for graphical rendering must load it on app launch and keep it in memory. Not a big deal.

Impossible.

Take it up with Task Manager; it reported 952,000 K (approx.)

The memory it uses isn't a big deal. Its the system freezing at the app launching which is weird. I mean, I can't do anything for about 30 seconds... That is not normal behavior. The freeze only means that origin is using everything my computer can give for a limited amount of time, and it shouldn't. I mean, i've got a 4-core cpu... It also mean that it's using the hard drive at full capacity, probably for reading.

I'm not really sure what's your problem.  I saw how much memory it was using so I reported it.  That's all there is to it.

I'm happy to say I haven't encountered that particular problem myself: that sounds rather irritating.

I've only got 6gb of ram, so for a lame chat program/modern day "Kali", it is an issue.

Well I'm glad to hear it!  No, it doesn't seem to be normal, it's hovering around 80MB now that I've restarted it so I figure it was a random memory leak of some sort.  Yet another thing for me to keep an eye on, though...

[Totally_Mad_Rat]

I have a different problem. Idle Origin uses 25% of CPU. I have Core i5-2500.
