The HangSim new Forum

Hi there,

I wanted to drive over night from Hamburg to Rotterdam.
When I cam eback to my PC this morning I noticed that my screens were black and the Sim obviously crashed.

Windows log showed the following:

Windows has diagnosed insufficient virtual memory. The following programs occupied the most virtual memory: steamwebhelper.exe (17224) occupied 16020414464 bytes, steamwebhelper.exe (18456) occupied 10923278336 bytes, and vsf_ng.exe (15048) occupied 4457111552 bytes

I have 32GB of RAM, a RTX3070 GPU and plenty of SSD Harddrivespace.

Has anyone an idea?

The best way to fix this is to download the 4GB patch by Ntcore and apply it to VSNG.

It's a very simply tool that can be applied to any game, this is ideal for games built using older engines (like VSF/VSNG) and should stop the game from both crashing (in most cases) and will also help it load heavy (detailed) ships easier.

Thanks for the reply and idea.

I already did this with the 4GB patch.
Meanwhile I figured out that it was not VSNG itself but Steam....
Obviously the steamwebhelper and ingame overlay stuff can cause severe RAM flooding over time.
I changed the overlay setting in steam and disabled it.

VSNG is running for almost 30 hours now without a single issue
