Game has become unstable in 1.2.6 whereas previous was at least playable. Now i get performance hits an stutters in sp an mp.

4) Make sure you are running a 64-bit Windows operating system with at least 6 GB of RAM.

I'am only running 4GB an have always ran on 4 so dunno if maybe thats not helping or making things worse, just saw it for first time 8)- Anyways gonna try a few of them other suggestions an see what happends.

Does set priority=high help in DCS World .exe help in task manager? Just want to try some things to see if it improves an came across this link from differnt thread.

We have seen that with 1.2.5 and more so 1.2.6 4 gigs of RAM just deosnt seem to be cutting it anymore. You can try anything you want, but best thing to do would be look at your RAM usage while you play and that will show you what is going on...

Agreed... I was at 6 Gig and getting crashes with 1.2.6. DCS was taking most of that RAM.

 

I'm on 10 Gig now and no issues.

Must be a memory leak. Dcs was using 6GB RAM and crashing my 8GB system. Never had this issue in 1.2.5

 

 

Is your Cache adjusted? If you let Windows control it I believe you will have better luck.

Thanks buddy. I'll give this a try when I get home and see if it makes any difference.

Different aircraft and modules but mostly the A-10C and mostly online. Just seem to be a colossal RAM hog in the latest build. A reinstall hasn't fixed the problem either.

 

I agree, DCS is using more RAM, I to have 6gigs, but I stay at about 3.7 gigs used by DCS, can you track your memory as you play, even just looking at task manager and see the usage to see if anything unusual happens, specifically if any type of mission, module, etc effects it more?

The worst I had it was multiple different aircraft in an online server. About 8 people online. I jumped into an A-10 and windows started telling me I had no ram left. Looked in the task manager and DCS was using 6 of my 8 gigs.

 

I'll try and jump in a server tonight and see if I can see the same thing, this last weekend during a MP test session I was using the C and had not issues what so every, RAM got as high as 3.8 and stayed there. so perhaps its fixed in the test version we are using or something else is going on. Now its also possible that you get a large spike on mission load, specially if you are preloading scenery and such? I dont know... but let me try on the release version tonight and I will see if I can see the same things, but as far as I know I am not... which makes it frustrating to help you out :/

Well, thanks for trying anyway! I appreciate the effort. I have most modules installed as well and I'm running DCS on a solid state drive so I don't know if that has an impact.

 

I really wouldnt think so, but it's daunting when you think of all the different variables that are involved... Is this a consistent issue, or does the memory run out every time?

I uninstalled a few other background tasks to get the usage down so haven't had that much of a problem since but I think overall usage is still extremely high. I experienced another crash last night. I'm flying this evening though so I'll have another look. All in all 1.2.6 seems to have broken far more than it fixed for me :(

Yup, its frustrating trying to help when I dont see the same things... but keep an eye on it and see if you can see anything specifically related, that way I can try and reproduce.

What background tasks did you uninstall? some others may need a bit of increase or in this case decrease in ram usage. I did understand you right? that this helped a bit?

You will never use 16 GB of ram.

 

More memory isn't better. Having 8 or 6 is probably way closer to what you are actually gonna use.

 

12GB.. Maybe.... for DCS.

 

 

I have Beta Games (Yet to be released, not affil with ED), that use up a good 11 GB of Ram with Running with everything Maxed..

 

I Fill up my 16GB Quickly with some programs as well.

 

Not to mention, any unused RAM can be setup as a RAMDisk, for faster temp files/scratch drives :)

I can't count how many times I have heard "You will NEVER need xx amount of whatever"... I PROMISE you, someday you will use more than you can even imagine today.. that is just how technology goes...

 

16 GIGs of memory is not THAT much today and it won't be too far into the future and that will be a standard bare bones recommendation...

 

For what it is worth I had similar issues and instaled 16 Gigs and they went away. Am I using all of that memory? Probably not, but you don't want to get to the point that you ARE using all of your memory as that is the boat you are in now...
