Hey everyone,

A number of players are experiencing client crashes resulting from Memory Allocation Errors when running the new Community Warfare game mode.

Until we can roll out some fixes to resolve or reduce these occurrences, the steps outlined below should be able to limit them from occurring.

If you are running MWO under DirectX 9:

Lower your Texture settings to Medium or lower (through Settings > Video > Advanced Options)

OR

Run MWO under DirectX 11. This will allow your system to utilize your GPU memory along with your system RAM and potentially allow you to keep your Texture quality setting at higher levels without experiencing the error.

If you are running under DX11 and are still receiving these errors, lower your Texture settings to medium or lower.

Please note that the success of these workarounds is entirely contingent upon your system having at least 4GB of physical RAM in your system. This is the minimum amount of RAM recommended for running MWO.

It says on the front page of the MWO website why you can't. Under where it says "Community Warfare" but above the "Available now" section. One word, starts with a B.

Patience is also a virtue.

Just got killed because I had 2x memory allocation error in the same game. Tonight, I got it every second game. Didn't play CW.

The amount of bugs and crashes in this game is just too damned high!

[Modo44]

2 GB of VRAM + 8 GB of RAM, crashes with the MWO client at around 2 GB of memory usage. This is not a low spec issue, this is a memory management issue.

Is there any way to provide 64-bit client to us? Cuz my 16GB ram looks like a waste with 32-bit 2GB address space limit. And... Are you, guys, so stupid, that you used 100500xOver9000 size dynamic texture to render CW map? Learn to use 3D primitives to render 2D objects. And learn to manage resources dynamically, i.e. to load them into memory only when they are really needed - I just getting sick of getting crashes, despite the fact, that I'm neither currently playing CW, nor even switching to Faction tab.

I just don't want to switch to DX11, cuz it only causes performance loss and glitches without any improvements of graphics quality. The funny thing is, that I have both Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 (both using same CryEngine 3) installed on my computer and both work just fine on DX11 - without any lags, performance losses and fps drops, etc. Learn to optimize!

Thx God, I'm getting crashes only while loading - not ingame.

Why should I run DX11 or should switch to med when everything is fine when I'm on the testing ground?

[Mainhunter]

I found out, that since I stopped ALT-Tabbing before the match started, it works well without CTD's.

Ugh no alt tabbing with the long waits? Horse stance and planking I guess...

[etrius]

Switching to DX11 fixed all the CW crashes for me.

We've got some news coming tomorrow that will provide an even better boost, for some players....

At least you can run the game at all.

Try changing your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 (Google) or some other publicly available DNS.

While this error generally doesnt cause me a lot of grief because it happens at map loading and I can reboot/reload/rejoin in under 1m(because my PC is a BEAST), this is the cause of memory crash errors for me as well, ever since the CW patch its been happening. Happens in regular matches as well if im alt tabbed. As previous poster mentioned, no alt tabbing=no errors(doesnt matter if im qued for CW or regular matches)
