I wish DCS would run on an 8gb RAM pc

[bkthunder]

...without having windows say it used up all available ram, despite having a proper paging file etc.

 

I wish it would be playable and wouldn't crash every single time I play it.

 

I wish it would run just as good as Rise of flight, Arma 3, Crysis, battlefield 3 any other game that has 10x the graphics of DCS and 1/100th of the trouble.

 

Thanks for the AFM, thanks for the new contrails, thanks for the awesome modules, I wish you guys were 3rd party devs for some other sim platform, 'cause none of this is any use if the base is a faulted, old, un-optimized piece of kit.

Seems you have some sort of problem then if Windows says it ran out of memory because i used to have it running without a problem on 6GB and while doing a little benchmark test, i noticed it never went above 3GB during the test.

I dont think DCS is even able to utilize more than 4 gb ram... My own testing shows it never went above...

I am running DCSW on a computer with 8G memory, in a fluid-like smooth manner.

 

Maybe the bottleneck of your system is something else?

I used to have that problem until i reactivated my page file.

[bkthunder]

lucky you...my page file has always been on.

8gb RAM system here getting quite long in the tooth too, yet i run 1.2.6 and developer builds quite nicely :)

 

I used to run my Win 7 without a pagefile, but post 1.2.5 i started to use a fixed 1526/1536 size and i never get any memory problems anymore.

10x the graphics and 1/1000ths of complex coded systems.

Well.... I do on 6gigs without any (heavy) trouble... You must have something wrong.

[MTFDarkEagle]

8gigs here, no problem ;)

Used to run on 7gig on my previous system without memory issues.

I'm rocking 6gigs right now and have no crashes, well unless I really try... my sim doesnt usually go over 4.4ish... unless the mission is a giant cluster :)
