If I load more than one car, the game crashes due to "Virtual Memory Limits"

    Since the 5.3.2 update, I haven't been able to load more than one car in any map without the game crashing with an error like: Virtual memory limits exceeded, 64 bit recommended.
    I have a 64 bit machine, and have not had any problems like this with the game in the past. I've tried disabling and deleting all of my mods, and have reinstalled the game twice, and the error still occurs. Anyone else got this bug?

    Does it happen on all maps or certain ones?
    And, have you checked how much avalaible (free) RAM your system has when you run BeamNG?

    More informations about your machine specs would be useful too

    I had a similar error. I'm guessing you run it on steam, right? If so, Steam is launching the 32bit version of the game. Here's how I fixed it:

    Go to file explorer and go to Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.Drive\Bin 64 and then take BeamNG.Drive.exe and copy it to your desktop.

    Run this shortcut from now on. You can get the shortcut on steam by clicking add game and add the shortcut inside of steam.


    This should fix your issue

    It happens on all the default maps, and I've also tried it on baja hills, which crashes in the same circumstances. I've noticed the error also happens when changing cars sometimes too.
    I have about 3 gigabytes free while playing beamng, but when the error occurs the memory leaks until it tops out. I decided to run task manager to see what happens when it crashes, and the DXdiag process appears when it crashes, though I'm not sure whether that has any relevance.

    my specs:
    Core i5 2500k
    8gb kingston ddr3 RAM
    GTX 780
    as-rock h61m-vs
    the game runs on a 7200rpm drive.

    I've tried running the x64 version of the EXE, and instead of giving me the exceeds virtual memory limits error, it just crashes straight to desktop when I change car/get two cars

    Press the Support button in the launcher and provide the SUPPORT ID number only.
    There is no need to send a Support Ticket.

    He said the launcher. Not the title screen of the game.

    Really? It should be... I think. I just got a shortcut to the game when I pressed lots of buttons. I can run up to 4 cars without a single lag on every default map. Infact, on matrix freeway pretty much every crash I do (a lot) has up to 5 cars and I don't lag a bit.

    Well, I'm not a computer guy, but it should be there.

    I'll just look it up... Since having the 32 bit version is preventing me from doing any scenarios...

    You can access the game directory also in the following way:

    Go to your Steam Library
    Right-Click 'BeamNG.Drive'
    Go to Properties
    Go to 'Local Files' tab
    Go to 'Browse Local Files'.

    A window will open and you will be in Steam/Steamapps/Common/BeamNG.Drive

    Is the "Beamng.drive.exe" supposed to be "Beamng.drive.x64"? If it is, when I drag the "Beamng.drive.x64" to my desktop, I can't use it... I can only use the shortcut that Steam put on my desktop... :/

    No, it's not. The 64-bit .exe is in the Bin64 folder. Also, you can't drag an .exe on your desktop and run it. You need to make a shortcut. The original .exe need to be in the correct place (ie where it is originally)

    Okay I did that... but now I have a critical error "Less than 4B of memory, not enough to run some levels" or something like that, before it wasn't a critical error, only a minor because of the ram..

    Open TaskManager and check how much Available RAM you have (Not the total RAM!)
