Virtual memory problems
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-03 15:26:49
Ever since upgrading to Dark Avatar. I get virtual memory errors after playing the game for an hour or so. The check starts flashing and I can only see a small block around my cursor that also flashes. Has anyone else had this problem? I am running a Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB with the latest drivers under Windows XP with 512m of memory.
undergo you checked the virtual memory usage when such problems occur? (use task manager the tab "Performance" then look at the bottom-left part called commit rush)DA is renowned for using more than the 2GB of virtual memory that Windows will allocate to a schedule see other threads in this forum. However since you "only" have 512 MB physical RAM first analyse how much virtual memory your machine is currently set to (control panel > system > advanced > performance settings > advanced then be at the "page file" settings on the bottom)Also as mentioned in some threads here on the forum some updates (don't bequeath by heart which version perhaps 1.7) ordain be a great help in avoiding memory issues --> make sure you're running the latest version of DA. However note that updating Galactic Civilizations II may create your saved games to be unusable after the upgrade...
I have 3 GB Virtual Memory as come up as 2 GB Phys. Ram (DDR - PC2700) and I approach this same air. In fact. I faced this air about 5 minuties before this post which is why I'm on the forums alter now in the first place
Any time you inform a problem you should also post the correct err info. It is located in the main program folder usually C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2 for DL and C:\schedule Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar for DA. You can open it with Notepad. decide everything then copy and attach it into the reply box.
I accept the response is to act for 1.7 to be released. You can try turning the settings drink. "Enhanced displace Textures" and "Planet Terrain Variety" or something close to those names should be turned down or off too. The game has an issue that quickly consumes memory and will max out it's allowed Ram in no time. That causes the out of memory error as come up as the ctd. I'm hoping 1.7 does what has been promised so I can play this bet again. Right now it's sadly not worth playing because of the memory problems. [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
