[SOLVED] Fatal error in gc - Too many heap sections

[The_Unk]

Good... Game doesn't work!

Fatal error in gc
Too many heap sections

UPDATE:

To resolve this problem you have to do this:

- Click on Start - and in search type regedit and press enter.
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems\
- Make backup of your key! Click on File menu and choose Export. Give it a name and choose the destination. Click Save and there it is - a backup of your SubSystems reg key. Just in case you want the original key back.
- Doubleclick on Windows key in the right pane.
-In Value data field scroll left or right using arrow keys until you find this:
SharedSection=1024,3072,512. Change 3072 into 4096 so it reads: SharedSection=1024,4096,512

- Right-click Command Prompt in the Accessories program group of the Start menu. Click Run as Administrator.
- At the command prompt, enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 4096"

- Restart the computer.
- Start the game and wait (you have to wait several minutes)!

This works for me!

PS: I've Vista 32-bit and 3gb of ram and i set 4096, if you have more ram you can set a bigger number

UPDATE 2:

- Your antivirus could be a problem! Try to disable it when you play!

UPDATE 3:

Work for me!

I want sya something. The original number that appears in my Shared Section was 1024,12228,512. First I change the 12228 for 4096, as you say, but don't work, late, I cahnge it for 24300, and work! Thanks!

If you have SharedSection=1024,12228,512. Try to change 12228 into 24300

This trick works for many people because Windows 32-bit had a ram limitation (3gb) and the game doesn't start because needs minimum 4gb, so it crashes! When you change the ram limit to 4096 game "thinks" that you have enought ram and don't crashes and you can play it but, of course, the game runs slowly! It's strange that doesn't work for you... When you start a new game do you see the message Fatal error in gc or looks like that the game freeze? Because you have to wait for a long time (10 or 15 minutes) during the loading!

[GeorgeIdd]

Ahh I see, thanks, nope. I just started the game and clicked "Start" and the Loading sign appeared then about 10 seconds later the game crashes to the desktop. So do you believe if I bought a few more MB of RAM to make it up to 4GB then I'd be able to play? I can do so easily. Thanks for the help mate

No, because with Windows 32-bit you can use only 3 or less gb of ram! But you can install Windows 7 64-bit and then increase ram!

theres no way AMD is the most common how can they make a game that cant support AMD

[SmkCrkWrshpS8n]

ok so i just followed your instructions and my SharedSection reads 1024,12288,512
Not sure if its supposed to read like that lol. I have windows 7 32bit and 8 gb RAM.

I recieved a crash report from the game. How would I go about sending this to the devs?

[kbmodigity]

change the middle number 12288 to 4096, Mine was higher too but it fixed it for me. Dont forget to do the last part of the fix too with the command prompt

[StinkyCash]

Yo this worked for me, serious props to OP. The thing is, the game doesn't run too well and it also doesn't seem like down grading the graphics in the options actually take effect. I've noticed I'll apply the lowest settings, run the game, and they load up with the default maxed out settings (at least, everything is set to high). Any word on this?
