Using Br 2.1, without issues since weeks, today the game doesnt load my saves anymore. I created a new game to see if my saves got corrupt somehow, but it crashes on new game as well, saying i dont have enough memory, stopping windows altogether. I was able to check my memory usage during the game and its avg. 46% so its not the problem. Did anyone have similar problems, and how you solved it?
You on Windows 10?
This is a common issue in Windows 8 and 10... There are 4 possible fixes in this order:
1. Go to start>Type CMD
Right click and run as Administrator
Type: sfc /scannow
(results: no problems, good; found and repaired corrupted files, good; found but unable to fix corrupt files, bad)
2. Start>CMD
Elevated prompt, run as Admin again
type: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth && DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
(if this fixes things, good, if it requires a disk image, insert your disk)
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:WIM:
X:\Sources\Install.wim:1 /LimitAccess
(X=drive letter)
If you need an ISO here is a free link for the Windows 10 support/reinstallation ISO:
You must be registered to see the links
3. Click Start, type regedit in the Search box, and then click regedit.exe
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems
Right-click "Windows," and then click Modify
Under the Value data section of the Edit String dialog box, locate the SharedSection entry, and then increase the second value and the third value for this entry
SharedSection=xxxx,yyyy,zzzz;
For 32-bit operating systems, increase the yyyy value to “12288”;
Increase the zzzz value to “1024”.
For 64-bit operating systems, increase the yyyy value to “20480”;
Increase the zzzz value to “1024”.
4. Increase your page file size (which should be 1.5x your total RAM in MB 1024MB=1GB)
Start>Control Panel>System and Security>System
Advanced System Settings>System Properties (Advanced tab)>Performance>Settings
Performance Options>Advanced tab
Virtual Memory>Change
Virtual Memory>Select Drive with Windows>Custom Size
Set: Initial Size = 0.5x Total RAM; Maximum Size = 1.5x Total RAM
Eg., you have 8GB of RAM, or 8192MB, min = 4096MB max = 12288MB
Save Restart
5. Optional: Get CCleaner, run an Easy Clean scan (and clean) then run a Registry scan and clean (no need to backup as CCleaner will never delete any currently used reg keys, it just rids you of obsolete or redundant entries)
Hope this helps -- if not then there is something corrupt in the game, which wouldn't make sense if you haven't changed anything. It's rare but it happens... Although this is 90% likely a failed windows update cache issue.
I could be wrong -- but the worst case scenario here is that your system will be running a lot better even if I am... LOL!
