I've only been checking out some options and recalled to our guild castle, then ran around for about 30 seconds. Client memory has spiked to 440MB and doesn't show any signs of going down. I am assuming there is a memory leak.

*Added*

A few minutes of running has the client eating up 740MB.

Because UO is an open world, you can need any asset at any time. The game uses as much memory as you have available to store things for quick access. It will try to keep something like 20% of your memory free if it can.

The thing with KR is when you set the FPS to 60 instead of 30 the whole thing ran like a dream. Better than 2D ever did in fact. It was fluid and everything was as instantanious as it could be. Thats one of the things I hope I don't lose with the SA client.

Yep, that setting is accessible from the Graphics tab of the User Settings within the client now.

The other thing to note is if you are running into any sort of screen tearing, you can also try enabling the v-sync option to help reduce it.

Increasing the max FPS or enabling v-sync does have impacts on performance, though.
