Hi,

 

I cant play for more than 20-30mins before i have the same crash over and over.

No mods other than sometimes using TheWay but it crashes without this running also.

Recent windows install.

Not sure what Im doing wrong?

Thanks

Good news, it's very easy to fix, as long as your have enough room on your PC fastest drive.

  1. First check your drives: for them to breathe, ensure they each have at least 50GB of free space.
  2. Once this is one, read this guide. You will learn how to set a manual pagefile. Since a pagefile acts like a supplement of memory, you want it to be stored on your fastest drive. Choose it wisely.
  3. Set these values:
  • init size: 32768 (32 GB)
  • max size: 32768 (32 GB)

You're right, DCS keeps complaining about a lack of memory.

Please check Windows task manager when DCS is not running. How much free RAM do you have?

Can you confirm the drive your pagefile is on has enough free space?

So free memory out of 32gb when sitting at desktop says 24.5 GB.

The NVME drive where the page file is setup has 450gb spare of space.

Thank you. Do you know what takes up to 7-10 GB of RAM, aside from Windows?

In the meantime, you can set a bigger pagefile (say 50 GB) to avoid crashes, but it would be better to free up some RAM to have better performance in-game (the less pagefile is used, the smoother the game will be).

Is that an unusually large amount of memory for windows to say in use when idling? This is a reasonably fresh install of windows 10, within last 1-2months. Not a great deal of extra (closed chrome down since last screenshot) stuff running ...

Will try with a 50gb page file.

I don't have any Windows at hand at the moment. One thing strikes me, though: I see many services being run two or three times in your screenshot.

If crashes keep coming with a 50GB pagefile, try and disable the following software (there were issues for some users before):

  • OneDrive
  • iCue
  • Logitech Hub
