"Close DCS to not lose any data" Message from Windows

I have never had this problem before this current version of DCS.

This message appears random, at least it feels like it, but only after like 30mins of gaming.

DCS doesn't crash, it's more like i have no more RAM, although i didn't had time to check this, and then Windows is restarting itself...

Temps are ok, only programms i have open are MSI Afterburner and TrackIR software

Anyone can guess the problem?

Edit: looks like i've found some crash files: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9devgx6m2dktxvr/dcs%20crash.zip?dl=0

And i just deleted all my mods before launching DCS

How many GBs left on your SSD? :D

22.1 Gb left, same amount "as always" and with earlier versions

Got the problem, memory leak again, 13gigs used...

Thank you

I just tried it and i deinstalled one of MSI's programm, which was written it causes problems with memory

First with MSI on, 13 gigs used

Without MSI about 9 gigs used with the same time, so it helped...

Well, now with chrome open, i use again 12 gigs from the beginning

Ok, managed it to use around 12 gigs max with chrome on, but still a lot, i mean, i never had problems with it with MSI and chrome open and playing DCS...

I tested these things on the virtual aerobatic server with right now 20 + people online

I had a similar crash with the latest alpha, but only once. Flying at the VA NTTR server. Their missions tend to love RAM to death... had to upgrade from 8G to 16G mostly because of that in the 1.2.x days. But 16 gigs is really a hell of a lot of memory; I'll post a log if it happens again. Now I'm all busy watching ladies play rugby.

Is your Vram / swap file set to system managed?

 

if not make sure it is and you have plenty of space on the hard drive being used

Where can i check and change that?

And also, normal use on dekstop with MSI at startup 2.3 gigs

Without MSI at startup also 2.3 gigs

Also, 1.5 is on my SSD with 20+gigs left, and i'm always cleaning up some thing so that it won't get lower...

Thank you Bignewy, i got it now to 7 gigs, but after entering a new server, it went up again to 13 gigs, is it a better idea to always restart DCS?

Ok thank you very much

Is there any way i can do to lower the used RAM to make my game lasting a bit longer? i don't really want to buy additionally 16 gigs...

well it's kinda working, but in some servers, especially on 2.0, my RAM usage starts at 13-14 gigs, which won't allow me to fly long and in different planes...

Does setting down the settings work a bit?

Well, that just saved me 6 gigs of RAM, thanks

then turn other things down but let cockpit textures up

with that 6 gigs i reffered to lowering preload radius

as others have said, check the disk space where your swapfile is located, usually root of the booting drive, I've done this before and blown my SSD with a few large downloads and gone too close to full on C which kills anything but with DCS the pagefile consumes diskspace according to memory in use.

Really interesting about afterburner! Thanks for sharing that.

what are your specs?
