Hi my spec are cpu is intel core i5 4690k quad core 3.5 my graphics card is nvida gtx 970 4gb. Memory is 2 x 8gb. Any ideas please

[dogdaddonga]

yep its the infamous 970 3.5gb vram issue
consider sidegrading to something with 8gb of vram like a 480 580 390x or vega 56?

Thanks for your reply do I haven’t got too much knowledge with computers
. So it’s a new graphics card I need?

Check the so called "page size" in windows. Mine was default set to 1GB, which crashed the game every time it tried to load textures. Set it to at least 4GB if you have enough space. Just Google for windows page size and how to change it manually.

Hopefully they can make a fix for people with same issues as us. It might be the case we need to upgrade pc :(

Hi guys,

So I have looked into the issue a lot of people have been having with crashes in Squad when it comes to memory errors and freezing just after joining a server. The issue is related to the amount of virtual memory players are dedicating to the drive in which they have the game stored. Playing with this idea I have been changing the values of the memory on my drive and have managed to stop all crashes and freezing by increasing the memory from 3936 to 6936. This gives the game an extra 3 GBs and has the game running smoothly. Make sure to do this on an SSD as there are still some crashes when doing this on an HDD during map rotation. However, it will still work on a HDD for the most part.

Been having memory error crashes in this and Post Scriptum since latest update, was fine before but having them now with 16gb Ram & 8gb Vram so maybe a new GPU with more Vram won't fix your issue.

i followed cg bubba instructions and my game works fine now and ive put my graphics back to epic so all happy:) thanks for the help. hope it works for everyone else too
