ESO Beta Question [(> 3/14/14 <)]

[Guest ghiliesniper]

Is any one else getting memory crashes at all? Just randomly after like 5 minutes of play I'll get frozen out and errored with windows is trying to save memory and can't keep ESO live. I've googled fixes even tried getting ahold of support, zero answers, same questions though. Luckily my characters load...

You have no idea how hard it was to actually get these screen shots..

Looks like your Windows pretty specifically told you that you don't have enough memory to run the game. How high were you trying to run the settings within TESO, and did you try running the game with them lower? Did you have anything else running at the time? When was the last time you restarted your computer? When was the last time you ran a temporary file and cache cleaner like CCleaner? If you have a SATA drive (and not SSD) when was the last time you defragmented? Is your HDD full? How much RAM do you even have? Which version of Windows OS? Are you trying to play on a full desktop or on a laptop?

 

There are lots of things that could contribute to this, a great many of which are things you need to check on your own end. For instance, if you are attempting to play on Windows XP system, then 2GB of RAM will work but you'll likely need to play with lowered settings. If you're running anything besides Windows XP, you'll need a minimum of 4GB RAM just because the newer OS's use more of it just to run. If you have a 32 bit system, you can't have more than 4GB of RAM total (and you probably won't be able to run great settings). If you have a 64 bit system, you should really never run it with less than 4GB of RAM if you want your games to look decent and still run, and really you should try to get 8GB of RAM in there.

 

If you have 8GB or more of RAM and a 64-bit OS already, then I'm not sure what to suggest. I haven't had any memory issues with the game.
