Re: Memory Boost Technical Issues and Feedback Thread

The new memory boost mode feature isn’t working for me , i followed everything in the step by step guide and in the guide it says that after i type “version” in the game console it’s supposed to show (FPB) text , it isn’t shown for me

    I actually had to launch the game with the FPB launcher instead of launching it through EA app

    Did you set it to automatic or enabled ? Automatic sets the best mode for your computer and if you have a high end one it seems it just reverts to normal mode.

    From what I gathered, memory boost is more for lower end computers. You can still enforce it with enabled (make sure to add the exe file to your antivirus program if you do that)

    Seems Automatic doesn't do anything atm. I think it's because it's opt-in but the automatic will be default setting in the future.

    Moving this to the main thread for the the feature.

    I just looked and found that my memory boost is set to automatic.  I did not choose this setting as today is the 1st time I bothered to even see what is about.  Regardless,  I have dx 12 and I am not going to roll it back to dx 11.  Should I just disable this because I do not want to understand any of this! I only want to play my game!   My game plays better offline then it does online now! That's the 1st observation I have.  I just upgraded my entire system a few months ago so that my game would not play with so much lag and drag..... it was quite effective a few months ago.  Now, as of lately... it's worse!  Sims 4 is the only game I have on my system, the only game I have ever played (sims 1,2, &3).  I play on EA platform only even though the LE still says Origin.

    Automatic currently means disabled. Since it's opt-in only enabled will force the feature.

    Just wanted to let you know I disabled the memory booster .  I never enabled it because I did major upgrades $$$$ on my system a few months ago because my games were dragging horrendously.  I was thrilled with the results!   ... and then along came Memory booster. I played it with the temporary setting as it was loaded in my game settings and then I disabled it.  and Wow  🤪 - My system doesn't need it, It actually plays so much better without it. 😁
