ERROR: Out of memory. Crashes

[Uyacthu]

Everytime I start the game I get almost to the title and this error happens.


ERROR: Out of memory. Often caused by out-of-date content (rebuild!), or due to heap fragmentation!), "Misc" requested 712140140 bytes (695449.4 kB 679.1 MB) (381036048 total free (372105.5 kB 363.4 MB))

Do not have this issue with any other game.

Is there anyway that this is not a LAA game??
or is it simply a memory leak on my end?

8gbs of RAM
R9 2xx series

Sorry if this is a re-post haven't seen it.

"Is there anyway that this is not a LAA game?? " What is LAA?
What OS are you running?
Even though you have enough RAM, the game also needs Virtual Menory or Page Swap Files.
Make sure your Virtual Memory setting is high enough or let Windows control it.
Make sure you have enough Free Space on your HD and if you haven't done it in awhile, Defrag your HD.

Large Address Aware Executable.

Defrag two hours ago, memory is set accordingly and there's a few terabytes of HD space left.

Attempting a re-install of the game I'll see if it still occurs.

Is it possible you have a lot of stuff running in the background, enough to chew up so much memory the game doesn't have enough. I can't think of how many things it would take running to chew up 8Gb though.

I was running some browsers but nothing to much of a killer. I re-installed and am able to play the game without a hiccup. Only thing done differently was running Steam as Administrator. I'm going to push to try and get the error again and try and get an actual answer. Although I am still running the game on Ultra I thought about lowering some settings to see if that would help but didn't apply the changes before a fresh start so I skipped it. It's strange I have only found people with Nvidia GPU's complaining saying it was the cause of an AMD sponsored game but I have gotten it with AMD equipment. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll post any findings with tests in case you or anyone else is interested.

It seems really strange that running the game as Administrator would solve a memory problem, but it's great that it works. This is a very good game.

My thoughts exactly although I'm now having an issue with CIV V. When I want things to work they don't cooperate.

I'm having the same problem on my rig when running Tomb Raider (8 gig ram, nvidia geforce gtx 770m). So your saying when you ran Steam as Administator and that fixed the problem?

Never let Windows control the Virtual Memory Cache. Alway set it to System Run or Custom. Letting Windows control Virtual Memory Cache almost always hurts performance. That is the first setting I change as soon as I boot up a new rig or reformat because Windows Run is default. Windows Run can cause texture load issues (pop in) on many games.

Fairly new to adjusting Virtual memory, any recomendations on how best to do it?

Thank you.

No, I HIGHLY doubt running as administer fixed the problem. I think this simply was an anomoly of a hobble for a fix. I am under the assumption my memory is being clogged in somehwere. I have just re-built my rig and am testing a few different things on different RAM cards and GPU's along with a seperate non-overclocked cpu. At this point I'm just attempting everything to find a solution. I believe the bug is not with the game but with my OS.

Thanks, LeadStar for the advice.
