OA Out of memory error

Recommended Posts

What setting do you guys set "Video Memory" to?

Got mine set on high, but since posting last have not had the error, so fingers crossed.

i have the same problem.

when i put the viewdistance to 10000 and fly fast with a jet, then the memory fills fast with the objects on the ground like trees rocks and houses and so on. I guess the game cant clear the memory fast enougth so it is full when the game crashes.

when i set the viewdistance to 2500 then i can fly very long without CTD at all. and even fight enemy planes

I am having the same problems as well, it seems that...

1. Most users having Win7 64 bit, I7, and 6 gb DDR3

2. View Distance is above 7500 M and flying a jet will cause the crash pretty quick.

Out of the sudden we faced crashes of our 1.52 vanilla OA Servers. We noted that members connecting with the actual BETA Patch caused the crashes.

Since everybody is back to 1.52 both servers run fine w/o any problems. :yay:

With the Betas i can get out of Memory, I just up my Page to be 512MB more than my commit. With normal usage on the current PC, i have 1288/8692 for the commit. When i start the game it jumps right upto 8XXX/8692. As the game goes on it creeps up. Also my RAM usage for OA hit 2GB~ + was in the 1.8/1.9GB most of the time. Run more Page and see if that helps.

CTD during multiplayer. I keep getting the OUT OF MEMORY msg after my crash. The game is unplayable for me at this time. Are there any fixes in the near future for this problem?

unplayable here also...

Out of nowhere a once perfectly playable game is renderd useless!

I can play for about 5 minutes before it locks up on me then crashes with the out of memory error.

Win XP/32 bit - BFG GTS 250 - Phenom II dual core - ASUS M4A88TD-M motherboard with 2 gigs of RAM. STEAM version of arma II and OA

ARMA II seems to work fine its only when I run the combined operations that I get this error .....

I seem to be getting something similar to this, and it certainly wasn't happening until after the latest round of updates for Arma2/OA. Wasn't sure if it was patch or mod related (running ACE and a bunch of other mods), but its basically broken the game for me...

Tried running without any mods or add-ons...

Crashed again!

what the heck is going on??

I started playing A2 again to pass the time until this issue is resolved but this is kinda crazy.

I just paid 60 bucks for this game and it would be nice to know why it just decided to stop working for me!

Thought about reinstalling but using the STEAM version will just reupdate me to the new patch....knew I should have bought the disc....

Hi Dwarden....

Tried the beta patch to no avail :(

I have noticed that the crash seem's to occur when I add modules to the mission.

I was playing around on the takistan map, created a small attack mission and everything seemed to play just fine.

Then I decided I'd add a few modules I.E. effects and colors....

When I previewed I got about ten steps into it when it froze then CTD.

Also I noticed the A2OA EXE. doesnt let go after the crash...it hangs in my task manager until I force it closed.

I guess all of this wouldnt be so upsetting to me if I were the one who broke it, but I changed nothing to my system or game...hence the old saying if it aint broke....

But now it is broke....help me fix it!

Please :(

Ok so I uninstalled/reinstalled made a mission with two ACM modules and everythings working perfectly.

Installed CBA and ACE then tried it again....

Like a charm!

So far so good anyway....guess I'll slowly add things and see whats what...

Sorry for any attitude but frustration got the best of me!

I had those problems when my page file was forced at 1024Mb (I thought since I have plenty of RAM why should I have a bigger pagefile.

Ya, not really how it works. Even if you have 24 gB of physical memory, you'd still want a page file. 1.25 times your physical memory is optimal for your page file.

r3v have u tried to uninstall/reinstall?

It worked for me....im guessing something, an add-on maybe was conflicting with the patch...

After I reinstalled and one by one added add-ons it works fine for me now.

One of the add-ons I noticed making me crash was the SLX add-on.

I ran CBA,ACE,ACEX...no crash

then I tried adding GL4...no crash...

Then when I added SLX kaboom!

I crashed....I also noticed problems with certain maps also...

Fallujah crashed me alot when using modules...

IDK, just trying to help!

I thought it has to do with the graphic settings?

Im running a lot of mods like Ace, zeus, gl4 and slx, but before the patch I have never experienced any problem!

After I patched the game up to 1.55 I have never been able to play for more than 10 minutes without a crash.

So I made some tests and I believe that for some reason its the slx mod that is causing the crashes, just a rough guess though.

Anyway this is what I get in the rpt:

Rather than post here that you've got the problem, be proactive and go to your user folder, then AppData, Local, ArmA 2 OA, and then zip up:

ArmA2OA.bidmp

ArmA2OA.mdmp

ArmA2OA.rpt

and send them to dwarden (at) bistudio.com.

It's a lot more effective than simply typing here.
