I have a trainer with a lot of lua scripts and when I execute it, it takes up to ~5.5GB of memory to fully load everything but after that (with non of the scripts enabled) the RAM usage drops down to ~4.5GB. Enabling scripts doesn’t seem to increase it noticeably. Am I missing something? And, why is CE allocating so much memory if non of the scripts are enabled?

You probably did something bad. I'd need to see the table to tell you what that is.

When building the trainer I use a "master" cheat table where all scripts are stored and I can’t figure out why it weighs 270mb either. Recently I recompiled my trainer after deleting one of the scripts in that CT and making it back by copy pasting the code into a blank script. When I opened it with the game running and non of the options enabled yet, the memory usage got dropped down to almost 4gb instead of 5+gb. It seems to me like a bug more than anything. I’ll dm you the CT to see what’s going on.

does the game have a .PDB or other debug symbols, because then it's normal that CE will eat up a lot of memory. Just disregard it in any case as it's swapfile backed memory as it's not used until it has to be for the symbol lookup

I am not 100% certain if it has but the game does actually have a hidden debug menu found very recently by me. In any case, is there an option to make CE stop looking for these symbols?
