solved Out of memory GAME CRASH

[JZF]

Good morning,

Please, see attached my system configuration:

The problem is that the game crashes in the middle of the game, especially when an explosion occurs.
I had a lower-end GTX 2G video card, 16MB RAM, and this problem didn't occur. Why?

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you,

Paulo

Thank you. It clearly looks like a lack of memory issue ("out of memory"):

It's not that surprising since your Windows has no pagefile:

2024-05-05 09:56:38.084 INFO    APP (Main): CPU cores: 6, threads: 12, System RAM: 32578 MB, Pagefile: 0 MB

 

Setting the default automatic pagefile will solve your issue, without a doubt. Here's a guide to set it on: https://support.robertsspaceindustries.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000083387-Out-of-memory-errors-set-your-pagefile
