    Default HEM 2 using so much memory that the PokerStars client crashes

    HEM 2 using so much memory that the PokerStars client crashes. Is there a way to prevent this? I already have stopped the NoteCaddy notes from running while I play.

    Thanks

    Next time the issue occurs, close HM2 and send the log file to hm2support@holdemmanager.com with a link to this thread.

    Where is my log file?

    XP: c:\documents and settings\{username}\application data\HoldemManager

    Win7/Vista: c:\users\{username}\appdata\roaming\HoldemManager

    Enable the option to see Hidden Files and Disable 'Hide protected operating system files': How to see hidden files in Windows - It should look like this: http://rvgsoftware.fileburst.com/images/hidden.jpg

    Thank you.

    So was this ever resolved cuz I have this problem too. HEM2 eats all available physical memory. No poker clients running and it's idle on home tab, it will start using memory until there is no more. I think it might be trying to do a previous background database import (but I can't see anything happening), Is there a way to show background taks.
    Eventually it will just freeze and die.

    Which Operating System, Firew all, and Anti-Virus are you using?
    How much RAM do you have?


    If you click on CRTL-ALT-DEL--> run Windows Task Manager, and you can see which programs are using RAM/CPU.

    I am having a terrible time with HEM2 using all my physical memory and my computer freezing or going so slow I time out at all tables every 20secondsish

    I have 6gb DDR3 RAM
    2052 mb physical memory (which task manager always shows HEM2 at like 550-900mbs its using and each poker client like 100-150mb and I'll have 0 free physical memory)
    windows 7
    gdata 2012 edition anti-virus (uses only like 50mb on task manager)

    I meant 550-900k being used at a given time for HEM2 (790k while trying to type this - each web page takes 10s to load)
    and 12-17k being used by the anti virus and I assume my firewall G Data 2012 edition

    Task Manager shows:
    CPU usage 15% (all i have running is HEM2 and 2 poker clients are open with no tables open atm and just this webpage)
    Physical memory at 98%
    0 free memory
    I have 4094mb memory reserved in resource monitor and maybe that's a problem? I tried googling that and looks like some people had problems there

    Please help! can't use my computer unless I close Hem2 and timed out with aces twice cuz of lag haha

    Update: HM2: http://www.holdemmanager.com/Downloa...AutoUpdate.exe


    If HM uses 800 MB of RAM (=13%), which other programs are using the remaining 85%?
    What's the size of your virtual memory? (the swap file/page file)

    perhaps antivirus is the cause.
    Please do this
    Files to exclude in antivirus\firewall
    postgresql/Х.x/bin\pg_ctl.exe
    postgres.exe
    all pokerclients EXE

    in C:\Program Files\Holdem Manager 2\
    HoldemManager.exe
    HudFuncsApp.exe
    TableScannerDllLoader.exe
    ThirtyTwoBitIPC.exe

    Folders to exclude (totally):
    postgresql\data
    hmarchive
    hm2archive
    all folders where rooms writes original HHs
    and this folder:
    C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\HoldemManager\
    Showing hidden files: How to show hidden files in Windows 7
    XP: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\HoldemManager
    Showing hidden files: Microsoft Corporation
