KNOWN ISSUE: Out of Memory Crashes

Someone in a different thread was saying DarkCache was causing disconnects/crashes.

Hi! I have random Pc crashes related to Gpu Issues. But thats just after the update. My Screen goes Black and i can still hear audio, but my gpu fans are going cracy… This happens ingame AND in the Agent selection menu. So it seems that after the update, my 4090 drivers cant handle your game anymore. Im palying with 19 13900k and 24 gb vram rtx 4090 from Gigabyte with the newest game ready drivers from nvidea. Someone else experience whole pc crashes?

whats your ram

disconnected usually in the middle or end of a mission.
crashed with the error saying I have to check the integrity of files (what I have done)
Now, I get the error straight away after trying to start the game. Tried disabling mods and seems to not help… lowering threads seemes to make it worse

Issue Description:
First of all, I have a very large inventory. Probably over 100 melee and 100 ranged items per character (if not more).
Whenever I browse my inventory I get memory leaks and then my game crashes.
I tried to disable all mods and I still crash.
This issue appeared after the latest patch.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. you need A LOT of items in your inventory
  1. open inventory and browse (let’s say melee weapon) scroll up and down fast
  2. Close inventory
  3. repeat steps 2 and 3 a few times
  4. game should crash if it doesn’t check your RAM useage. Game will be consuming at least 6GB memory

I’ve had a similar issue where it crashes while browsing my inventory with a message running out of memory.
Crashes caused by out of memory seem to have been a random occurrence quite often since the recent big update.

Before the latest major patch I haven’t had a single game crash in 8 months.
After the latest major patch I am having “out of memory” game crash at least 3 times a day

same PC, same specs, same Settings

every single one of the crashes occurred while browsing my inventory

checked my task manager, memory leaks are wild. RAM usage is ramping up really fast.

Issue Description:
Loading into Morningstar after mission complete.

I’ve had this too. Is anyone else also getting DarktideLocalServer still running in task manager, preventing you from restarting the game (I mean pressing play in Steam) until you’ve closed this down???

What’s that?
I was thinking it was a mod…

Another update: I re-enabled Creature Spawner, Psykhanium Inventory, and Psykhanium default difficulty mods and the game crashes with OOM error again. So it’s probably one of these, at least in my case. (My guess is creature spawner bc it’s the most substantial of the 3)

Having horrible performance on PC and xbox since updates

I doubt of creature spawner… I use it and never get such error (maybe try to verify you use the latest version)

When I see that “DarktideLocalServer”, it reminds me a mod that permit to have local servers. That’s why I asked, and cause I have never seen such program is my task bar (or tray).
Psykhanium default difficulty, I use it also

Psykhanium Inventory I don’t use and don’t know it.
But, don’t underestimate the possibility that the interaction between several mods create a problem.

Also, if they made a post it… I am not sure it is linked to the mods. They clearly stated that they won’t support mods, and so that crashes that occur cause of them won’t be investigated.

Yep, it’s even in the console logs as a crash:

23:36:29.937 <<Crash>>Not enough memory reserved for heap 'lua_heap', reserved: 1073741824, required: 1075838976, size: 2097152

At `D:\a\d\rel_engine_darktide\release\rel_2023_10_16_Patch1.2.1x\runtime\foundation\memory\heap_allocator.cpp:171` in function `stingray::HeapAllocator::resize_heap`
<</Crash>>

I suspect it’s a large inventory issue but not much to go on so it’s pure conjecture, I wish there was a setting to increase the max heap manually, it’s set to 1 Gigabyte exactly ATM (1024 * 1024 * 1024 = 1073741824).

@FatsharkJulia is there a hidden ini setting somewhere to increase the LUA heap limit? I’d set it to 10gb just to buy me some time…
