maxsin72 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) After last open beta update i have noticed a very high memory and paging file usage while playing on an MP server with about 27-28 players (Mobettameta dogfight server). All my 32 gb memory were used and the paging file reached 140 gb dimension, really huge! There are also meny stutters and the game become unplayable. My config is 4790k with 1080TI and 32gb ram 2400mhz, hp reverb g2 and, until the last update, i had 45fps stable. I wonder why, thanks Edited April 9, 2022 by maxsin72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdevil Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 @maxsin72 - 141 GB is huge. not sure that is necessary. my suggestion would be to make a static pagefile for 32 min and 64 max. some folks are now using windows managed. with a pagefile at 141 the drive is taking resources just to keep up. or if possible get more RAM. 32 is pretty common though.

Untill last update, the max memory usage was 24 gb in MP Caucasus and paging file was 40 gb max. Steam vr is also crashing both in beta and stable version.

maxsin72 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 It is definitely something related to dcs, memory usage remains really high, about 28 gb, even if i disconnect from MP servers, causing heavy lags. Before the last update, after disconnecting from the MP server, i was under 20gb memory usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdevil Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 not sure if it will help. maybe run a repair? i see some posts saying they do a repair after every update. DCS is in deed a hungry application. however if this was an issue with every person we would be seeing a lot more reports.

It's beyond huge! Before I re-installed, I had to run self managed to prevent DCS from crashing. (Was lazy and did the upgrades from 7,8,8.1 to 10). Now I have a clean Windows 10 install, and I have a Windows manged page file, and DCS haven't crashed once (except when I overclock my GPU, which only happens with DCS ). 32Gigs RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnuffelpuffel Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) Same here. Game is nearly unplayable since last update. Do software developers only use high end performance hardware? Edited April 15, 2022 by Schnuffelpuffel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC_Official Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I can remember happy days many years ago when DCS was still 32Bit (1.5 ?) and could only ever use 3G of RAM when running ............... good times Now it uses nearly 40G of my 64G of RAM 3 No more pre-orders Click here for tutorials for using Virpil Hardware and Software Click here for Virpil Flight equipment dimensions and pictures. .

KoN Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Yes it seems DCS is going backwards . Definitely memory issues . I can't think of any game using 32GB or ram and all it's Vram .
