Factorio Forums

As subject says, nuke was exploding, half the animation was done, then the game freezed for several time with music still playing and then ended itself.

You ran out of memory.

Mhm, this is just a medium size map I was playing, and there's ~8GB free system memory just for factorio.
In case you mean video memory, the graphics card has 4GB, 3.5GB available and factorio uses 2.5GB by default (as I can see in the logfile).

Can you reproduce the crash after a system restart and with nothing but factorio running?

There was only factorio running at this time, and no, I just loaded the save file (without restarting windows), did the same as before, and it did not happen again.
If it is really system memory that was running out, I think we might have a memory leak somewhere in the game (Was playing for ~4hrs).
Currently it uses 3.3GB, 4.5GB free memory available. I let the task manager run in the background and have a look at it after some time playing.

Factorio occupied a total of 3.6GB when windows denied the allocation for 500kB, Factorio did not cause the system to run out, it fell victim to it.

Still at 3.3GB after ~1hr, 4.5GB free memory.
Why should Windows deny 500k if there's plenty of free memory?
It could have even used swapfile memory, but why didn't it?

This is how it looks in the task manager right now:

At the time of the crash windows reported: 11438/11729 MB used and the page file at 22381/22384 MB used. As seen in the log file.

So something is eating up all the memory...
Guess if you don't get more of this reports, then it's most probably other program or service on my comp.
