T_1 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I've recently added an extra 1/2 Gig ram, and it's been running really nice. Everything full, the mutts nutts. Tonight as I went to start it it gave me the message CreateVertexBuffer (static, seperate) failed 8876017c - out of memory? The error message is as exactly as I got it. Any ideas?

Biro Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Maybe something is wrong with the last memory stick you put in? Try to run memtest86, ---> http://www.memtest86.com/ This will tell you if something is wrong with the chip. I haven't run it myself, but some of my friends that have had some problems have used it and found errors in the chip so I think it's a useful tool.

T_1 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 I'm going to try re-installing VBS first, everything else runs fine, and VBS was running with the extra stick in, just tonight it decided to play funny buggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biro Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 (edited) Yea, that is probably a good idea. What you also could try to do is to pick out the stick again and see if that helps if you still have the problem after you have re-installed. It's really weird if such a problem just comes straight out of the air, but computers is like womens you have to spend some time with them to get some fun Edited January 21, 2005 by Biro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_1 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 Reinstallation didn't do the trick, so the case gets opened again *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pave Low Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 This error was very common in OFP and was due to running out of video memory. Do you have terrain set to very high ? If you changed the terrain detail to Very High and can't start OFP anymore, go to the folder where your UserInfo.cfg file is stored (i.e. Flashpoint\Users\YourCoolPlayerName) and open UserInfo.cfg using Notepad. Find the TerrainGrid line and delete it, or change it to terrainGrid=50.000000; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabellum Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Pave just say the word and I'll have your babies ← ROFL - Terrain detail is, IMHO, the single greatest drain on memory in OFP/VBS1. I usually play with terrain detail on low or very low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
