Hi all,
Have you ever encounter such situation? Sometimes games take twice or even all my RAM, so the system goes all laggy.
Is there any fix for that?

Did you do an unknown initial value scan? Because those will take up memory (until you doba normal scan)

If not then it might just be that the game has a lot of paged out memory.
In those cases you just have to wait and do other stuff till windows moves that memory back to disk

(How much RAM does your system have?)

I get it that it should take memory but on cheat engine, not the games themselves.

16gb, win7

It's called memory paging.
When memory isn't used often windows will write it to disk until it's actually accessed (like ce's memory scan)

So after a scan it will take a while for windows to write the non accessed memory back to disk. And while that is happening windows may have sent other more frequent accessed code to disk like game mechanics that had no use while scanning

so no option to improve besides more RAM?
