Im running into Issues whit the EvE Client when im Multiboxing EvE. I was able to run 14 Clients on one Grid whit a usage of 50 to 60% of my 64gb of Ram. Each client needing about 1gb to 2gb Max in August. Now this is the new World for me: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/c/5/5/c552bd59077309a8506ff01ae69f212d0ae980f8.png) When i undocked in 1dq the Ram usage once rise for 1 client to 4.4gb wich froze my PC. Had to hard reset the PC to get it running again. I don´t know when this started. I took a break starting on July through Oktober barely playing. Is this now normal now or is this some kind of a new bug ? Or is my PC needed of a Upgrade ? My Rig: Intel 12900k (did some stresstesting no errors found max 80c) Nvidia 3080TI (same as CPU max 90c) 4x 16gb Ram (2x Samsung 2x Corsair) @3200mhz Eve Preview is also runing but whitout overlays, i only use it for Client shortcut Numpad 1 is Client 1 and so on. Edit: Client settings full Potato mode whit Weapon effects on (need to see whos shooting me ) and a Resolution at 2560x1440 ---

I have the same issue though i’m running everything at the lowest possible settings, each client is 1.5gb-3gb memory usage… this is a major issue. ---

So, since the changes around October (IDK what they specifically were - I only run a few clients) But… People I know who run 15-20 Clients were having trouble with 64GB. One guy moved to a 128 GB setup and his stability increased - another guy moved to over this ammount but had to use a special hardware piece to achieve this. I also know a guy who runs 30 accounts, and he use less ram, a gen 9 intel chip and 1000 series nvidia card, but is using a board with server chipsets and components. Another Guy I know who runs 10-20 depending on activity, rather than upgrade, plugged in a second computer and installed “windows without borders” to access them from the same mouse keyboard monitor setup. ---

They added volumetric clouds which are always on by default unless you set your graphics shader to “low” (aka: potato) mode. They may have introduced other changes as well. Most of us have seen a 25-33% performance hit since October. ---
