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


Recommended Posts

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

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

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

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.

Dear Shilka. I hate you so very very much. Love, Rex

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...

yes currently it is always best to restart

 

check your pagefile

 

system properties > advanced system settings > performance

 

make sure it is system managed and you have enough room on the drive

you dont need to buy any more ram, if the pagefile is working as system manged.

 

I have 16gb of ram and have no problems

yes if you reduce settings it will help

 

try on medium preset and see how you get on

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.
