Mr_sukebe Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 I thought that it would be worth mentioning this. Just been on a fairly lengthy mission in VR with the F15E on the Syria map. Flew the mission with no issue. Parked up, closed the aircraft down and exited the mission. At this point the screen stalls and hangs. The only way to resolve was to go to task manager and kill DCS. What I thought was interesting was the reported memory usage. According the Windows Task Manager (WTM), with the stalled DCS.exe still running, the total RAM usage was 25GB. After killing it, it dropped to 6.1GB, i.e. a 19GB drop. Why that stood out was that in Process tab of WTM, DCS.exe was showing as using just over 8GB, i.e. a discrepancy of over 10GB. Any idea why this would be any different and do others see the same? dcs.log 1 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

Mr_sukebe Posted August 26, 2023 Author Posted August 26, 2023 Like yourself, I've seen DCS recover from a stall if given a little while. On this occasion, I must have given it 5 mins, still no joy. 1 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

Mr_sukebe Posted August 26, 2023 Author Posted August 26, 2023 Absolutely, it's worth ago. Just upped it to 32GB. 1 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

Just upped it to 32GB. i think we all are in the middle of dcs being dcs and windows being windows. at least with a static pagefile, windows is doing one less inane calculation when dcs needs more memory. good luck and clear skies!
