solved DCS crashes upon loading into Syria (and soon after loading into any other map)

[Teun1het]

Hi all,

DCS crashes every time i try to load Syria, or shortly after loading in any other map/module. This is happening for about 2 months now, i have tried adjusting the page file, but this did not work (i have 16 gb of ram and set the pagefile to something like 50 gb on an m.2 ssd). I have also tried repairing the client, renaming the savedgames folder, and completely reinstalling the game. Could someone determine what the problem is from the crash logs?

Thanks in advance.

Hi. DCS does not have enough RAM to proceed ("not enough memory").

Since your PC only has 16 GB of RAM, you should either consider get some more (a total of 32 GB is alright, 64 GB would be better).

In the meantime, you need to edit your Windows pagefile settings.

1. First, ensure your drives all have sufficient free space (at least 50 GB of free space on each drive).
2. Then, use this guide to set your pagefile on your fastest drive (NVMe is faster than SSD, SSD is faster than HDD).
3. Use these values:

• init size = 16384
• max size = 32768

Thanks, the problem was that the pagefile minimal value was set at 5 gb, instead of 16. Apparently that limits the total page file (it was set from 5gb to 50 gb

It does this for some PCs and I have no idea why.

Thanks for your feedback.
