HELP! "Freespace has detected that you have -2mb of memory..."
on: January 14, 2009, 11:39:14 pm
So I get this message when I try and run Freespace 2 on Vista 64 Ultimate.

"Freespace has determined that you have -2mb of memory and required 32MB of memory to run. If you think you have more than 32MB check if you are running smartdrive.exe (which im not, wtf is smart drive)."

I have 4 Gb of ram...

Is it because I am running vista? Is there a quick fix for this?

I installed the freespace 2 OSP and it does the same thing, obviously.

My dxdiag is here

Get a 3.6.10 build of FS2_Open.  http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/board,173.0.html

Retail and earlier versions of FS2 had a 2 gig limit.  Once you exceeded that it started counting backward so 4gig = 0.

Once you have a 3.6.10 build and the Launcher, you can try out the 3.6.10 MediaVPs for tremendous graphical boost.

Release the movie already.  Nobody wants to read an epic.
