peeps 0 Posted September 28, 2002 Is there anyway to solve the problem that doesn't involve deleting much loved addons. I have tried the swap file but that doesn't sort it. I've also tried lowering the RAM memory in the OPF preferences. please say theres somehting else i can do, i love my addons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kegetys 2 Posted September 28, 2002 Buy more ram, or if you are using a Win95 based OS (win95, 98, ME) get an NT based one (w2k, xp) which have much better memory management. Edit: and, of course, adjusting the memory settings from the preferences might help too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm running on Windows XP Professional with 512MB of RAM, and I've never seen the message. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginbo 0 Posted October 16, 2002 I can't start resistance because of it! Any word? I have a p42.53 with 512 rdram and a huge hard drive, and a Raedon Pro9700. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginbo 0 Posted October 16, 2002 And, of course, no addons to bog down my memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buggs 0 Posted October 16, 2002 I get this message if i  exceed 600 meg in my main ofp addons folder and about 300 megs for my resistance addons folder. i have 512 meg of ram & a 1 gig swap file run by a amd 800 athlon via win 98 o/s, i think the only thing you can do is delete some addons, sorry.

Ginbo 0 Posted October 16, 2002 I have no unofficial addons, which official ones can I erase? I have just done a clean install of OPF:CWC and of Resistance, so I don't know what I can erase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted October 16, 2002 I think I remember reading of someone with a Radeon fixing the memory map problem by changing the AGP aperture size... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginbo 0 Posted October 16, 2002 I tried that one to. My BIOS will only let me set it at 64, 128 and 256, and that other person fixed it by setting it to 32. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted October 16, 2002 Does the same problem exist if you select Direct3D without T&L? Have you checked with the guys at Rage3D to see if there is a more recent driver, even if it is beta? Even if there isn't, the guys there are probably the best resource for fixing this problem.

Ginbo 0 Posted October 16, 2002 Nope, they don't have anything on this problem. I did get the new beta drivers, but it did not fix the problem. This is so sad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ixian 0 Posted October 17, 2002 I was bored yesterday because it was impossible to play servers with all the lag/desync in 1.85 so i decided to play the Campaign again.  Well as soon as I clicked on it  i got booted to desktop and a error came up on a box saying something like   "Cannot Memory-campaigns/1985.pbo"  Is this because I have a sh*t load of addons in my addon folder? Yep it was the addons lol. I just went ahead and deleted 85 mb of crap from Vietnam Addon that I never play. Now I can play campaign again woot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginbo 0 Posted October 17, 2002 It does sound like you have too many addons, if it ever worked at all and now doesn't. My problem boggles my mind, however, and makes me want to cry. I won't, yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginbo 0 Posted October 17, 2002 Somebody posted somewhere saying that the problem is Windows XP updates, and that every time he gets the Microsoft Security Updates, his Resistance stops working. Anyone know anything about this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TYsiEK 0 Posted October 17, 2002 Do You have some very big unofficial add-ons or very big .PBO files what resistance can't memory ?. Maybe you have some bad change, some like a big resolution ? If yes, you will change back this settings and delete big add-ons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginbo 0 Posted October 17, 2002 No, I don't have any addons at all, just the Resistance Expansion. This is a totally clean install. And, I have tried in almost all possible resolutions, except 640x480. I first tried the game with all the highest resolutions, since the computer is so fast. That didn't work, so I lowered it, including all the cockpits and all the textures, and nothing has worked. I can play the original, albiet with the funny flashing textures.

Ginbo 0 Posted October 17, 2002 The folks at Codemasters are thinking this is a problem unique to me. Interesting, I think! Anyone else playing with a 9700 Pro? Or with a p4 2.53? Or with 512 megs o' ram? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The windows xp automatic update i believe is the cause. The reason being is when i do a clean install of my operating system software (i.e. windows XP) resistance runs great with no problems. Then microsoft sends the two most recent updates to me, and guess what memory-map fileresADDONSo.pbo error starts happening.<span id='postcolor'> Edit: His thread is here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
