GT4 Low memory message

[vdgamer]

Very interesting i shall investigate (test it)

by the way is there any way to assign a hot key that toggles sound on/off to pcsx2?

[Rezard]

I don't think a hotkey for disabling the sound exist, but I could be wrong.

I'm sure it's possible to do, anyway.

Are you hoping to disable sound for a little performance boost when you need it, or something?

Keep GSDX in native res and allow 8 bit textures should help keep the memory usage down, that's where the spikes are coming from. you might get away with native x2 if youre lucky ;p

indeed, 8bit textures and the 4GB fix help a fair bit.

iirc what rama told beabout this issue, its a GSDX leak in the texture cache? and the default 2GB address limit doesnn't help much...

Check your virtual memory. How much space you left for it to use?

[Squall Leonhart]

Virtual Addressing is not the same as virtual memory

both are aspects of windows memory management but serve different jobs

Similar problem happened me before; when I try to play mw2 windows pop ups a message that says: out of memory close some apps blah blah with 4gb of ram and task manager shows only %60 of ram used. So I noticed that my pagefile size was only 300MB, windows reduced its size for some reason then I manually set it to 3072MB problem solved. No more out of memory errors.

In the first post he mentioned exactly same problem as mine as far as I understand.

well it was page file memory i reduced it my self to 400mb to save space on my SSD and i havent had any issue till GT4, so i set it back to recommended size and messages and crashes are gone, thanks guys, oh and i was asking about sound on/off hot key for pcsx2 because i like to listen to music when driving so i wanted a faster way to mute pcsx2 sound
