This popped up at render time. It’s possible it’s something else than Corona because my whole system is flaking out (Photoshop just took about 5mins to launch after first crashing out) but I’m still reporting it because the error box asked me to :smiley:

well… you are out of RAM :wink: even though not all RAM is currently being used, it is already allocated (also including page file). One solution would be to increase page file. But I would like to see the scene to determine why so much RAM was allocated without it being used. It may be also other process in windows… if it happens again, you can try displaying column “commit size” in task manager to see which application took all your RAM.

I’ve not seen the commit size thing before.

If it happens again (seems OK for now) I’ll send scene and more details.

Thanks Ondra.

it is visible in the task manager window (thank you for screenshotting correct tab of task manager ;)) - either though you have only 11.6/32 GB of memory used (which means that the operating system decided to keep 11.6 GB of data in the physical RAM because some application touched it recently), you have 45.9/45.9 commited. This means that applications requested to use 46GB RAM total (but did not actually get to using it, which is why the memory usage is lower).

ok, let us know if you have more info, I am moving this to resolved in mean time
