BarzoLeo Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 can someone explain to me in technical words why SSE crashes when the Hard Drive is almost full , shouldnt it only happen if you dont have enough RAM ? why the HardDrive ? what has it to do with the game executing and me playing ?

Windows creates a page file to utilize in case Ram is used up, Windows needs space on the C:\ drive to make that page file, if there's not enough room, Windows chokes. You really should only have your OS on your C:\ drive, and get another drive for applications, games etc. I have aC:\ for OSD:\ drive for GamesE:\ drive for AppsF:\Drive for MiscI: drive for Samples and Video projects Each drive is at least 1 Tb except for the C:\ which is just 500 Gb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarzoLeo Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 You really should only have your OS on your C:\ drive, and get another drive for applications, games etc.i have 2 HD one for storage of various files , and one other more faster(SSD) for games and applications , but as you put it i might get one more just for the OS Windows creates a page file to utilize in case Ram is used up, Windows needs space on the C:\ drive to make that page file, if there's not enough room, Windows chokes.so Windows creates this "page file" as a countermeasure to not close the application currently running , wich in principle should only rely on RAM memory , am i getting this right ?if this is right , that leads me to ask how much RAM should one have then to play the game without relying on this "countermeasure"? (i have 16GB) is the main cause all the Mods who takes memory to load up ? ( currently around 300 Mods ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely BASIC explanation, but it's kind of like a Temporary Swap file, where things get written then put back etc.... When you're running out of room,. ironically, is when you use the most of the page file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
