Run out of Memory?

I have been getting the same lately. Have not had it since updating the rig last year. Can only think that stuff has got more memory intensive or some cache clearing thing buffer thing not working as it should. Dunno - need a techy.

 

PC Tech in the house. 6 years experience and counting.

Memory problem is not good. What operating system do you have? 32bit or 64bit windows? You can use Windows Task manager to see which process is taking lots of memory. Also try to check your page file/virtual memory. Also you can use "Anvir Task Manager Free" to manage your start ups. It's better than windows task manager. You can even find what program it's taking up memory on your taskbar. It's has a lot more features but you have to try it. It also could be that your are running out of hard disk pace. Check how much free space you have. Also do defragment regularly. Making video a lot tends to fragment your hard disk faster then anything else.

If you keep having problems Mindstar9 just contact via pm and I give you my e-mail and I could find a solution for you.

 

I'm having the same issue... I hoping for a "stability" patch.

 

i get the same issue when i hit an area with shedloads of people. i'm due for an upgrade tbh...the least of which will be the operating system to Windows 7 64bit to take proper advantage of the 4Gb RAM and the 64bit chip i have...XP 32 just isn't cutting it anymore

 

In my OS EU is taking almost 1.5gb of memory. You have 4gb seems to be ok. I have 4gb too. But I have a 9800gt nvidia. In the mean time you probably have to avoid PA.

Doesn't sound good at all. I guess people that are not having problems with PA should post here with thier PC Specification. Looks like it's time for some upgrades.

 

It's just because the server is so busy at the moment. In a day or two I doubt you'll have any problems, and if you go to another server area you should be OK now.

Any other software you have running will eat more memory, but I wouldn't have thought your radio software will be using much.

 

It's probably the scenery + many ava's that have to be loaded at PA now. Slide the render bar to the left or lower details in general perhaps.

You can also check if you've the windows swap file enabled (I've it disabled on 8GB, no problems yet, but with 4GB it can be a problem now). Think the same problem may occur without the radio software, but I'd check the taskmanager how much it uses anyways.

I read many people have memory issues atm.

 

Same problem here. Win XP Pro 32bit with 4 GB RAM, system reports 3.25 GB available.

 

When I go to PA and change my setting from all safe (aside from the slider and the 2 options under there) to high or very high it suddenly uses 600 MB more memory.
That said, billies area uses 250 MB less memory on the semi-safe setting than PA already.

That swapfile is about 5GB in size it seems and is only half used. The physical memory is appearantly running low enough to trigger the warning.

You could look in the processes tab for memory hungry thingies, including the radio. See if anything not required could be booted.
If plenty people experience difficulties perhaps a patch will come (or the requirements will be adjusted for high settings from 2 to 4GB).

 

I guess we need to have computers of this spec when there lots of noobs in PA.

Core i7 processor with Hyper Threading
6GB DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600Mhz PC3 12800 Ram
2 x 1000GB hard Drive raid 0 + backup
GeForce GTX 470 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16

This will probably stand all the noobs in PA.

 

Don't we just love the new vehicles?

I havent had this problem yet (then again, I havent had time to play much yet) - but something tells me it's all the new things going on in game now - it just can't handle it anymore. We had problems before - and it was hell enough with cars ... lol

I hope your problem will be solved soon MindStar - I USE to have this - but then Peter got me more ram ...

 

Well I just did a run around a reasonably active PA and had no issues.

However I run on low graphics settings simply because it loads a lot faster (noticable in storage, teleporting to new areas, or just running around).

Even then I was only getting ~20 FPS, which is pretty terrible for CE2 at low settings.

Not sure what is causing it, however Entropia has always chugged along and been a resource hog and that doesn't seem to be improving very much even with CE2.

Almost EVERYONE I know that plays this game had to do exactly that when Cry2 came along

 

...that you fancy a raspberry sandwich ?

 

something everyone is missing is that there's memory and there's memory. 4GB RAM might only 50% utilised, but what about the GPU memory?

at a deeper techie level, and this might not be the case, i wonder if "out of memory" errors can be triggered by processer cache misses or the such. from time to time ive had out of memory with other (non game) apps that didnt reflect the main memory usage.
