Scott Keon Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I have S3 setup on my show computer with 1 LOR network using serial port connector and LOR usb485 for a DMX network. MY PF usage has gone from 217mb with no LOR files running to 233mb when I started LOR control panel now it is 336mb. this is in 5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwertz Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 If there is a show running you might be seeing LOR pre-loading the sequences for the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hamilton Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Agree with Reg. And just for my opinion, that isn't a lot of memory for all the things going on. Most of that memory isn't necessarily for the LOR software, it's likely for all of the WAV files being preloaded. Music is what eats up memory.Have you looked to see what most programs use? Several times that amount :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Keon Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Just got home memory usage up 371mb. DMX Listener error 10055 no buffer space is available is repeating very quickly. the mouse will not move so I will have to kill power to stop it. no schedual is setup. no programs are being run other than LOR control panel and DMX listener. without LOR control panel running the computer sat there for 24 hours without the memory changing more than 4 mb.

See this post:http://forums.lightorama.com/forum55/28469.htmlI can't find the post at the moment that mentions suggested minimum hardware requirements for S3 but I remember them being more then the old min requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffl Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I had a buffer message like this in the status window today going nuts. Is the messages in the status viewer saved somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffl Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 It will use some page file space regardless of how much memory the machine has. I'm hoping 3.1.14 fixes the DMX failure message as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
