Memory errors leading to game crashes

If you think that saving to your OneDrive when you have limited space might be causing you the issue, why not play off the save file locally, and find out if that is the cause?

I played locally on your save file for 5 cycles and did not have any issues.  It started at 6.5GB memory usage, and ended at 7.7GB (I have 32GB total). How much memory usage are you seeing when you play?

5 cycles?  Did you get the petroleum boiler working?  Just kidding...

I would totally play locally, I just don't know how to migrate my saves to somewhere else without losing data. I combed through settings and didn't see a way to point the save folder somewhere else. However, I did clear out as much of the one-drive as I could (about 50% of it was being taken up by auto-saves just from ONI), so if that was the cause then perhaps I've bought some time.

ONI is currently taking up between 5.5 and 6.5gb of my memory. Though with other background processes running, I'm at 10.8gb total right now, which is 68% of available memory. I could see a world where a long session might cause that number to climb up closer and closer to 100%. 

Try running System File Checker, the error (0x8007000e) indicates that it's having issues saving in OneDrive. You can try configuring OneDrive sync settings to de-select the game folder.

The out of memory issue is a secondary issue, it just prevented the in game crash report from being submitted to us. Could you check if there is a file that starts with SimDLL_CRASH in your install directory and attach it here, or if it's too large let me know the file size? (right click the game in Steam -> Manage -> Browse local files)

Thanks for the tips!  I'll try to clean up and reconfigure OneDrive, and run the system file checker. Attached are two of the recent SimDLL_CRASH files.
