Is there a way to see how much memory a specific addon is using?

THBronx · March 2016

I'm having problems while playing in pvp @Cyrodiil, especially when fighting big groups, so knowing which addons makes the biggest impact I can just disable it during pvping.

I usually disable minimaps, maps addons, Master Merchant, AUI, but my fps is still droping a bit, with screen freezing.

Thanks!

I don't think so but you can bump up the available memory for addons by changing the 'SET LuaMemoryLimitMB "64"' to something bigger.

I'm using 256 and haven't see any low lua memory warnings in a long time ...

No, but you can see it for the whole Addons (+ UI). some addons shows it. And you can deduct it by enabling/disabling one by one.

Hm yeah I already increased my LUA memory limit to stop the LUA messages, but I found a lot of ppl complaining about bad server / game performance while playing in Cyrodiil and for now the "solution" I found is:

- use the Addon Clearer to add a button to select / de-select all the addons at once;
- use the Circonians Addon Selector to create "addons pack" presets.

So now I've two "addons pack" presets: one for PvE with pretty much everything turned on and one for PvP with a very few and essentials addons turned on.

My perfomance isn't 100% yet while pvpving, but increased a lot by doing this.

Thank you both for the support! =D

Regarding 'SET LuaMemoryLimitMB "64"' to something bigger.' comment from above...does this simply stop the UI Error popup, or will there be a performance improvement? What would you recommend setting it at? 256, 512 or something else?

I recently added a minimap addon to a handful of other addons I was already using and I notice a drastic hit to fps/glitchy movement around the same time. I turn addons on and off to boost performance when it gets too bad. The PC is a damn nice PC that was built specifically for ESO. It just seems in the last few months to have really taken a hit in performance (both PvE and PvP). I reinstalled ESO on it's own dedicated 250GB SSD and have 16GB ram, plus 4GB on the R9270x GPU (and fx-8350 AMD). Is it at the point I need to add another GPU or upgrade already? Seems to me like my machine should still be more than capable of running ESO without this stuttering.

The "SET Lua memory..." thing is to stop the UI error popups.

For FPS problems (and the problem is not your computer, but the game that isn't very well optimized yet), read this post on reddit: Are you having FPS issues wih ESO on a PC? Well here's an in depth Fix along with performance upgrades + tweaks to Graphics.

I read and I only made changes that I thought necessary, always giving preference to maintain the most quality possible. I got an improvement in performance, but in PvP (with a lot of ppl around) there is no solution: I have to disable almost all addons.

I really hope that with the next DLC, the 64b client will be a lot more stable, giving us a lot less headache.

Thank you very much for this info!
