Hard Crash in Multiplayer (JF-17, Flanker, and Hornet)

[Captin Pelley]

Hi, in both Hoggit and a private squadron server I've gotten multiple hard crashes followed by everything on my multiple screens also freezing and crashing including Discord, Opentrack, and SRS all at the same time. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi @Captin Pelley. "E_OUTOFMEMORY" error + lots of "(function-name not available)". Two symptoms of RAM issue.

Try a bigger pagefile:

1. Access your pagefile settings.
2. Identify which drive contains your pagefile (it's the one that does not read "None").
3. Ensure you have sufficient space in this drive (at least 45 GB). If not, it's time to make some room.
4. Untick "Automatically manage paging file size...".
5. Set initial size to 32768 (32 GB).
6. Set max size to 32768.

Of course, if you can afford it, the best solution is to gve your PC 64 GB of RAM. Because if you do, it will barely use the pagefile.  But setting a bigger pagefile is free of charge, you don't have to mess with your PC's entrails, and the result is instantaneous when RAM is indeed the source of the issue.
