Very odd occurrence.. A couple of days ago while playing, my whole computer froze up to the point that I had to manually power down. As I was in the middle of alt-tabbing while checking my build, I figured it was a memory or some other issue, restarted, no problems. No problems last night, either.
Today it happens again after having just started. I made a new character, ran through the tutorial, got into a sewer trial, froze up after the second group. I know it's not overheating because, as I said, I plaid for hours the last couple of nights after the first one. I also know it seems to likely be just City, since no other things have made me freeze.
Has anyone else had this sort of problem lately?
Current specs:
Windows XP SP3
Radeon HD4850, catalyst 10.4 drivers (later ones don't work with the HDMI out to the TV i use as a secondary display sometimes)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core 6400+ processor -
Quote:I have basically the same set-up. Also it's an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ processor, with 4 gigs of ram, on XP service pack 3. The exact rate of increase varies and none of the settings I adjusted seemed to affect it; it honestly seems as if the game is hoarding memory. The rate seems to increase the worst in wide open areas with heavier population of both PC's and NPC's; smaller, indoor areas seem to have less of an effect on it.Originally Posted by venombeyond82
As I've said, I've turned the graphics down to near the lowest you possibly can, and its still happening. I'm running a ATI HD 4870 GDDR5 1gig (As said above) and The current KNOWN working drivers 10.1. Its near MB's a minute, not KB's. And turning up or down the graphics, of any option, did not change how much memory was leaking, it just kept going up no matter what. -
I have been having similar issues. It's not just when working with other programs; when running City of Heroes the memory it uses continually builds up, even when not doing anything. Going into an indoor mission seems to lessen this, and rezoning helps; for a few seconds. Any time I'm outdoors, even if not much is happening, the memory continues to build up. It's like the software has forgotten how to clear out memory it's not using.
