Lua Limit

Is there any way to do away with that dialogue that pops up asking to increase Lua memory limit? That crap is super intrusive and I hit it by accident countless times during combat or other important activities which makes it /reloadui. Anyone knows any addon? It is infuriating.

    I had this problem too and modified a file called UserSetting.txt

    below is the source of the info, i set the LUA memory to 1024 and never again got the popup.

    And what if you don't use addons such as myself?
    Even when not using any addons at all I still get this notification popping up on my screen...

    The game consumes your physical memory for ingames tuff, even if it's no addon the game source for the inventories etc. is using the lua script language and thus using lua memory.
    If you do a lot and play long time the lua memory will be filled and at any time it can be full.

    If you are not using any addon:
    So just logout, change the UserSettings.txt"as described in the posts before, and login again and you're fine.

    Go into ...

    Documents > Elder Scrolls Online >Live

    ... Find the UserSettings file and open it in notepad, in there you should find the following line:

    SET LuaMemoryLimitMB "64"

    (the number might be different but it's that line), then increase the number, if you have a lowish memory machine i would recommend about 512, if you have a machine with more memory then anything up to about 2048 should be no problem.

    Got the same problem and don't use addons as well, the general LUA setting is just too low. Changing it as described by @Belidos (post above) to 256 and upwards solves the problem. (At least I never got another of those messages, plus it eases lag a little tiny bit)

    As @Elsterchen said, it should fix memory limit messages for non-addon users too.

    LUA isn't just used for add-ons, it's actually a full scripting language, similar in some ways, but very different in others to C#, if Elder Scrolls Online accepts add-ons in LUA format then it's a very good chance that it's used in other areas of the game, especially things like the interface, quests, and many of the game mechanics, it's just that we don't see them as LUA files because they are hidden in encrypted archives in the data files.

    So as LUA is used throughout the engine then changing the memory limit for LUA should theoretically help with performance of all those hundreds (if not thousands) of background scripts running while we play the game.
