I seem to be losing large amounts of disk space while playing this game...like over 1 Gig has disappeared...any ideas...?

maybe vurtual memory

[J3Vr6]

wow, a gig to virtual memory?!

[pyro-manic]

Easily - it's supposed to be double your actual memory IIRC, so if you've got 512Mb then that's right. You can set it in System Properties-->Advanced-->Performance.

I'm not talking about how u can set virtual memory.  I'm shocked that Freespace would USE a gig of virtual memory, IN ADDITION to the regular ram the guy has.

Sometime FS isn't unloaded from virtual memory, so it uses over 1GB.

Are you using any non standard data, jpg's tga etc?

I was using the _r type exes` with a lot of command boxes ticked...ya...but I was getting command line errors too if I didn`t run in windowed mode, so I`ve gone back to using the fs_open_3_5.exe...to me the effects were not as good...I wasn`t getting the subspace hole done properly plus some other things...textures, brighgtness, detail...
I was running the _3_5.exe originally and the virtual prob came up when I started using the command line additions and the newer exe...
anybody know how too flush out all this info from the page file...

...think I found out what`s going on...(pasted from a google search)...`...to write debugging information...a program called SAVEDUMP.EXE is invoked during a fatal system error which writes the entire contents of memory to the system paging file. When the system is rebooted Windows NT copies the paging file to a file called MEMORY.DMP...`[this can be remedied by having XP clear the paging file on shutdown, a setting in local security]...and you can delete these .dmp files from your temp folder...
