CryEngine SDK CRASH : The solution that worked for me

[Babou]

The SDK crash seems to be known since 2013 (editor and games). The virtual memory of you computer need to be managed by Windows. Crytek engine need it. Why ? I don't know. We are in 2017 and most of computer have at least 16gb memory, and sometimes more, but if your Windows virtual memory is defined, you have a lot of chances for crash with the fu***g message "Cryengine SDK blablabla". I don't tell it will work for you, but for me, it worked perfect. Before i could play 10-15mn before crash and since i left Windows managed the VM (i was defined it on 200mb and it will work perfectly with all other games and preserves SSD disk ), no more SDK crashes at all.

How to change/verify the VM is correctly defined (Win 10) ?
Right click on "This PC" icon on you desktop, Properties, Advanced Parameters, Performances->Parameters, Advanced Tab, Modify, and Automatic managment (1 case to check). Restart PC. It's done.

Warning : some HD software can manage your VM. Don't forget to verify it.

I hope this will help some of you.

Are you saying "Automatic" should be turned off?

Should "Custom Size" be used, or should "System Managed Size" be selected?

[Babou]

Automatic on, leave Windows manages your VM. No prob with SDK crash since i made that.

[Babou]

No custom size. Sry my system is in french.

You can find this issue with others Cryengine game and editor. For me, the game works perfect now. I tried to test again with managed user VM and the game crash for me. I leave Windows manage it, it's perfect, i can play all the time i want without crashes. I hope it will help you and others players. I continue investigations 'cause it seems my solution doesn't work for everyone. I'll post if i find something else.
