When my RAM load on ProxyUser.exe gets above 4.1G, I get an OOM for TileProxy ONLY, not for FSX.

Although it temporarily freezes FSX, once I close the TileProxy command window, FSX continues with what it has got, albeit whithout any new tiles.

 

I reassigned a maximum RAM usage in the ProxyUser dat file to 3500000000   (3.5G? but it still goes beyond 4G eventually (after 300 nm or so)

 

Is this the right setting to adjust or is there none to be done?

Understandably, TileProxy is a 32-bit app.

 

I have 16G RAM and 4G VRAM

I use this rule of thumb for this setting !/2 of total RAM + 1/3 of what is left.

 

In your case 2 of Ram + 1/3 of what is left should be approx 2.5 to 2.7.

 

Why???? background programs will spike CPU, eating up ram.

 

I have found updates that will crash the program for me when I am at my limits.

For me its Apple updates and AVG but there are others. Sometimes FLAPS Video will bring down FPS and hang tileproxy up also.

I have 16G RAM so background programs are of little concern to me.

 

It is the 32-bit app that Tileproxy is that is limiting the RAM available to TileProxy, such that at 4.1G of usage by TileProxy itself, disregarding any RAM usage form other apps (as a matter of fact total RAM gets close to 10GigS), that is in effect causing the OOM for TileProxy without affecting the FSX's OOM sate.
