Page File Crashing

April 13, 2006 10:50 AM from

I have noticed that about 2 hours into every game I play, galactic civilizations 2 crashes. I happened to catch windows saying there was a lack of page file memory one time when I alt tabbed before it crashed. I'm runnin windows XP, the first version of galactic civlizations (retail, i'm not big on updating things but if this is fixed in a patch I guess I will have to), 512 mb ram, and I guess if there is any other information that you need I can supply it.

When it crashes, the game shuts down instantly, and I get the standard windows popup with an error report and it asks if I want to submit it to microsoft.

Had the same with the latest beta (b4).

Issued smart exception report for this error and send to stardock about an hour ago.

debug.err PLEASE. And you must upgrade to 1.0x IT will fix a lot of problems. DOn't complain if you don't want to update to the latest non-beta patch. Your page file may be too low. You need at least 1.5 gig of it.

I used to have the same problem. I changed my page file to 2gig and now I no longer have that problem. Now the game only crahes for other reasons (after many more hours of play.)

Turning on auto save seems to have fixed the problem so far. I guess it emptys some of the stuff it would have had running for a few hours straight.
