Memory Leak

I also try to avoid excessive use of the zoom function when particle rendering is taking place which seems tied into the 'effects' setting.

With the above I can be in MP for a lot longer without the dreaded Launcher crash and my fps is much higher even over the dreaded low altitude hot spots.

After fitting a 2gb GFX card, I cranked the setting to High and started getting LE crashes more frequently.

+1

After fitting with a 3 Gb vid card I saw the memory usage creep up to over 2.5 GB!

I must be incredibly lucky, to date I have not had a single CTD, with over 33 hours flown.

Online? The crash is only a multiplayer bug!

S!

I noticed when the Launcher.exe crash was coming the game began to stutter and feel slow and unresponsive. This happened randomly but symptoms always the same: degraded performance just before crashing.

My system has never CTD or had Laucher exe error. It could be because I have COD installed on a seperate SSD, with only a copy of Windows 7 64bit and gaming peripherials installed on it. I also have quite a fast internet connection. I run the sim with everything ON and set to HIGH at 1920x1080. The only downside I have to reboot to the SSD operating system to play COD, but with the SSD it only takes seconds to reboot, load game, mission, and start to fly.

edit...it takes about a minute to reboot, 15 seconds to load COD, and another 15 seconds to load a mission and start flying.

Relax Krupi, not need to get upset, I didnt realize the CTD issue was localized to online play. I didnt know "the crash was only a multiplayer bug"!!! Might be helpful to distinguish between "game launcher" overall, and "online player" launcher.

I get CTD's and freezes sometimes and I have it on an SSD and I get them SP as well as MP.

I find that the memory leak is related to the presence of other planes. If I take off at an airfield where I am the only plane in the area I use about 44% of my 8 Gigs of ram. If there are multiple planes (3-5) in the area my frame-rate is very low and my ram usage is in the area of 57%.

For me it's seems like it happens after about the same amount of time online around the one hour mark. When teh JG27 guys guys did those coops I found it worse but hard to say if it happened sooner, my system just suddenly started slowing down and juddered to a halt then crashed.

From the update it does sound like they now what the issue is and that it's on it's way to be fixed.

Fingers crossed
