VirtualDJ - Out of memory after long session

Home userMember since 2015

Posted a bug, but I thought I'd post here for input from users.

Using Latest build of VirtualDJ 8 as of 9/5/15, on Windows PC, specs:

FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition 3.5/4.1GHZ (Base/Overdrive)
EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB DDR3
8GB DDR3
Windows 7 64-Bit

Works fine for the first 3-3.5 hours of a gig, towards end interface starts getting a little laggy.

Last weekend I had a serious crash. Started gig at 9:00 pm, and at about 12:48am started getting message that it can't find enough contiguous memory (58mb) to decompress file in memory (out of like 4gb).

Interface became very laggy, and video on external monitor started disappearing, showing windows background, and coming back.

After a few songs going this way, it eventually just crashed/disappeared.

Am going to try the "memory registry" hack, but it looks like that was for older versions years ago, and I'm not sure why any video memory settings have anything to do with loading the song itself into memory (since it's using system memory not video memory).

Please advise.

Any ideas how to close and reopen VDJ without having a break in music? Looks like you can't open a second instance, and i'd hate to have to lug around two laptops just to close the program to do its garbage collection...
