Game keeps crashing.

[Farm Pyjamas]

After playing a 80x80 game for about 20 minutes my game always crashes every 5-10 minutes and I have no clue how to fix it. I know for sure my computer can handle it but I'm starting to think I wasted my money.

lack of RAM i guess, try to play smaller maps

I've had similar problem. the symptom is like

- random crashing in 5min~1hours for no apparent reason.
- windows crash reports say some problems on mohoengine dll(or other dlls - also seems random)
- its largely application level error(no OS crash) but although rare, blue screen happens too
(about memory management)

I solved it by... popping out one of my ram stick from my pc. No kidding! Not that memory stick is bad or something(it passed memtest86+ 48hrs) This seems to be addressable memory space problem. This seems to happens when

- OS is 32bit XP or VISTA AND your vga card driver is pre-WDDM driver mode.
- total memory(mainboard ram + vga card memory) is more than 4GB(mine was 4gb(2gb*2) ram+2gb vga card memory)
- (maybe)nvidia driver?

In my definitely wild and inaccurate guess, since 32bit OS can address only 4GB of address space, the OS and vga driver needs to do some memory mapping/swapping tricks in configuration like this, and there seems to be some limitation/defect in OS or driver(or supcom itself?) doing this.
Anyway after reducing my mainboard ram to 2gb(so total memory not exceeding 4gb), I'm enjoying crashless games (6+ hours straight) now. good luck!

Usually caused by a weak CPU. This game is much less reliant on RAM and instead uses CPU to calculate all the trajectories and movements. Upgrade, or just play on smaller maps. This game only needs like 1 gig of RAM to render the environments, everything else is the processor's responsibility

no idea what the issue is i have a i7 4770k 16gb ram GTX 970 and still crash about 10-20 through the game the only thing that seemed to work was to save your progress over and over

sounds like a combatibility issue go to the games exe destination then right click press properties compatibility and switch compatibility mode for xp

No kidding that trajectories are taken care of by the CPU. Has memory ever been known to perform computations? And 1GB of RAM? you do realise the operating system isn't completely unloaded when you start an application, right? Please go away, you have no idea what you are speaking of and it's painful to read.

shut the hell up i research for errors and crashes im actually a computer maintanence personel u cheeky git

when i first got the game it used to always do that, the game is so old its not designed for decent computers with 8gb of ram or anything like it so you need to add a large address ware header to the .exe file, at least thats what worked for me, heres a link, hope it helps http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556/
