Memory
Hi! Has anyone encourtered "memory low" message during the gameplay of simulation?

Never had this issue with overhauled and I have a gaming pc that meets the needs of this game. I have turned the graphics down and even with ultra graphics the game runs very smoothly but I still do get those constant "low memory" notifications.
Tried the game three different times yesterday and all of them ended up by crash to desktop...

Maybe I need to wait for few updates and optimation... ?

Well actually not, as pc meets the reguirements and then some.

Yes, same here. And if I play game for several hours it gets killed by windows because of low memory available.

Low memory is a RAM issue and shouldn't (?) be affected by graphics settings. Maybe try closing some background processes (Discord, browser tabs, etc.) to allocate more RAM for DV.

No, looks like DV do not free unused memory over time. Looks like a bug.

Seems like a bug. I have no browsers or anything at the background. It seems that DV takes all the memory, and constantly requires more and more without letting any used memory to be free.

No BG processes on when playing this. Seems that the game eats all the available ram on startup no matter what, and then demands for more and more.

I'm having this issue too, seems like the game keeps eating up memory (and space from my c drive. Does anyone know why it kept filling up my C drive? It had 3 gbs left whilst i was ingame but once I exited it went to 10gb. I just want to know if theres any files I can move to reduce it or if this is just a bug

If there is indeed a memory leak, when the RAM is close to being full, the OS will increase the page file size and begin swapping. That's why you are seeing your C drive free space decreasing. The pagefile.sys file is increasing.

The page file size will go back to its initial size when the RAM is freed (after shutting down the game) or when rebooting.

Same problem over here, never had this issue with overhauled. First the low memory note and after a while the game crashes...

I have the same issue - low memory warning, leading to crash. Never had this before in DV and it is not due to background processes or not enough ram.

Out of curiosity, how much ram do you (and the others with the problem) have?
ovidiurosb Jul 4, 2023 @ 7:54am 
I have 32Gb and played for 3-4hours straight without problems and error messages.
1440P max settings.
