Karakorum Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Is there a thread about the memory bug and how to minimise how often it crashes. If im in a game and click on tactics then 50% of the time it will crash which is stupid. Also on my network game if i join their game to watch it will crash. Its not my systems fault as I have just spent over a grand on it. Thanks, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 have you installed patch 10.1.1?? that was designed to cut down on memory usage, and it may help... if youre on Steam do NOT install it, as itll break your game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rinso Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 in that case, it shoud already be installed (i think) how many leagues are you running?? edit: may be worthwhile "checking for updates" through steam anyway... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karakorum Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Im running 30 odd leagues which is a fair amount but my comouter is more than capable of running it and processes fine really fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karakorum Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Note not 30 odd nations. 30 odd leagues from 10 ish nations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine_iron Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I got vista SP2 64 bit running smooth as (not going windows 7 until at least SP1 or even SP2), real keen optimiser, I turn off all that rubbish. My OC i7 920 rig is running nearly 40 leagues and is as cool as a cucumber and quickly. No crashes also, its all groovy baby! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karakorum Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 No ingame editors. Im on win 7 64 bit. i5 4 gb RAM and everything runs fien except for the crashes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 No ingame editors.Im on win 7 64 bit. i5 4 gb RAM and everything runs fien except for the crashes. How are the i5s? I heard they are pretty good for gaming rigs as the i7 can run hot without LC (which i have), I have 6 gigs of 1600 RAM which is perfect ATM and I am using a SSD. Its a pity about the crashes, steam file validation cures all... its always my first port of call and probably yours too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karakorum Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 i5's are graet for gaming. never runs hot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karakorum Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Not for me so far. play crysis etc on max settings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 It is the only gripe I have with my i7, the temperature it could run at if I let it get out of hand, I am almost needed to replace my fans but its worth it for the roaring power I get when running hungry programs! It has saved me hours in editing time for many things. I do hope you sort your crashing issue and continue to enjoy your i5, I would have bought one if it was out when I needed a new PC. My old one died about 5 months before the i7 came out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine_iron Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 the new corsair H50 CPU water cooler may be wat u need. its great. I said I have LC, it keeps me idle under 45 and load under 55. I not got that one, just a cheapie but it sure does work! The fans wearing out are on the radiator and they are cheapies tbh, I wont skimp on them again!
