Game is getting memory hungry

More mods = more RAM. It has to put all the custom features you added on standby into memory. That's just how it is. Time to scale back on the tweaking!

Also, defer to my guide if you want to gain quite a bit of performance on Linux:

 

Thank you for the explanation, Vintage seems to handle content in a... very unusual way I guess.
That said, the solution there didn't work for me and I'm not sure why - my game kept freezing at the title screen with that option on.

There is nothing unusual about it. Any mod in any game whatsoever will increase consumption of system resources. Can you tab out into the terminal when it stops responding and make a screenshot?

That's the thing, I can't. VS was freezing BADLY to the point that either I had to wait for it to crash, or forcibly shut down my computer. I removed a few mods, reduced some settings and it got to "you've been playing for too long, I'm gonna stutter and crash without warning" BUT it takes hours to do this now. I'm not sure if it was the Fancy Sky mod with HD textures, or a combination of it with slightly heavier settings. (also I stream the game, so there's also that in the background, and i started to close my browser too before loading a map.)

While it's more stable now, I'm planning for my modlist to be lighter after the 1.18 update since I'll have to make a map anyway. I've been heavily modding stuff for a few years, but Vintage is likely the first to get this memory hungry SPECIALLY considering how stronger my hardware is right now compared to previous iterations.

Edit: I also increased the swap memory from 2 to 4 gb before it stopped misbehaving like that.

Edit 2: Wait, you mean with the option on your other post? I'll try to get some info.

Ok, it took me forever, but this seems to be happening:
(I usually need the game on a secondary smaller screen because I stream it)

And after the final message, it is basically frozen on a black screen. Not even closing it normally is possible, I have to use stuff like the Kill command.

Tried it a second time without messing with resolution, and it freezes completely after the missing dragonflies mention without any other message if I even open the save list. My game is installed on a folder, as a "portable" version with links to all the main usual locations intact. Saves, screenshots, mods, the works. While I do have a large number of mods installed, I don't think they are doing anything on the title screen for the game to just stop like that.

Hey there.  Did you ever get anywhere with this?  

I just had to do a clean install of OS - Win 10.  My PC is not epic, but I've got more RAM than I need, and a GTX1650 Super, Ryzen5 3600.  Game was running like a breeze before the new install.

 

I can't get LAN to work, so I'm having to reload repeatedly trying new things, and the load leaves time to go get dinner. Then, when I finally do click the go button, boom, spinny thing and half an hour to exit, or hard reboot because I can't even get to task manager most times.  I'm at a complete loss.  I can't find errors anywhere. My drivers are installed. 

BTW, LAN still stuck on "my PC hates life and is actively refusing connections." If anyone reading this has suggestions, I'm grateful.

Thanks for any help, and best of luck to anyone struggling. Much thanks.
Magz
