While I was datpacking my plugin files, Datpacker suddenly crashed and gave me "Close" or "Ignore". I tried ignore and now my RAM-usage is tru the roof and datpacker doesn't respond at all. I have tried closing usingthe taskmanager, but it wont start up.

SC4 Datpacker v8c
Vista Home 86x - dependencies installed
Asus Notebook F3S
2047mb RAM
Core2Duo T7250 @ 2.00 Gz

Any ideas?

3.11 GB. I've tried datpacking again, and it worked now. I assume that I was using to much additional RAM while the datpacker was doing its job.

You should try to keep the dat packed dats at no more than 1 GB. You were packing too much with 3GB.

I hope that 3 Gb is your plugins size, not the size of one subfolder of plugins ?

Divide wouanagaine by zero and you will in fact get one...one bad-ass that is - Alek King of SC4

That's the plugin folder. The folder itself weighs about 1.1 GB

The best way to solve this problem is to split your plugins folder into chunks of about 1 GB and pack them seperately.

IE, Make folders A, B, and C. for example: (documents/simcity4/plugins/folderA). Remove folders B and C from your plugins folder (temporarily). I usually put them in a plugins_protected folder that you will have to create yourself. Pack folder A, then remove folder A to your protected_plugins folder. Then move one of the unpacked folders into your plugins folder, pack it, remove it, and so on.
