1.2.6.18651 update DCS.exe crash

[Trainzak]

Still having crashes in DCSW 1.2.6.18651. The last crash was when flying online with F-15C. After 10 mins of peaceful flight, I got very familiar "DCS has stopped working" window with DCS.exe as faulty module. It still seems that memory leaks aren't fixed (and really, is someone even trying to fix it?). Note that the updated minimum system specs is 4 GB of RAM, which should guarantee even smooth network play. If it helps, there is the crash log:

It would be helpful to know exactly what happened in the mission when crash occurred, then get it to replicate it... this is only way to get devs to know what to fix... but we know this is sometimes very hard to find out.

 

For example, last Testing MP session we found if someone goes for belly landing and explodes all clients get crash... if it was a memory leak there should be error message that windows has run out of memory, if you didn't get it its not likely that this crash was due to memory leak.

Well, that's a really strange bug :)

 

All I can say that this and all of my previous crashes seemed to happen completely randomly, not after some particular action... However I'm still suspicious about low amount of RAM - because DCS use 95% of available RAM, then ussually crash occurs... And people with 16 GB of RAM don't have crashes at all...

I also run 6gb of RAM, as its not the min spec for RAM, its wise to make sure you dont have anything else running that might be using your memory, also verify your virtual ram settings as well... I havent had any crashes, but my RAM does run up around the mid 80% range for the system.

I am getting the error message that windows run out of memory. I have 8GB og ram on X64 system. What should the virtual ram be set to? I am running the game on a SSD hard drive. Before the latest update I never had this problem. This happens when running single player DCS-A10C.

Set Virtual Mem. to "Let Windows Control" and you should be fine.

Ok thanks.
