Can I fix G.Skill Trident Z DDR4 3200 memory lag in RE Village?
Trying to run this game on 8GB of RAM is basically a joke in 2026. In the village square, the memory just maxes out and the system starts hammering the drive. It was like watching a slideshow, with FPS jumping between 40 and 10. I tried dropping every single setting to low, but the game looked like a blurry mess of pixels, and I felt like a total noob for even trying that. I finally went into the advanced system settings, manually locked the virtual memory to a 16GB partition on my SSD, and disabled memory compression. Using RTSS, I saw the frame time variance drop from a chaotic 40-100ms to a stable 25-35ms. At first, my boot time slowed down by about 5 seconds, but once I set the page file exactly to 16384MB, it stabilized. RAM usage stayed pegged at 92-98%. I exported all the IO and latency logs to make sure the mapping was correct. It's not perfect, but it's playable now.
