✭✭✭This is indeed joyous news! We can finally all stay in Cyrodiil for however long we want!!!!!
Let us all thank Chris D. (the man behind the Mac client) for his work and let us all thank @Moonraker for his work on the forums regarding the Mac client.
Let all Mac users enter Cyrodiil and turn the tide of battle!2 -
Randay✭✭✭let's wait for the 1.0.6 patch to be deployed for testing. but i am really looking forward to playing tomorrow
if less really is more, then maybe nothing is everything0 -
Monsoon✭✭✭I played for about 40 minutes in Cyrodill...no crash. Granted it was at noon and there were not many people but it seems to be holding0

You get a thousand cookies for this! It was heartbreaking to watch my available memory (16 GB total) go from 11 GB to 2 GB in about an hour...then crash."The Illuminati are very achievement focused. It's like Xbox - only everything is hardcore."

It will only ever use 4GB of RAM as it is a 32-bit process (Mac & PC). In OS X it's normal and efficient for it to use memory in this way. And it's not unavailable but means faster loading of apps etc."Fixed an issue that would cause a gradual memory leak during long play sessions."

Basically it retains process use in Inactive Memory and can reload it much faster if needed. Otherwise it will release it for other processes.
In Mavericks 10.9 it is even more efficient memory management with Compressed Memory.

Psychotius✭✭✭Extremely pleased with this update. I was even thinking of bumping my iMac to 32GB from 24 just to make a game session last a little longer, hopefully this will spare me that additional expenditure!I'm not as am as you drunk I think.0 -

The ESO clients (Mac & PC) are 32-bit process so limited to use only 4GB of available RAM so more RAM wont make any difference. I would usually recommend a minimum of 8GB to allow for overheads OS other apps etc. but it's not essential. So you have loads.Psychotius wrote: »Extremely pleased with this update.

The memory crash occurs when it hits that 4GB limit (in fact it will crash at a lower level due to overheads etc.) Usually around 2.7GB Real Memory.0 -
Wolfster✭✭✭The Mac client is most certainly NOT fixed. Better, but the memory leak is still there.1 -

Hhhmmmm, maybe something else hiccuped? Since release I've been able to get about 3.5-4 hrs game time in PvE before the memory leak crash and in Cyrodiil about 30-45 mins before crash (maybe even sooner with more players on screen).Publius_Scipio wrote: »

I need to try out Cyrodiil now that I have the latest patch.

I have experienced a similar gradual improvement which reflects the continued work on the issue.Windshadow_ESO wrote: »as with the other patches it gets a little better each time

It certainly took longer, including the best part of an hour bimbling around Cyrodiil - but it was the same crash.0 -
Monsoon✭✭✭I just crashed in Cyrodill after using a transit shrine...just saying
EDIT: that is after about 15 minutes playing in between being one shoted by the Vamp flavor-of-the-month. 30 vs 1 and we still all get killed by a single player...sounds like balanced
