peterj Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Arma 1.05 was crashing randomly because of a memory leak (related to the 8800). Running the exe with the -maxmem=512 flag solved it. So it seems possible that this what's causing the random crashes in Lock On to, is there a maxmem flag?
Pilotasso Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 No but there is a memory cold state that causes LOMAC not to use your RAM fully and start to be swaping to your paging file without the need for it. It is a OS issue and suposedly vsita solves it, but what it gives with one hand it takes with the other, its slower with graphics and there are too many bugs associated with immature drivers. What causes your FPS loss is not the RAM because there will be heavy losses even on 4 GB machines. What causes FPS drop is mainly residual debris on the map wich keeps on building everywhere on the map and causes FPS to drop regardless of the position of the debris in relation to your position in it. .
peterj Posted March 8, 2007 Author Posted March 8, 2007 Thanks for your input on this issue. I'm running Vista and haven't noticed what it does for swapping, but it's probably Vista + 8800gts that causes this. Unfortunately I have worse problems than FPS drops. The game hangs (not responding) on load randomly, in a similar fashion that Arma did. Are there any error logs you can look at?
Pilotasso Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 yes, lockon\temp me thinks, Im not at home to confirm this. The memory cold state and other issues I described are on XP I dont have vista, suposedly some of those issues wont manifest but vista tends to kill gaming through other issues anyway, just like the one you mentioned. Going to leave work now anyway. .

Pilotasso Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 those texture error reports are very comon. I get them all the time. It must be something more subtle than that. .
VMFA-Blaze Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I think that I'll wait a little longer for a Vista upgrade.. I'm beginning to see a lot of issues here... :( I think that by getting XP Pro with the Vista upgrade was a very good decision on my part... So I can wait until the O/S is more stable before installing and its only costing me $ 10.00 USD for shipping and handleing :smilewink: ~S~ Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR
peterj Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 Is there anyone else with this config, Vista + Nvidia 8800?
