theavonlady 2 Posted February 11, 2002 How much RAM do you have? How many other programs are you running simultaneously when playing OFP? Have you tried manually setting you Windows virtual swap file size to 1000 and rebooting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I Alt-Tab alot and sometimes forget that I allready have OFP up). Then I just click 'ok' and the second session closes and I Alt-Tab back into the first session. What I'm trying to say is that it seems your computer does'nt shut down OFP completely. -Faulty/defective RAM-modules maybe? -Faulty OS? You running any 3rd-party disk managers or mem-managers?

Edgecrusher 0 Posted February 20, 2002 I get this same problem, too. Although, restarting my computer does not help. My OS is Windows Millenium Edition, I have 1.2 Ghz processor, 25 Gb free disk space, 512 Mb of DDRAM, and My copy of OFP is genuine with all current patches and Red Hammer installed. I am totally perplexed. There is nothing running in the background. How do you set your Windows virtual swap file size? Thanks in advance, Scott W.

I'm using Win98ME also and have my swap set to 250MB Min and 512MB Max and it never climbs above 250MB, probally because it is barely used (I have 896MB's RAM). OT: Just a general Win98ME tip. Whilst in the performance tab click "Flie System" and move the system restore slider waaaay to the left. Whatever muppet installed windoze onto this machine had it to the right and my restore folder had been gently growing untill it reached nearly 6GB's Untill I hexed my registry and managed to uninstall Windoze restore.

Edgecrusher 0 Posted February 20, 2002 Thanks ArmourDave. (from the Commonwealth? - u in armour) Win ME sucks, but the alternative (XP) isn't near as appealing. Thanks, I'll see if it helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edgecrusher 0 Posted February 20, 2002 No help. I still get Cannot memory-map file 'campains/1985.pbo' Either 1985.pbo or redhammer.pbo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigRed 2 Posted February 20, 2002 I am getting the same problem is it the game or GameSpy someone has to have an answer or is it the crappy patch 1.42 it has more bugs than Joe Apartment. Somebody help it is killing the best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ExtracTioN 0 Posted February 20, 2002 I got this same problem this is a bug in patch 1.42 in patch 1.40 it never happened to me after I had upgraded to 1.42 this problem has come it would be nice if they make a new patch that fix this problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UKPUSHER 0 Posted February 20, 2002 This works for me ..............when i close ofp i press ctrl/alt/del and theres this program called DPSNV i have to end this task to be able to get ofp tp launch without reebooting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChopperSpirit 0 Posted February 22, 2002 I get the same message. From what i can tell, the error appears ALWAYS when i launch OFP via GameSpy, and only sometimes when i launch it directely from my Desktop. It appeared first in the early February. I was able do fix it by deleting my latest downloaded Addons. But now it appeared again. I dunno which Addon it was the first time but it worked after removing the 3 Hummers from Lordremock. For the error returned now i get the feeling that i have to much Addons installed. However i have no solution for this. By the way: UKPUSHER: i don't have that DPSNV in Ctrl Alt Del And BigRed: You are waaaaay right. Greetings Chop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandoras Box 1 Posted February 22, 2002 I have the same problem (My addon map is 670 mb big) sometimes I also get "cannot memory map " "" between the "" is the map it can't load for some reason. The maps that ofp gives the errors with are rather big 1 > mb. it happened with the original 02 infantry mission and also with the c01 convoy mission. And sometimes when I play campain it says cannot load world "" I noticed this bugs from ofp version 1.40. Why does everybody has this bug with ofp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChopperSpirit 0 Posted February 23, 2002 Oh i forgot, I tried the following (as you all did too i guess) I seinstalled Red Hammer, OFP and deleted everthing related to the game, then i installed again and updated to V1.40. Didn't help had still the same. The Only thing that worked was deleting the latest addons. Could it be that I have to much of them? I mean the first time i deleted around 7 Addons or so. Thince then I downloaded around 6 - 8 new addons but didn't play online. As in singleplayer the error comes only sometimes i didn't notice that GameSpy doesn't launch OFP anymore. I'm running a P III 900MHz, 512 MB Ram <---should be no problem. best regards, Chop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChopperSpirit 0 Posted February 24, 2002 Hey ppl, i think i got the solution I just took the time to move addons which i don't need anymore to a backup folder. My Addons folder in game now has 197 files and is 355MB. And voilá... it works. It seems that the game creates an "internal" memory that has a specific size or something. Dunno, I'm no crack in this. But keeping the Addons folder small works for me. Yeeeehaa. regards Chop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandoras Box 1 Posted February 24, 2002 Yes I thought the same thing about the size of your addon folder my folder is arround 670mb and thath are all great addons. But isn't it strange that the size of your addon folder causes a memory problem with ofp. Ps this is my system: Amd thunderbirth 1333Mhz 266FSB Asus a7v133 motherboard 512 Mb of memory 133Mhz Asus V7700 G2pro 64Mb vin/vidout 3com 3c905 network card Creative PCI 128 sound card Hewlett Packard 8200+ series burner LG DRD-8080B DVD drive So I don't understand why ofp is causing problems. BTW I reinstalled ofp and updated to 1.42 and the error was starting showing again on a regular basis. I moved quit many addon to a buckup folder outside ofp and the bugs disapeard, so it has something to do with that ofp loads all the addons in the computers memory. I also sized my swap file to 500min and 1000max , maybe that solved the problem also But I don't know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigRed 2 Posted February 24, 2002 Well guys I will tell you how I got rid of the problem I spent a hole day trying to figure it out. First I reistalled Gamespy that didn't work. Second I started take my addons out a few at at time that really sucked because I have 475mb of addons but that didn't work. Finally I use some common sense and took my 1985.pbo out of the campaign file and now my game works like it is brand new. Of course this wasn't a big thang for me I already beat the campaign. It works trust me BigRed If you smell what BigRed is cookin!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChopperSpirit 0 Posted February 24, 2002 Hmm... when the game loads all the data when launching mabby all those addons take too much memory so there's no space for the campaign. so either some addons must go or the campaign, or something else. But i thought when campaign is deleted, it would say something like cannot load 1985.pbo. But I'll try. As you said that you have over 600MB addons, how many campaigns do you have installed? I have just 1985 and red hammer. mabby when i delete the 1985 campaign i can put the addons back in? I'll give it a try. cya Chop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
