IL2FB page file issue?
|
|
| Don Burnette 2004-10-22, 12:46 am |
| I have noticed, after playing IL2 FB for a couple missions or so, upon
exiting the sim, I am showing a virtual memory min too low message in XP.
I have 1 gb of ddr ram.
I have two paging files, one is set size of 150 mb on my C partition
The other, is min 150 max of 1gb on it's own seperate partition.
I don't understand why I would be getting this message, so far IL2FB is the
only game that I play where Windows XP shows this after playing.
Anyone else experience this? Is there some reason perhaps IL2FB would only
utilize the page file on my C partition, and not the other large one on it's
own seperate partition?

| Er...not so, I think.
I have two hard disks. The first is partitioned as two logical drives: C
(35GB) and E (2GB), the second has one partition D (75GB). The logical
drive E is for my Virtual Memory - set at 1.5GB min and max. There is no
Virtual memory on the C or D drives. So I have one swapfile only of fixed
size on the E drive. Works a treat.

You don't have to have a swap file on C: under XP but MS recommends
you do for memory dumps after a crash. It's not necessary though and I
suggest the OP get's rid of the C: page file and just have the one on
the D: drive and see how IL2 behaves then.

| Oops, type.
My min/max on my C drive originally was 150/150
