Question regarding how memory in construct works.

Hi. I have 2 pictures here. One of my construct 2 window showing expected download and memory use size, the other shows my actual memory usage in the task manager.

I would really appreciate if someone can explain what happens behind the curtains. Why are there 3 instances of the game running, and why is the memory usage almost 3 times of the expected value? Anything I can do to get it closer to the expected 365mb of memory consumption?

Thanks

I guess you exported your game with Node-Webkit?

So, I think in Construct 2 you see the memory usage only of your game (all the images, sounds), but when

you actually run the game then the run-time (Node-Webkit) needs memory too, because in the end Node-Webkit is a special version of the Chrome browser. And it's not 3 instances of your game running, it's 3 threads of Chrome/Webkit.

Thanks for the reply. Still not quite sure what the numbers really mean though. I would guess the thread of 25 mb is the " mainchrome thread" running. What I don't understand is the 300 mb and 600 mb. Is the 300 MB all the assets loaded in, and the 600 mb the memory consumption of the current active layout?
