[pawelkpl 29]

That is SOMETHING BIG ! I'm impressed ! BIS hire this guy and let him finish his job !

[Fushko 59]

Extremely impressive. When I saw Stratis and then Altis in front of you in the video I was like, woah.

[theevancat 277]

Mother of god...

What wizardry is this?

[sttosin 67]

This is why Arma is the greatest game? Ever!! Very impressed in the list of current features. Unlimited view distance.....WHAT?! A persistent universe game mode. People fighting on all arma islands at the same time...then take the battle to beyond earth. WOW. Mind blown.

[Rath 10]

Sweet Odin's Raven!

[froggyluv 2136]

Yeah but is it compatible with Alive?

Remarkable project/i m watching it for some time

[nikiforos 450]

Looks fantastic but I get memory errors after turning space engine on and after 1 or 2 minutes and CTD. Anyone knows why?

This is the error message :

Congratulations on getting to this stage in such an ambitious project; I very much look forward to seeing updates in the future.

Do you have last version of arma3?

How much RAM and VideoMemory you have ?

It's peak of memory usage on height 100-200km height.

I want to optimise memory usage in this moment.

Also I will add settings menu with texture qulity settings, for VideoCard with lower 890MB Memory.

Temporary solution - close hard background programs before start arma or change arma setting texture to "High".

[nikiforos 450]

I run 1.32 version.

I have the GTX 780 Asus 3 GB memory and also 8 GB ram .

[John87 12]

+1 on this -just before breaking orbit lol

Your PC: 16 Gigs DDR3 @1600, Nvidia 760 4gb.

It's strange. I have 4Gb RAm and Nvidia 890mb and haven't this problem on VeryHigh texture Settings. I will try to find why some PC have this problem.

[nikiforos 450]

Made a quick test with lower texture and object details and game crashed again. Don't know why.

Edited November 18, 2014 by Nikiforos

[John87 12]

I'm getting an out of memory error every time I reach about 29-30 000 meters up, like some engine transition is failing. I have 8 gig ram and ~33% used before launching Arma 3. It's dissapointing.

[uPDATE]

Fixed using -malloc

Nikiforos, froggyluv, try to add in ce_run.bat: "-malloc=system"

ce_run.bat:

//----------------------------------------------------------

start celoader.exe

start arma3.exe -malloc=system -mod=@Cosmos

exit

I will try it later today(at work right now) and will report the results.
