Vertexbuffer & memory broblem

[bucket man 2]

Yesterday my OFP worked fine but today when I start OFP it freezes and after maybe 3 minutes comes this error message:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">CreateVertexBuffer (static, separate) failed 8876017c - out of memory?

Wierd thing is I never changed anything in my system, no new software of hardware. I use -nomap command and my OFP is updated to 1.96. I only installed CWMOD 1.1 but that cant be the broblem as OFP work even work without any addons.

Then I checked the task manager before OFP crashed. It was eating *ALL* of my memory. I have 512mb DDRAM.

Any idea why this is happening and how can I fix it?

You have propably tried some high settings (viewdistance/terrain detail) and maybe crashed the last time you managed to get the game running. This can cause the game from not starting again.

Solution:

Open UserInfo.cfg located in your user dir in notepad and edit a few lines to this.

viewDistance=500.000061;

terrainGrid=25.000000

Not sure this is your problem but it's very likely..

Had you quickly searched, you would have found several threads, including this one.

I did look around a bit but didnt do anything big to find out if someone had this before, sorry.

Now that I think of it I did use 5000 view distance for combat photography but I closed OFP normally and had no broblems. I even might have reduced it back to something like 2000? I will go and check.

Thanks you two!

It was because of my 5000km view distance. Now it works great!
