Saw what? Nothing linked or embedded for us to look at.

oops umm my disk is at 100% usage

 

[COLGeek]

That would be an issue. Just clear some space and things should return to normal. I would imagine you are having issues with others programs as well.

 

[ashencloud]

no its just GTAV and i think its having memory leaks

 

[COLGeek]

What are the specs for your system? Also, from where did you get the game itself?

Have you scanned for malware/viruses lately?

How much free space is on your storage devices?

Saw this on Rockstar's forum:



For anyone seeing the "out of memory" error - are you running your OS without any virtual memory allocated?
If so, allocate some and hey presto - no more memory related crashes!

Weird thing is I'm running 8GB of ram & my total system memory usage is around 4GB when the game is in full flow so there's no reason I should be seeing "out of memory" warnings from windows as it forces GTA V to close.
I'm running an SSD as my system drive so I'd turned off virtual memory completely to avoid unnecessary writes.
For some reason GTA V does not play nice without virtual memory enabled
I allocated a couple of gig for virtual memory on my secondary/mechanical drive and hey presto - no more "out of memory" errors despite the fact that total memory usage still never gets much above 4GB!
Despite these initial bugs, this port is so much better than GTA 4!!! Big thanks to for the PC love!!

rig: win8.1 64bit on stock GTX970 - i5-2500k@4.3ghz (best £100 I ever spent) - 8GB ram - SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD system disk

thing is im not crashing my disk usage is 100%

 

[ashencloud]

also how to i make it unsolved?

 

[COLGeek]

Unsolved. Didn't say you were crashing, but this is a memory related issue (if you the free space you mentioned earlier). Also, have you applied all available game patches/updates?

 

[ashencloud]

yes i have

 

[COLGeek]

How much virtual memory do you have configured in Windows?

 

[ashencloud]

Im so sorry, but what is that and how do i check it? Once again i feel bad i am taking up your time but i have been trying to fix it for a while now 🙁
