Hi everyone,

I'm facing a critical issue with Trados Studio 2022 (version 17.2.11.19134) on Windows 11 Home, and I hope someone here might have encountered this before or has a workaround.

Whenever I try to save my current project, I get an error message that says, "An exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown." This only started happening today as I’m nearing the end of the project. I didn’t encounter this issue when I started working on it.

Here’s a quick overview of my project and system:

• The project is relatively large, with 22,000 words, a file size of 268 MB, and a TM of 32.9 MB.
• My computer has 16GB of RAM, and I’ve already freed up over 60GB of disk space.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far to resolve the issue:

• I deleted some Translation Memories (TM) from the project to reduce the memory load, but this didn’t make a difference.
• I closed all other applications to ensure Trados has maximum access to my system resources.

Here’s the full error log:

<SDLErrorDetails time="27/10/2024 19:39:50">

</SDLErrorDetails>

Since I don’t want to lose my progress, I can’t close and reopen the software at this point. Does anyone know if I can rely on Trados' autosave feature, and, more importantly, how to access the autosave files to check if they’re recent enough for recovery? Any guidance on locating and restoring them would be very helpful.

Thank you for any suggestions!
