What do I do with the Virtual Memory Initial Size and Maximum Size ?

Any help will be sensational.

 

[Fredescu]

It's been a long time since I've bothered to manually set the page file size on a workstation, but if you set it to the same size as you're RAM you're probably ok. We used to set it to 1.5 times back in the day but I doubt you need to bother with that.

I tried (following internet advice http://blogs.technet.com/b/markrussinovich/archive/2008/11/17/3155406.aspx ) setting the initial value at 1.5 size of RAM (6000 MB) and maximum at 3 times RAM (12000).

Still getting that warning. 617 MB of total physical and virtual memory.

Post a dxdiag in here so we can see what the actual set up of the system is.

Open the start menu and type dxdiag in the find box, then hit enter. If it asks to check for digitally signed drivers, say yes.

Then click 'Save All Information' and post the contents of the text file.

That's server stuff. Overthinking it a bit for a desktop, but it's not going to do any harm.

I asked before. What is telling you this?

 

[Salazar]

I asked before. What is telling you this?

A window that opens when I try to run Mount and Blade.

I did install a DirectX somethingorother when I was installing Mount and Blade - which struck me as odd.

I'm running the Diagnostic thing now, but it's extraordinarily slow.

 

[legend166]

dxdiag takes about 1 second for me to run. Some something is up.

 

[evlcookie]

Have you tried turning it off and on again? I'm serious too!

How much ram shows up in the initial bios boot or if it's uefi based it might tell you in the bios. If it days 4GB then it's a windows issue, probably something dodgy. Maybe securom fucked things up after your witcher 2 install, if u did it from a retail disc.

 

[Fredescu]

A window that opens when I try to run Mount and Blade.

This error?

It seems that you currently have 644 MB of available total physical and virtual memory. Mount&Blade requires at least 700 MB of available memory in order to run without a problem. If Mount&Blade continuously crashes during your play, please close some of your programs before starting Mount&Blade or increase your virtual memory from Control Panel

Have you tried just installing it and running it anyway? I think it's just M&B being stupid. There are a few posts about it on their forum, with people saying they get the error and it runs fine anyway.

 

[Danoss]

If all other programs are closed and Mount and Blade are having that issue, I would be looking towards Mount and Blade.

Your physical memory is 4GB and you have set your virtual memory to 6GB, for 10GB minimum total memory and a maximum of 16GB. If anything is chewing up over 15.5GB of memory, I'll eat my hat.

Yeah, that error. Exactly - though the amount it says I have available fluctuates slightly.

I'm heartened by that - but dxdiag just refuses, basically, to get through a complete check of the system. So that bothers me.

 

[Fredescu]

but dxdiag just refuses, basically, to get through a complete check of the system. So that bothers me.

I think it's just checking online whether your drivers are digitally signed. It could be having trouble connecting to wherever it has to connect to find that out. Untick "Check for WHQL Signatures" and see if it stops checking or whatever.

Ok. It just finished its check - just after I posted. The txt file is pretty fucking immense.

Side note: It looks like I can run Crysis high-very high fine - so I refuse to accept that Mount and Blade is memory-starved.

Sorry about the panic, fellas. Cheers.

 

[Fredescu]

Yeah, don't worry about posting it yet. IMO, ignore the error, install M&B, and see how it runs. If it seems fine, it's just the installer being stupid.

This is the same map we found the jungle in, but we are going west now, kritz has found about 8 hearts tonight...

Damn I can't wait to build my PC.

Gaffers have been able to change their Location in the Kindle settings, thereby making the US Store available - while keeping your Amazon shipping address the same.

Haven't done it myself, but it is apparently feasible.

It's more popular than CoD!

I tell you, it's weird to hear an Aussie as your "mechanic" in Dirt 3.

 

[jambo]

modern warfare 3 looks fuck awesome

It looks like the same CoD I played a year ago, and 2 years ago, and 3 years ago, and 4 years ago.

CoD 2 - October 25, 2005
CoD 3 - November 7, 2006
CoD 4 - November 5, 2007
CoD 5 - November 11, 2008
CoD 6 - November 10, 2009
CoD 7 - November 9, 2010
CoD 8 - November 8, 2011

It's as bad as the sports rehashes.

I hear you need an actual US address, contemplating whether or not to use a real one off a friend or just to enter 123 fake street springfield

 

[Danoss]

Well, thats not hard, use the American white pages or something. My US address on Amazon is the Mariott hotel in San Fransisco.

 

[Gazunta]

God damn it now you got me missing the time I stayed in the Marriott in San Francisco last year

Right, fuck this, time to become mega famous and get flown about the place.

Do you? I just selected America from a drop down menu in my Kindle account settings.

Mount and Blade is pretty badass.

Laughed like a jackass through the tutorial. Fought some dudes in a training field. Set off for a town. Bought a fish. Trained some peasants - though not very well, because I kept on knocking one of them out. Went to the next village, recruited some dudes by paying for their armour.

I have no idea what happens next.

Go farm on some tundra or forest bandits with your small crew to level them up, also sell the gear you get off them for some cash to recruit more peasants. Avoid sea bandits, they aren't no garden variety bandits.

Edit: At first your character should allow you to take out slightly larger groups of enemies than your own, as the game progresses you become a bit of a superhero. Talk to village elders in villages and mayors of towns for jobs to get some additional income, but avoid the kill a specific group of bandit ones.

Finally, every major town you pass check out the tavern to pick up certain 'hero' units. Heroes level up like you do and get knocked out instead of dying. With them you can create skill dump characters so that your character can focus on survival/death dealing skills. Each hero dislikes two other heroes, and their morale will go down if they are in a party with someone they hate. So you can't just stuff your party full of them.

Once you have gained a decent troop try talking to the various lords you meet, in cities and in the field, and ask them if they have any tasks for you. At least one of them will say they are recruiting for their faction and you can join it as a mercenary. Once you've provided your services for a while, and have gained some more renown, the king of that faction will offer you a fief and you become a lord.

Should be enough to last you a few hours at least.

 

[Salazar]

Ok. So attack any dudes who look weaker or less numerous than us.

I think I have a band of five at the moment.

Edit: Cheers - I think I'll dick around in Crysis for a while. I can't be fucked trying to run Witcher 2 until patches and such are out.

That is pretty much the coolest thing ive ever seen. Reminds me of (the awesome) wonderboys and another of my favorite games, Cadash.

Only available for windows though... Fucking shit sucks.

I remember trying to run Windows 7 under that. Could barely run itself or a web browser, let alone a game.

On the site or on your Kindle?

 

[Sutton Dagger]

It should run Windows fine, I'm running Win7 and playing heaps of games.

 

[Danoss]

On the website.

All I did was add a fake US address to my address book (I forget why). After that, change your kindle region to US and shop away. Couldn't be easier.

 

[jambo]

Might have been back when just came out, I've heard it's a lot better these days for Win7.

 

[markot]

Isnt it pretty much just like putting a windows partition on your system >_<?

I dont know, but ive never heard much bad about it. Its not like apple uses proprietary hardware, its all off the shelf mostly with windows drivers already available.

 

[Danoss]

It was, they must have fixed it. They'd be in trouble if they hadn't, cause it was absolutely horrid.

lol Wilks

gaz, who are you, and where are you from

Probably quicker if you go to gazunta.com and poke around, especially the Writing and Video Games pages

I didn't even put in an American address and I could still change the region. It allows me to browse the US Kindle store on my Kindle, but I haven't bought anything yet.

 

[Aon]

The Video Game page doesn't list Blade Kitten? I thought that was your brain child.
