OUT OF MEMORY POSSIBLE FIX

[Stig783]

For those of you encountering this error I believe I've found a possible solution. When running this game in higher resolutions it requires more then 2GB of Memory. You need to use a program called "Large Address Aware" which will allow the program to use more than 2GB.

Download for LAA - http://www.moddb.com/downloads/large-address-aware1
Simply drag the file into the games main directory where the WIC.exe file is located, then open LAA and you should see WIC.exe. Select that and click the checkbox "Allow Application to use more than 2GB of Memory"

Save the file and launch the game.

Since applying this fix to the .exe file I haven't experienced the Out of Memory crash. This is on Windows 10 but should work for older OS's too.

Thanks for the suggestion. This appears to have resolved the issue for me. It was crashing even when I tried to save a game but I've not had any issues since using LAA.

I tried it following your instructions and I get a steam Error 56 when I try start the game. Any fix for this?

I did the LAA stuff and get error code 51 now... :/

Don't know if you're still looking for a fix, but I'll reply anyway for anyone else looking.

The steam version of World in Conflict is inferior to the Complete Edition version you can get from somewhere like GOG. It's actually on sale for super cheap right now at the time of writing. As far as I have looked, it doesn't seem like there is any easy way of getting the steam version to run because of Error 56, though you could try and look at the download link in this GOG forum thread and see if it works for you:

The problem seems to be to do with the game not running on CPUs with more than 4 cores. I was able to play this game recently on a quad core CPU on Windows 10 running in Windows XP (SP2) compatibility mode, but I have since upgraded to a 12 core CPU and Windows 11 and can no longer run it.

However, I bought the GOG version and applied this patch and it worked without problems with my 12 core CPU.

You are correct, the game doesn't support more than 4 Cores unless you copy the files from that patch into the WIC folder.

Several years later, can confirm so far this fix still works. Thanks!

[jglenn1562]

I can confirm, about 6 years later, that this did fix the problem, thank you very much for the share!

This is the GOG copy of the game unfortunately, I wish I had the Steam version since I like having everything properly in one library.
