wineq error 33mb/509mb

Post by Nazs » Wed Aug 18, 2004 11:20 am

Hi all. I am getting this message when i start up WinEQ.

WinEQ has detected that your system currently has 33 mb/509 mb available physical RAM. This is short for requirements of the game, and may produce excessive lag or even a blue screen/reboot.

I have a Geforce 2 mx 100/200 with approx total memory 31.5 mb.
I also am posting my WinEQ.log incase it is needed to help with this issue. Thanks for any help.

What exactly is your question?

Your GF2 has 32MB of RAM, and your system has 512MB of RAM. Only 64MB of system RAM was available when you started EQ. As the message states, this is far short of the requirements of the game. WinEQ isn't preventing you from playing, you can go ahead and play... however, it may produce excessive lag or a blue screen/reboot.

If your question is how to prevent the message from appearing, the answer is to have at least 200MB of system memory free when starting EQ. EQ takes 300MB of system memory even with very low settings.

Are you trying to play 2 sessions or is this just 1? You might have to close a lot of programs...

My question is why is there only 33mb out of 510mb available ? And how can i fix that ? And when i usually only play one session not 2.

Thanks

Well...
a) What version of Windows are you running?
b) What programs do you have running at the same time?

Making sure all unnecessary programs are closed before starting everquest, also you may want to get a memory program such as cacheman that has a free version available, that will reclaim memory and return it to windows, sometimes especially with win 98SE and winME programs that you have opened and closed use memory that windows doesn't always realize has been released. i.e. you open and run MS outlook, you close the program the memory is released but windows sometimes will not realize the memory is returned, this could cause such error handling as what is built into wineq to read there is only so much memory available when actually there may or may not be more, if i'm not mistaken the memory error handler works off a report from either windows or directx?

The system memory check uses the Windows API function GlobalMemoryStatus, and the video memory uses the DirectX GetAvailableTextureMem function
