Syria map gobbles up all ram - CTD , and worse.

[zero]

Been away for a while.

Waiting for Apache - I wanted to warm up again.

DCS updated. I wanted to try Syria map. 

Even with low settings and pre load set low, it ends with a CTD - often with a black screen.  CNtr/Alt//Del takes minutes to react. Unfreeze Windows takes minutes

Tried with a simple mission . Just a single F16 with 3 wpt.  The same with old A10 that worked before. 

Syria map uninstall and reinstall.  Often the crash ends with a crash log that is sent to DCS.

The latest crash was serious - maybe it coincided with a normal Win update?

PC restarted itself.  Win updated 7 times in a row. Then a 10 minute clean up run.

Nevada works fine.

Syria does indeed eat ram.  How much have you got?

 

I assume that you’ve closed down all other apps and processes that you don’t need?

In addition, I find that logging out in Win10, then logging back in, just before starting DCS helps clean up ram prior to playing

In Syria MP for hours at a time with no issue. 16GB total but 25% in use outside of DCS  so 12 pretty much.  Have 16GB gpu memory so maybe that helps. Did not have issues either when gpu was just 11GB

I'm noticing this problem too. It seems worse since the last beta update. I have 32 GB ram with plenty of room for a large pagefile. I'm noticing that DCS uses 15-18 GB ram according to Windows Task Manager, but doing the math, I see that it uses more like 25+ GB. I'm wondering if there is a memory leak, especially since DCS Syria is using more ram than it is reporting. Closing DCS frees up all that ram.

I am noticing it as well 64gb and it uses up more and more ram until it maxes it out especially if you don't have a page file. It takes around 1.5 hours in multiplayer on a populated server before it uses enough ram to crash the Game (59gb+).
