So, recently Satisfactory game got an engine upgrade, now they're using Unreal Engine 4.25. The issue appeared only after the update (new engine). I haven't seen this anywhere else.

Whenever I select UE4-Win64-Shipping.exe, enable speedhack, switch it to more than 1x and then revert it back to 1x, the memory consumed by Cheat Engine keeps raising really fast. In few minutes, my whole PC starts crashing down.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Looking for solution..
After just 1 minute, CE is using 2.5GB of ram, it seems like its is constantly reading something from HDD and filling up memory.


And no, I'm not scanning anything, the only feature Im using in CE is speedhack.

Newest windows 10, all updates applied. Unfortunately I can't post links, so no images.

check what the status is in memory view
it may be busy mapping the target process debug information

And set your paging system to allow increase of the pagefile (And if you disabled paging, then re-enable that)

I set pagefile to system managed, now it doesn't completely hang up my PC, just makes it barely usable.
For ~2 minutes it shows "Symbols are being loaded" (went to 3.5GB).
After that, for ~5 minutes - "Extended debug info is being loaded" (3.6GB).

Aand after that, for I don't know how long (I ran out of patience after 40 minutes as I have to go to sleep) - Structures are being parsed. Memory kept increasing, shut it down at 6.1GB.

I have used CE on far bigger games and have never seen this happen. CE itself (by the end) was using nearly 2x more ram than Satisfactory.

once it's done with the structures it won't do that until there is a new version

as for memory usage it's fine. It's mostly stale lookup data only used when needed so windows will write it to the pagefile soon enough

It does that on every start-up. Still makes the game hard to play and my PC randomly shut off after 1 hour (first time in months). Is this really..normal? Maybe there is a way to disable that part of CE and use only speedhack?

EDIT: I managed to "fix" this by using process lasso and trimming CE memory. Stays below 5-300MB now and everything works perfectly.
