Memory allocation error

I couldn’t find another post about this error - but perhaps someone might benefit from the information…

For various reasons, I don’t use a pagefile, so on first running the game encountered a “Memory allocation for * bytes failed” CryENGINE error, and then a crash, no matter what resolution/graphics level.

I’m certain that most users would have the pagefile enabled in Windows, but some don’t. The error occurred on a system with 8GB of RAM, so I expected it to easily handle the requirements of the Alpha, regardless.

Of course, with pagefile enabled, the game runs really well. After a quick web search, it seems to be an issue with the engine itself, rather than any specific bug due to Warhorse coding, but perhaps there is a coding workaround?

But as I said, this is just to inform any other players that might encounter the issue.

As this is also my first post - I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed playing the Alpha, and I’m really looking forward to see how it develops.

Congratulations to everyone at Warhorse!

Maybe @Anna should know about this.

It looks like you don´t have enough memory for launching the game without the pagefile. Game itself in current state takes about 5-6 GB of RAM + your operation system and other apps needs - it can easily exceed the 8GB limit.

We are happy you like the game ! :wink:

Have same problem. But i have 16 GB of RAM. It starting after buying DLC “FROM THE ASHES”

If you happen to have two HDD or an HDD and SSD put the pagefile on the drive KCD isn’t installed on.

Thanks for the answer, but i installed the game at disc D from the start. And a pagefile at disc C from the start. Will search further
