TomHAVFC Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 While I was playing FM09 I got a box appear that said, "Football Manager 2009 has run out of Virtual Memory and will need to close." I thought fair enough and loaded it up again just incase it was a one off but it happened again. Today I installed FM08 while my laptop is getting fixed and just after I had finished my first friendly I got this error message again. "Football Manager 2008 has run out of Virtual Memory and will need to close." What's going on and can anyone help? Cheers guys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Wakeford Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Increase the size of your virtual paging file. You can do this by following this path: Right Click on My Computer and select Properties. Select the Advanced tab and under Performance click Settings. Select the Advanced tab and under Virtual memory select Change. Virtual memory mimics RAM but uses HDD space, so be careful how much you increase it by.

Glenn Wakeford Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 That's quite small, I'm guessing the HDD isn't very big or is quite full? What's it recommending you use? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Wakeford Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hah! Well, I'd try for somewhere between 350-400 and see how that goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipknot67 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I've had this error to, though only in 08, your post got me thinking Skorp, would increasing this value mean I could run more leagues as the pc would effectively have more empty disk space?

Glenn Wakeford Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I wouldn't say that you could run more leagues but you are likely to witness a very small performance increase. By that I don't mean the game would necessarily run any noticeably quicker or allow larger games but it would help prevent the game from using up too much RAM and use the RAM and the Virtual memory slightly more efficiently.

slipknot67 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Thanks for confirming that for me, I kinda thought that would be the case, but thought I'd check to make sure before messing with pc settings I don't really know anything about...will defo keep that in mind though in case I do end up running out of memory in my 09 save. (although getting sacked and starting a new save is probs much more likely, given my recent run of bad form).:o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
