Out of Virtual Memory errors since i16

to directly answer your question, yes the performance envelope changed for Issue 16, and yes, there may be one or two memory leaks.
With some more information about the system in hand, we might be able to identify one or two problems. Many players recommend using HijackThis to find out what programs are all running. I don't, mostly because the program is from TrendMicro. I normally use tools like Spybot Search and Destroy or TaskLisk to check running processes.
If you are confident nothing else has changed in you're computer's software aside from updating to I16, some hardware information would also be useful.
What OS are you using? Apple OSX? Linux with Cedega? Linux with WINE? Windows NT5 (2000pro / XP)? NT6 (Vista / Vista SP2 aka Windows 7)?
What graphics card are you using?
How much memory does your computer have?

I'll pull a Hijack of my specs. The basics are Windows XP Pro, 6 gigs memory, evga 8800gtx, Core Duo 6700. 500gig HD. The only thing that changed on my system was I added a Western Digital MyBook automated-backup external drive (1 terabyte) around the same time. Anyhoo thanks for the reply and I'll post the detailed spec's ASAP.

Funny this post is here. I just got a low virtual memory warning. This was after a couple of hours dual boxing on a trick or treat time. I dual box all the time and this hasn't happened before.
I'm not too worried about it.
We also got the mapserver which affected everyone in zone. First time I've seen it happen on Liberty, a generally low pop server.
Anyway, good luck with your issue, I'm not going to put in any effort debugging mine but if it happens after this halloween event I'll take another look.
Regards,
Fitz

Unless you are using a 64-bit Operating System, you cannot use more than 3-gigs of Memory. The only versions of Windows Xp with the ability to address more than 3gigs of ram were Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, and Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system...AE/PAEmem.mspx
It might sound weird, but try dropping back to 2gigs dual-channel and seeing whether or not the problem continues. Unless you've got a Core I7 with triple-channel, that will actually be the fastest memory configuration a Windows XP system can use.
For more on the memory leak, see here.
In short, you'll need to restart your clients on a regular basis, or, more than likely, you'll eventually crash.

After extended periods of playing CoH crashed along with an Out of Virtual Memory error from Windows. I've never had this happen before. Is there some kind of memory leak in CoH introduced by i16?
