Americans Army Help!!!

joegi · 03-11-2005, 07:47 AM

Hello all i recently downloaded a new game called Americans Army and when i play this game a little error message near the clock pops up and says "Virtual Low Memory" I was wondering if i needed more ram or a new graphics card.
I currently am using Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X and i have Pentium 4 CPU 2.66HZ, 2.67Ghz, 256MB of Ram. Or is there some way to get more memory or anway to fix this problem, or any programs i dont need running while i play. I play Counter Strike with no problem and i have a steady 60 FPS. With this game my Ping is fine, my fps is actaully between 40-70 it jumps around but when i see the enemy in the game it lags like hell. Any suggestions?

Please post back. Thank You

does this happen every time you play the game or just after your system has been running for a long time?

I know i sometimes has this problem and when i reboot it works fine.

I know th evirtual memory has something to do with the amount of hard drive space you have and how windos utilizes it.

Here is a good link that talks all about virtual memory.

there is a setting that you can have more virtual memory. If you don't know where this setting is just hit F1 and do a search on virtual memory and it will walk you through the steps to do this. If I knew O/S you were on I could tell you how to do this.

It happens everytime i play this game. I just downloaded it yesterday i was thinking of getting a Nvidia Geforce 4 5200 off of my friend and maybe that will work or i could "take" a ram chip out of some PC at my work. I will look at that website and do more research on Low virtual memory but Thanks for the help everyone if you have any more suggestions let me know.

I play this game a lot. You really need more than 256k ram. I play with 1 gb ram and I wish I had more.

I can run the game just fine with 520 to 768megs of ram without every having an issue. Last I remember AA had a setting for this kind of thing um you might wanna look on the AA website they use to have some info an small fixs for it on the site last I looked.
