my pc is cool now, I have noticed that 1GB of RAM vanished of the system, before, and then after a reset its back to normal now, so I think it's hardware related

the problem seems to be freestyler v3.0.1, it used 800MB ram then I open the program, And on that time, I think one of my ram sticks did not make contact because I'm very near the coast, like in 50 meter, and It's very moist there, And that PC have been not used for 5 weeks

Freestyler uses 41 MB ram on a 15 step max "[NumberOfScenes]"

I have edited my freestyler.ini file so that I have a max of 999 steps, this is probably why it uses 800mb of ram

I tested it, you are right. I did'nt notice this before. (because I use max 99 steps).
I don't think we could call this a bug. Its just harsh memory use.
Maybe LJ_Raph (the developer) can say something about it.

Yea, I don’t know if it a bug, because I don’t know programming and I have no idea how the technical part of DMX signals and so on.


But it’s strange why it needs 800+ MB ram for it’s steps, because that’s a lot of RAM
Maybe a memory leak, like people call it, I know the old sound to light for freestyler was crazy of CPU resources and the sound to light v2 is awesome!!!


The reason why I used that many steps is because I use it for a laser with 180 steps, more steps makes it look so much better, and 15 steps doesnt do it for me then using a laser
