Memory Leak & Error 17 on Tab S9 FE (8GB RAM) after Region Switch & Using HQ
Hi Everyone,
I’ve been monitoring the performance on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE (8GB RAM) since the Services 2.0 update. I’ve noticed a significant Memory Leak that seems to be triggered by switching maps and visiting the Global HQ.
My Observations:
- Baseline: After a fresh restart, the system shows 4.5 GB of free RAM.
- Startup: Opening SimCity drops free RAM to 2.7 GB (Game uses ~1.8 GB).
- Activity: After visiting Regions or the Global HQ, the free RAM fluctuates heavily and drops down to 2.1 GB or even 1.7 GB in peak moments.'
The Issue:
The game does not seem to release memory after switching back from Regions or visiting the Global HQ. When the free RAM hits the 1.7 GB - 2.1 GB range, the system becomes unstable. Sometimes items in the Global HQ stop loading (empty boxes), and this often leads to Error 17 (Connection lost), likely because the system is struggling to manage the memory and the data sync at the same time.
Steps taken:
- Cleared App Cache for SimCity
- Simcity set to "Excluded "
- Disabled RAM Plus (to use only physical RAM).
- Restarted the device multiple times.
Is anyone else experiencing these RAM drops and subsequent connection errors specifically after visiting Regions or intensive HQ surfing?"
