Sacred 2 freezes when memory use is more than 1.5G ram

[mosie 0]

I play with sacred 2 ice and blood with fullpatch (elit pack) and mod.

 

and the graphique option full in game and the filtering fix max in catalist.

 

and about 5 a 10 min (when I wallk in a gig texture environement) the game freez ( not the system, juste sacred aplication)

 

Its beacause the aplication is limited at 1.3 1.5G of ram (I have 16G ram in my config).

 

 

 

 

I have test lots solution for fix IT:

 

in option.txt I have make:

 

manager = {

animMem = 0,

grannyMem = 0,

pmsMem = 0,

secMem = 0,

sptMem = 0,

texMem = 0,

 

0 for unlimited ram use, but no good result

 

Whene I use more litle filtering, no probleme because the texture is more big ...

 

 

If you have a solution for UP the ram aplication limit ....

 

And its not my computer OR win 7 64 problem.

[dreeft 9]

Mine does this as well, roughly 1.3Gb. I'm running Win 7 64bit also.

 

Definitely interested in a solution.

You could maybe try this tool here: 4GB Patch. It might help you out.

That's NOTHING !

I had 4 gigs of ram and it would use about 52% of it then I had the bright idea (because they were on sale) to get 2 more gigs so now it ONLY uses about 50% of the total RAM

I also have a GeForce card that has 1 gig of video ram on it and still when I get back to windows eveything runs slower then my first PC which was a 486D and I think it had maybe 16Megs of ram?

 

I've come to one conclusion when it comes to this game and that is :

 

It's really not meant to be played it's not a game after all. It's just a virtual environment in which your just susposed to walk around in and marvel at how pretty things look like the flowers, the butterflies , the buildings...etc.

To have it function as a game should, you know with out all them pesky bugs and freeze-ups which they call "Features" is just asking too much and is sacrilegious in their eyes.

elite textures is just not playable imo. I don't think it has ever.....

 

you should be able to run at standard texture with no physx and high setting without crashing your system.

I don t whant play with litle graphique option and my 2x5970 in CF and a 9800gtx for physix 2 qx9775 16G ram ....

 

 

I want play with full option.

 

Yes with litle graphique option the game not bug but its not interesting, not beautiful ...

 

I prefer find a solution for up the aplication ram limit.

I think the issue with the elite textures is the rate at which they need to be streamed from your hard drive, so after a while, or whenever you enter a city the extra load on your game drops you like youve been hit with a 9iron.

I'm with you. I have a similar system with monster CPU, graphics, memory. I wish there was a way.

 

What about just increasing the men settings instead of using zero?

[mosie 0]

I have test the

 

manager = {

animMem = 133554432,

grannyMem = 167108864,

pmsMem = 18388608,

secMem = 133554432,

sptMem = 18388608,

texMem = 1209715200,

 

but no result.

 

 

In 2 week I have the evga SR2 with 2 x5980 24G ;;;;

Good Golly Dude! That is a monster PC. I would love to see lots more pics and specs on this thing.

 

Sadly I am with you. I don't have that much PC but more than enough and I wish I could use PhysX and Elite textures.

 

Seriously please show off that System in our Tech forum. and post pics.

Is there anyway we can find out what kinda systems Ascaron used when they were making the game? I know we have a few guys around here with access to some of the Ascaron Devs. Is there anyway the pros could throw us a bone?

[FrostElfGuard 9]

Ascaron had partnered up with Dell during development, and NVIDIA.

 

I bought my current system in advance of the release of the game... specifically so that when the game came out I could load it and make the game sing (play really well). Though I exceeded the requirements (and at least one Ascaron employee thought my system was amazing) , the game didn't sing.

 

Dell, NVIDIA, those are my meager bones for you.

There are 2 problems:

1st: As a 32bit program Sacred 2 is limited to a 2GB memory address space. Just enabling "large address awareness" (which is what the tool does) is not enough.

2nd: the memory manager of Sacred 2 is just FECAL MATTER!ty

 

You can do nothing about it.

Well that's the reality of it I guess.

 

What would happen if we reduced the memorry manager settings to something below 1.5 TB?

 

 

edit: lol I meant 1.5 Gb

[czevak 57]

Has anyone tried the CTRL+F1 memoryrefresh? Does it help?

 

(If it does, you can use marcuswobs Sacred 2 loader, and configure it to send CTRL+F1 in regular intervals to the game.)

I have and it does reset the memory. Completely! so you have to wait while everything reloads. not something I would want to happen while in a fight.

Guess you are right. But it may help to do it once in a while when its quiet on the screen, or in towns.

HHMMMMM good idea I have imagine this.

 

If you can creat a program for automatic CTRL F1 ...

Holy Cow!

 

That is some back yard engineering right there! I can imagine a Case even close to being able to contain all that.

 

24 cores?

[Furian67 14]

ummm dude? Wheres the throttle? I didn't see a smoke stack so I guess it runs green? holymoly Who needs a case when you can use the table!

[Ryanrocker 200]

That...is...RIDICULOUS!

[Dragon Brother 619]

Thats just insane! It looks like it should just get off the table and start killing people...but leave a note saying "I'll be back"

[mosie 0]

12 core with HT = 24 tread

 

a table is more practice

 

 

now I go killing evga STAFF and Shamino ....
