DCS crash with low memory after update

[Auntystatic]

last night while playing I had 2 crashes with low memory errors, there is no DCS crash log that I can find in saved games folder but the windows event viewer caught this.

 

Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: DCS.exe (19988) consumed 15124869120 bytes, firefox.exe (10824) consumed 657686528 bytes, and dwm.exe (13432) consumed 375566336 bytes.

 

and this

 

Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: DCS.exe (2904) consumed 9187155968 bytes, dwm.exe (17192) consumed 406335488 bytes, and obs64.exe (11808) consumed 270573568 bytes.

 

I have heard from 2 other people in the Grimreapers who have had the same error, has anyone else had this problem? Today I am oing to do a repair on the game to see if it fixes it but I thought I would start a thread in case anyone else has this problem it could offer a fix and also alert the devs if its a bigger problem.

 

Thanks

 

Edit: a repair of the install seems to have fixed the problem for myself and others :)

Hey!

Could you please tell me (understandable for a not pc profi like me) how you performed the repair? I have the same message and issues (low working memory and game crash in multiplayer).

 

 

Thanks in advance.
