Out of Memory Error [Fixed?]

from GalCiv4 Forums

[UPDATE] Increased Windows Page File to 5GB. No crash so far...

I received an Out of Memory error at turn 3.

There is 32GB of RAM installed and there were 15GB free when the game crashed.

Any settings I should be looking at?

Thanks,

Richard

I think GCIV likes you to have a page file.

I think GCIV likes you to have a page file.

I first had it set to the minimum (800MB). When I upped it to 5GB, everything worked fine.

I shouldn't need that much considering there is 32GB RAM installed on this computer.

Go figure...

I have a Rainmeter widget on the desktop showing Pagefile size and usage.

Prior to this, I had it set to 800MB. I changed it to Windows managed and it now reads 32GB! That's nuts! I'll be dropping that back to a more reasonable size.
