FunkyNote Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 So, I've been running this problem since I've instaled the game. The nightmare infinite crashes on loading screens, that make you wanna quit playing this game. Then I went searching on many forums and such and realised many people having the same issue and MANY of them claiming having a fix for it. I tryed I think all the types of fixs possible, like razer things, managing virtual memory, reinstaling the game, erasing gameguard content folder, fixing it, and some more I don't remember. big headache! So I was runing a i7 2.5gz, nvidia 720M, 4gb ram and what i did was going to the local computer store and upgraded my ram to 8gb. Its working perfectly fine now and I can even upgrade some of the graphics that i couldn't cause i had no memory to it. Just to let some people know that if you have 4gb ram and ur sistem consumes lets say 500mbs , you end having less. If you need a minimum of 4gb and you don't have it, your game probably will crash and keep crashing like mine did and the only possible way to fix it is upgrading your RAM. And if you have poor RAM and using windows 10 system is even worst. maybe with 7 you will run it, but windows 10 sucks virtual memory and ram like a *cricket*.

Enhance Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Ran 4gb ram on windows 7 for a while. Horrible experience, but it works. Game eats like 2gb by itself, rest nommed by windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyNote Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 imagine on windows 10, its barely impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper00 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Actually Windows 10 uses slightly less memory than Windows 7 does. Admittedly it's a very small difference (about 100MB on a clean fully patched install). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwannn Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 <- Win 10 with 4 gb ram .. i cant stand only bw and terrors, everything beside those 2 works fine enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emya Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Earlier, my BnS client was using around 2.3GB RAM (I have 16GB). For 32bit Windows users, maximum RAM allocated for a single program is 2GB by default. You can increase the max allocation (say, 3GB) by doing the following: 1. Open up an elevated command prompt ( cmd → right click → run as administrator) 2. Type in: "bcdedit /set increaseuserva 3072" (without the quotes) 3. Restart PC 4. Play BnS and enjoy. You can do this for the meantime if upgrading RAM is not yet an option. Also, if anyone here is still running a 32bit version of either Win7 or Win8.x and you decide to upgrade your RAM to greater than 4GB, you can upgrade to a 64bit version of Win10 for free. Hope this helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how you corrupt a system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emya Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Well yeah, don't do it if you run ANYTHING alongside BnS, even just your internet browser. If you only have your default drivers and services running (must have absolutely no background processes like Skype, etc), even if you have your AV on, you'll be fine.

Shipon Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 You can get 8gb of DDR3 ram for like $35-40 USD. Just buy more ram (assuming you have an open slot or two). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper00 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Just to add, if it's not immediately clear from the posts up above, if you are running 32bit Windows and want to upgrade your memory above 4GB, you will have to upgrade to a 64bit version of Windows. The limit on 32bit versions is 4GB. Anything over 4GB is simply ignored by 32 bit operating systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katush Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 32GB ram clocked @3000mhz on PC with 4GB discrete graphics so no problems here. My laptop however has 8GB ram @1600mhz and only 1GB shared graphics and still no problems. 4GB ram is what smartphones come with now. Any system(laptop/pc) running 4gb and under needs and upgrade to 8GB if it cant be upgraded you are in need of a new system. Another problem some people also seem to be having is the low frames on OP systems maybe this is related to processor power/config? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Profyrion Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Trying to run this game on 4GB seems like a fool's errand. Especially when RAM is so cheap. There's just no excuse. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't know what to call them :C 32bit is the size of the registry dealt with by the processor, this however does not store as much computing values compared to a 64bit enviroment/processor. As a result, this size of registry is only able to deal with 4-5 billion times less ram, idk the exact amount numbers aren't my forte. All processors nowadays are 64bit, it makes little to no sense running them in a 32bit environment unless you need them to interpret 16 bit code/installers.

To the person above the address space for a 32bit system is 2^32 = 4,294,967,296 = 4GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same way digits 0-9 "ignore" numbers 10 and above, 32-bit registry "ignores" numbers above 2^32. I was making a joke out of the saying that windows ignores the RAM, as if it disregards it and doesn't like it (or being a tsundere), rather than having no way of calling it. Speaking of processor architecture, most processors have been on 64-bit architecture since intel's Core 2 series and i-series (so like 2005), I doubt anyone uses a 32-bit processor nowadays.

There's just no excuse. :P Being fair, the game minimum and recommended specs are extremely misleading if not outright wrong. But on topic, if you have 4GB of ram and Windows 10 you might face some performance issues due to Windows 10's memory compression, when BnS unloads a map Windows 10 doesn't prune it right away, it first tries to compress it before releasing it while the BnS process is already looking for more free RAM and it just creates chaos, disabling windows 10 memory compression partially fixes the performance issues caused by this, but this is not an easy thing to do and requires editing the registry.

Probably didnt get your joke as I'm not masterful with numbers...which I did did mention earlier. And As I also mentioned earlier...unless you have to interpret 16bit code.

Mitsuyko Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 You guys are so... egh.. There is a guy who made a program to allocate the 2GB RAM to 4GB via his self made coded program: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556/ This guy is a God, he helped me via this program for 32-bit clients like BnS. Make sure to thank him on the forums, this is a really good program. Next time, do some research before complaining.. God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you should've read the thread before getting on that horse and sounding so condescending. The issue with running it on 4 GB RAM systems (in x86 too) is often not the 2GB-per-app limit, but the sheer lack of RAM to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no excuse why anybody should still use 32bit OS and 4GB of ram. 64bit OS is out for a decade now and even if you are dirt poor, you can already get a decent 64bit system for a couple of bucks.
