Low on Memory?! Cant save!

This is very annoying. May have to switch to a more reliable software, unfortunately.

Try closing all other programs you have open, especially any browsers like FireFox.  If there are any background processes or programs in the Systray that you can close, do that also.  Be sure you are saving locally to your PC.

If you can then save, then reboot after.

I had everything shut down, with 8GB ram free.

Managed to get out of it by opening another instance of Storyline and copying everything across. Restarting the original instance they copying everything back, it then managed to save after been restarted. This looks like a bug as I had so much RAM left. 

Is there anywhere I can submit one?

Thanks

We used this...(not created by our team)...but after we had so many problems and wasted time with the low memory and "cannot save" issue, we researched and tried...after install, problem went away...

AGAIN, not created by us or officially endorsed by our team..."its use at your own risk"

Christine, I stated  in my post that the solution was not ours and it is to be used "at your own risk"  

I would ask all on the Articulate team...what else do you expect us users to do?  wait for a release/update?  I'm afraid you would see a lot really peeved customers if that was the case...we know updates are coming but we cannot wait, we have customers waiting on us...

Love Sl, as do others here, we just need it to work...

Hi everyone, 

We proudly released Update 2 over the weekend and are excited to hear if it helps with the memory issues you've experienced. You can learn all about it here, and download it here. 

Thanks for your patience and help!

8 years later this is happening to me - losing a lot of work. Did the fix ever get rolled out? Anyone else still experiencing this? I'm about to lose a mornings worth of work...

Viruses and malware can cause this to happen as well.  I hope that's not the case!  Try running Free AVG if the problem persists.

If for some reason you need more open resources after doing what Gerry suggested, you can also ctrl+alt+del, go to the task manager, processes, and see if there's anything else hogging resources that you could shut down to save.

Same situation here. Still a problem. I have 8 GB RAM, shut down everything I could and after 2-3 imports or editing multiple slides or coping/duplicating slides; the problem occurs. I can't tell you how much work I've lost. Now I save every few edits, but THAT is very time consuming on a project with 3-5 or more scenes and 30-50 slides.

I haven't tried opening another instance and copying but suspect that if there's insufficient memory to save, I couldn't open another instance anyway.
