Title: Out of Memory?! Impossible!!!
Post by: redsniper on December 17, 2003, 05:09:36 pm: I've been playing Inferno with FSO and its worked fine, but I want to play the last mission in vanilla FS2 so I can see Earth (since FSO has that distance thing with HT&L and its too slow without htl) but when I click continue from the main screen, FS2 minimizes and I get an error message saying I'm out of memory. I have 256 MB RAM a P III 866 Mhz and a Ti4600, Windows XP. When I open the Task Manager and look at Performance it says it's only using a little bit of the page file. So what's wrong? If I can run FSO why can't I run vanilla FS?

Post by: redsniper on December 17, 2003, 10:07:32 pm: I guess I'll try a different pilot then. I don't see how that could have any effect though.

Post by: redsniper on December 17, 2003, 10:13:57 pm: It does work with a different pilot, but I'd have to play through Inferno again. I guess I'll just play with HT&L and not see the earth.

Post by: Jonathan_S47 on December 27, 2003, 10:15:04 am: I get memory problems when I try to run Freespace 2 on my laptop. Even the vanilla version gets this problem. My laptop is a Gateway Solo 1450. 1.2 GHz processor, 128 MB Ram, Windows XP Pro. As far as I can tell the memory problems seem to have something to do with XP.

Post by: TopAce on December 28, 2003, 05:19:24 am: I had this problem a while ago(a month?) and the only way I could fix it is to make a new pilot. FSO probably manipulated my pilot so FRED_retail couldn't read it.

I think everyone would better use two different pilots for FS_retail and FS_open.

Post by: magatsu1 on December 29, 2003, 07:44:30 am: About 3/4 months ago I bought FS2 on ebay 'cos my disks were damaged and I hadn't seen the cutscenes for ages.

Due to all my vanilla/open pilot file jiggery pokery I still haven't seen 'em. Must have started and re-started the main campaign about 6 times now.
