Re: 16GB memory, but getting "Out of Memory" errors
The out of memory error might refer to other memory restrictions in place than total amount of RAM. As to what those are, your guess is as good as mine.

Re: 16GB memory, but getting "Out of Memory" errors
Flare is still compiled as a 32-bit application. So, I think I am right in saying that Flare can only use a maximum of 4GB or RAM, no matter how much is installed on the machine.
If you can consistently cause the out of memory error to occur, it might be interesting to have Task Manager running in the foreground while Flare is building to see just how much memory it is actually using, and how much RAM is free on your machine.
