Virtual Memory required

[gigi]

I still have the original version of Titan Quest and thought I install and if I like it again I will get the expansion pack via Steam. However, trying to play this game it tells me that I need Virtual Memory. I looked on the net and what I read is not very encouraging. I do not know why I suddenly need something like Virtual Memory when I used to play this game on my old computer and even on the laptop when I went on business trips.

Also reading the problems people seem to have here in the discussions, is not very encouraging.

Enable the use of virtual memory. It should be enabled in all cases everywhere.

Steam, probably. It's a resource hog.

Windows generally already sets virtual memory by itself. It doesn't matter how much RAM your system has, at some point you'll still need it. I have 16GB and Windows still set it to 6060MB for the C:\ drive.

It's just a temporary file that's used as a RAM overflow.

Start > Rightclick on Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Advanced. Hit 'Settings' under performance > Advanced tab > change the Virtual Memory size. (Letting Windows choose the size is usually sufficient.)

I don't see why anyone would disable it, unless they were using a 1600RPM drive... (Do they even still sell those?)
