running out of Ram after 6.5 /16 GB (Restart nessesary)

August 4, 2015 12:21 AM from

16 GB Ram available. 1 GB Ram via Pagefile.

45 Opponents.

Largest Galaxy-Size

Game-version 1.1 (latest Steam-Version)

Game starts from a Savegame with roughly 2.6 Gig of Ram. Once i Play 15-20 Ticks i am running out of Ram.

Process-Explorer Shows me that Galciv3 is only using ~6.5 Gigs of Ram. The Rest seems to be gobbled up by some sot of Paging.

Situation looks like this screenshot:

When the Pop-Up "asking me to shutdown Galciv3" appears, i can still start other Programms just fine and have them use Memory in the 4-5 Gigs.

Is that Normal Behaviour ?

Not sure, because there are a number of things that would be of use in the output of a DxDiag run. The first thing I would check with what you describe would be the OS's virtual memory settings. With 16GB of RAM you minimum should be 16GB and your maximum should be at least 3 times that.
