zero Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 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.

Mr_sukebe Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 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 System: 9700, 64GB DDR4, 2070S, NVME2, Rift S, Jetseat, Thrustmaster F18 grip, VPC T50 stick base and throttle, CH Throttle, MFG crosswinds, custom button box, Logitech G502 and Marble mouse. Server: i5 2500@3.9Ghz, 1080, 24GB DDR3, SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobaltUK Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 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 Windows 7/10 64bit, Intel i7-4770K 3.9GHZ, 32 GB Ram, Gforce GTX 1080Ti, 11GB GDDR5 Valve Index. Force IPD 63 (for the F-16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomaKrelian Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 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.

spazz212 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 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+). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
