Launcher using lots of memory
ElectricSimmer:
It does. Not that much for me, but still excessive (800mb roughly)
markjs:
It's not a issue.
Well, you can call it bad optimized coding though.
You probably have a big of size of your .dbc's in DCCache;
After update 1.10.6 EA "optimized" the Launcher.
Before it would only read your installed content when you click to browse your content.
Now, it reads everything before the Launcher runs.
I have around 1.5Gb~ in my DCCache folder, so if open the Launcher it will eat my memory up to hell.
To avoid this, I move all my .dbc to another place and use the last .dbc to sum, leaving it at the DCCache folder and renaming it to the first index, meaning: "dcdc0";

The launcher reads the sims3pack files you have stored in Downloads. Create a folder under Downloads for already installed crap. Leave the sims3packs you want to install in downloads. Decrapify and open launcher. That way, it reads the sims3packs you want to install instead of every sims3pack you have. Easy peasy.

I don't have anything in my Downloads folder besides 6 sims3packs of houses, so I don't think that's the problem. My DCCache folder does have about 1Gb of stuff though, so maybe that's it :-\ I don't really get what you mean by "use the last .dbc to sum" though.

I see what you mean. I had to toss my dbc files due to them slowing down my game. Another way of keeping the loading times to a minimum would be to merge package files. Search the forum and you'll find instructions on how to do that. I believe that the newest dbc (the one with the largets number) is what markjs is referring to. I have not tested this method myself, as I have not had the need to using my method. But then again, my game is fully patched and updated so it could be due to game versions.
