VMS consuming much RAM

Post by Eric_RD » 16 Oct 2018, 15:34

I only have this issue on my office workstation so it might be related to the machine.

But when I leave the PC ideling for a few hours and i come back sometimes (every few days) it is hardly responding
a look to the task manager looks like this...

Even though the task manager only shows 1.something GB of ram for the VMS service, all my 16GB are filled up.

After stopping the VMS tasks everything is fine again...

Maybe you have an idea if its Ventuz related or somebody else has the same issue...

Regards, Eric

I catched a bug with having windows in the lock screen... and coming back after a weekend or 1-2 days...
but i have ventuz open and at least a scene loaded.

not by just leaving my rig turned on and nothing else open.

is there something going on with your network interface in this time? enabled/disabled automatically.. just using wifi or something else you can give a hint to reproduce this?

Hi,
well my Workstation is not the only Ventuz Workstation in our Working Environment...but I have my own Group for the Workstation.
I may have several other Programs opened like Chrome or Outlook.
The PC locks itself after a while which does not prevent VMS from eating RAM (logging back in with filled up RAM takes quite a while)...
There is no Designer or Presenter running...

Hi guys!

( VENTUZ -> Please see support ticket [#503558] )

I encountered the same problem on two workstations at a client. I worked with the developers and figured out what the problem is. VMS is trying to connect to itself again and again via websocket connection to http://"yourIP":20404/:connectToMessageServer

That is almost certainly because of Firewall settings that prevent VMS to communicate. There are only two solutions to this right now. Either you allow VMS through the firewall or you wait until the upcoming 6.01.03 release. This release will contain a new option in the "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Ventuz6\Configuration\NetworkConfig.vnetcfg" file. There you will be able to disable the VMS message connections.

Hi all,

please try V6.1.3 with a modified network config:
In "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Ventuz6\Configuration\NetworkConfig.vnetcfg" please add the following line
<VMSMessagesDisabled>true</VMSMessagesDisabled>
so you get something like
<NetworkConfig>
...
<VMSMessagesDisabled>true</VMSMessagesDisabled>
</NetworkConfig>


Best Regards
Karol

Thanks for the release. Just a quick note. This new feature is not listed in the Release Notes.

That's because it's actually a workaround for this problem here as long as we do not find the real cause for the memory leak.

Hmmm
installed 6.1.3, restarted PC after installation, edited the network config and left the PC running over night. (no energy save mode)
This is what I saw this morning...
