Games Freeze

[Shadow Song]

I have a great computer that can run everything so its not hardware, but whenever I play an rpg game on here from one of the RPG Makers. My game will randomly freeze and I will close out and start it up again and get farther and then it will randomly freeze again. rinse repeat.

This might be placebo effect but I like to use the Large Address Aware program with RPGM games, it seems to cut down on freezing.

LAA allows 32-bit executables to use more than 2GB of RAM

@Duke Ramza did this solve your problem?

I would like to add that that won't fully solve the issue... As far as I know, RPG Maker does not have a garbage collector so every single time you load up a map, a battle, a menu... All those things will pile up until you run out of memory and the game will freeze or crash.

That solution will only extend the time until it crashes or freezes, assuming that you have enough RAM.

it did not however it freezes less often. I have 12 gb of ram so

It makes sense, as a 32bit application it cannot use more than 4gb ram.
A "solution" would be to simply close the application every once in a while to "manually" clean it and avoid freezing.

This is pretty much what I do with poorly optomised games.
