There is no crash recorded in that log, wa it taken from just after this problem happened? If not can we get one that was please?

You are a little low on memory, 10gb in this system and the game's minimum is 8gb - make sure you unload every other app you can before you start the game.

Yeah I did a drop specifically to get the info. I started a career to see if I had any issues there and had no problems, and Ive even dropped the contract for that Flashpoint and restarted it, did the 1st part of it and no problems. It has only been with the second part of the Flashpoint that any issue has cropped up. I'll give it another go and will let ya know what happens.
 
It crashed hard this time. So much of a crash monitors went into power save mode. Oh and the Flashpoints name is Yang Viratens Big Score II.
The 2nd output_log.txt is from the same folder as the error.log file

As I suspected:
DynamicHeapAllocator out of memory - Could not get memory for large allocation 2097152!
Could not allocate memory: System out of memory!

82% physical memory in use.
10180 MB physical memory [1784 MB free].
7563 MB process peak paging file [7562 MB used].
I think that's saying your Windows paging file is only 7.5gb; for our other Unity game Cities Skylines we are recommending 32gb! Whatever it's max size is set to please increase it dramatically. And unload every other app you can before starting the game.

Good luck with that!

Thanks Much! That did the trick. I set both my HDD's to 32GB page files. As far as shutting down background programs...that was already in effect. That being said the amount of bloat Win10 has is exasperating. Remember when you could pare down your start up processes to 20-30 processes? Boy howdy do I miss those XP days. I dont use Cortana nor do I have an xbox or a tablet or a smart phone, and if I did I wouldnt link them with my PC.
Thanks again for the advice! We can color this one Fixed!
