Syrinscape Fantasy Player using huge amount of computer resources even when idle and constantly freezing

I have been using Syrinscape for several years now and this problem has been getting worse and worse over time: The Fantasy Player especially (probably because he has the most soundsets) when running on my pc (Windows 10, Processor with 6x3.7 GHz, 16GB RAM, so definitely not a weak system) uses about 50% of RAM and 10 to 15% of CPU even when idle. It seems to be constantly busy in the background and when I use it, wether to play sounds or to download/update tracks it often freezes or crashes alltogether. I believe that this is related to the huge number of loaded soundsets, but I cannot understand why? Is there a way to fix this? I do not contantly want to have to delete and reload soundsets.

Same problem. Doubt its the amount of soundsets, since it only recently started to happen on my end

Any updates on this? I have the same problém for over a year.

Our plan is to release the new build we have been testing and tweaking for the past month THIS week! So definitely give that a try…! It shoooooooooould work better! :slight_smile:

Is there anything we need do to use the new build? This has been a constant problem since I’ve started using Syrinscape. It starts cutting out then it’s just dead.

I want to keep my subscription but I want it to work.

I even went so far as to use a dedicated computer for Syrinscape and still no help.

The new build is available on the downloads page. Give it a go and let us know how you get on! :slight_smile:

Here it is 08/13/2024 and the memory usage is still 4.0GB+. It takes 15+ seconds to load a soundset, and even then only half the sounds play, making the atmosphere chaotic and painful to the immersion.

Hmmm… That must be annoying! :-/ Weirdly (for you), none of this is common experience as far as we understand it. We are not getting any similar reports via the support email at the moment, and obviously no comments on this thread for 8 months.

We regularly run various different machines new and (very) old, with full loads of content, including for 4 days running at Gen Con just last weekend = with none of these symptoms.

Sooo… definitely reach out to us on the support email and we’ll try and dig into what is happening on YOUR device and see if we can help sort you out.

Heya,

I ran the Fantasy Player all day, loading up LOTS of stuff and playing continuously. I couldn’t get it to go bigger than this.

Speaking to the dev team, they said they have built in some extra diagnostic tools into the latest version, and that we can help you switch them on for us if you reach out to us on support.

Let’s sort you out @temmcruze
