Hello,

My CE uses a lot of memory when using more than 6 hours. I can exit CE and reopen manually to free memory but sometime I can't so is there a lua function to free its memory?

Thanks.

If you run or execute CE tables or lua script when using CE then use :

Code:
collectgarbage()


check :

Thanks for your help,

My CE is using about 10GB ram and I tried but it does not work.

Code:

print(collectgarbage("count")) // 1951.703125
a = "123"
print(collectgarbage("count")) // 1951.7900390625
collectgarbage()
print(collectgarbage("count")) // 1950.7197265625


It frees a small memory but not all 10GB.

P.S. I use CE mainly for Speedhack. I have a program which closes and reopens game every a minute.

or example single lua script:

Code:
os.execute("del E:\\test\\*.*")


change E:\\test to CE temp folder name

My CE temp folder is C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\Cheat Engine\ and its size is 0. It could be 0 because I do not scan anything, I only use Speedhack.

I just want to free memory on RAM (not on disk) used by CE.

Anyway, thanks you.

At first, I turn on autoattach. After you gave me "openProcess" function in lua, I use that function and turned autoattach off.

In both cases, memory that CE used is not be cleaned and it increases about 50MB for every new process.
