AustinMxr1 10 Posted May 10, 2014 I own ArmA II, ArmA II: OA, and DayZ Standalone. All of these games, and these games only, crash constantly. They are literally unplayable. I open the game up, and as soon as I start loading it, it freezes and crashes and gives me an error saying "Insufficient quota to complete the requested service." It's extremely annoying because I payed good money for these games and I can't play them. This happens only while playing these games and I can't find a solution anywhere. I'm not able to play more than a couple minutes if I'm lucky. PLEASE FIX THIS OR HELP! Specs: GPU: MSI Radeon R9 270X 2GB CPU: AMD FX-6300 6-Core RAM: Vengeance Black DDR3 8GB HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 7200RPM OS: Windows 7 64-Bit This is a fairly new computer.

orcinus 121 Posted May 10, 2014 Insufficient data. It isn't likely to be a game problem, much more probable it has something to do with your system. Have you checked the Windows error logs? - if the error code is 1453 the cause is insufficient resources; if it's 1455 your pagefile is too small; etc. There's a convenient list of Windows system error codes here. Or you could have disk quotas set for the account you are using which are too small. Unless you have a multi-user system on a network, quotas are best turned off IMHO. Post the error log enty/entries here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orcinus 121 Posted May 11, 2014 "Think"? What does the error log say? (probably under "Applications", might be under "System" instead/as well). Please post it. If you are running with the default Win 7 install, you may have a lot of irrelevant services running. The multimedia services in particular are notorious resource hogs. There's a list of Window 7 services on Black Viper's site, & information about which may be safely turned off. Go for the least services you can ("bare bones") when gaming, ArmA games are CPU-hungry as well as CPU-heavy. The less MS & other junk running, the better. Also, try running Gamebooster from IOBit (freeware). This will switch off unecessary services and processes while you are gaming & turn them back on afterwards. It's customisable, so set it up in conjunction with the recommendations from Black Viper. You can use it to switch off all the updaters, calling-home software, etc., which every 3rd-rate programmer & his dog seems to want to clog your PC with these days. (I don't run any auto-update s/w - I check manually once a week for OS & core programs, just monthly for the rest unless I see a security alert). Some AV programs are also very resource hungry. If you're playing SP offline, you don't need AV, HIPS or sandboxes running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
