I am still getting this error fairly regularly when I stream continuously for about an hour or two.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

If you leave your task manager running and watch arena.exe while streaming, does the memory use continue increasing on the arena process? What about other processes?

Arena is 32 bit software, and as such is subject to memory limitations. It is possible to set the binary to be large address aware to somewhat increase this, however that only pushes the issue back somewhat. A true fix for this will come when Arena is converted to a 64 bit application in the future.

The memory for the Arena process is increasing any time it is streaming in preview mode. The other processes don't change much.

Does Arena use some sort of buffer that might be filling up while in preview mode?

We're still investigating the cause of this, there has been some luck replicating a similar issue, they may be connected.

Are you using 1.8.1?

I'm having this problem as well. I know this is a topic that is over a year old but I'm new at this and need an answer.

I have my motion capture space calibrated and synchronized, I've set the ground plain. My partner suits up and we set up his skeleton. We try to record a motion and this error pops up and the system crashes. The thing is that it works fine when we are not recording, he can move however he wants to. Basically I can't record a motion and import it into 3DS Max. Please help!

Never mind, I figured it out with help of my instructor. It was an administrator problem.
