Game crashing during Tutorial

[Eagle]

Upon getting to the male moans part of the Tutorial It starts loading images
it gets 29 of 39 or so then crashes and gives me a low memory warning.

I have 16gb ram the game runs fine up till that point in the tutorial
I reopened it and retried again it it crashed in that same spot of the tutorial.
The VAMX thing is popping in the middle saying the game crashed.

Ive read 16gb is minimum and that the Devs are going to drop an update for us 16gb people
But I think its important to note that Im not able to even finish the tutorial with 16gb without a crash due to memory knowing that 16 is the listed minimum that should mean I should bare minimum be able to finish the tutorial with 16gb of ram. I mean its the tutorial we are looking at the very bare bones of the game to show how to do basics.

So Im a bit irritated by that since I cant really enjoy the game because Im tasks with feeling all around the UI to make things work which obviously loads tons of stuff and causes faster crashing memory warning because the game doesnt dump the last clothing and character and scenes loaded from the memory which adds up.

This is absolutely an issue that needs to be fixed. But until then, there's a workaround.

The issue is, as you say, that the game doesn't automatically unload unused clothing and looks. This makes them load faster if you do use them again, but can lead to crashes for users with 16GB or less of Ram.

First off, make sure you have your virtual memory set to "managed by windows" in your Windows user preferences. You can google how to do that. It allows windows to use your hard drive as extra memory when your RAM gets full. This wont eliminate memory related crashes, but it makes them much less common.

Second, you can manually clear unused items out of memory from time to time.

Here's how.

1) toggle the Vam UI on, if it's not visible.
2) Go into edit mode.
3) Click the "cycle select person" toolbar button.
4) Go to the "control & physics 1" tab.
5) Click the "Unload inactive objects" button.

Every time you hit the "cycle select person" toolbar button, the next person in the scene is selected. so repeat steps 3-5 for each person in the scene.

Hopefully a fix will come along soon. Until then, though, this will at least let you make it through the tutorials.

Anyone having this issue should PM me (if you have 16GB of RAM) to test a beta with a fix.
