Black_Angel 0 Posted July 7, 2002 This started about 2 weeks ago. Ill get into a mp game, then within like 2 minutes, ill get booted to desktop with an error that says "Cannot allocate 83 mb of virtual memory. You probably have your hard disk full. If you control your swap file size manually, consider setting it bigger." Anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong, and if so, possibly a solution? Thx. -BA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted July 7, 2002 Err the error message gives you the probable solution Increase the size of your swap file, and/or free up some space on your hard drive if applicable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black_Angel 0 Posted July 7, 2002 How do I increase the size of my swap file??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted July 7, 2002 Well for XP click these in order.... control panel / system / advanced / settings (for the top, performance one) / advanced / change That's where you change your swapfile settings, if you use me or 98 then I don't remember exactly where you go, it's similar up until system, then it's different after that, it sounds more than likely that your hard drive has gotten full up, how much space do you have? try to clear at least 1gb of space if not more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted July 7, 2002 Ahh it shows here how to do it for the old windows versions http://www.techspot.com/tweaks/memory/memory-5.shtml Basically for Resistance you want as much hard drive space free as possible and to let windows manage the swapfile itself, that's not the most tweaked thing to do but it seems right now Resistance is extremely ram hungry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
