The reason I never went with 4 GIG was because some folks where telling me that there was no point and that it could even make Windows possible run slower.

I doubt the memory has anything to do with it becaus the game has run fine with the 3Gig for months and months now at max settings.

I don't remember the exact error message (not at home to see it right now) but basically it was saying that the game was asking for more memory than whats available. when I get home I will log onto the game so i can get the exact wording of the error message.

ok here is the exact message:

Says " Critical Error application ran out of memory when requesting 1048592 bytes (limit: 2048MB). Then when you click ok I get another error box that says " Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! Program:c\program files\sony\everyquestII\everquest2.exe.

This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusal way...please contact the applications support team for more info"

Have not tried to re-install the game yet hopeing that one of yall can figure something out or that SOE tec support (what a joke SOE tec lol) because the game is huge and the udpate time takes for ever so want to try everything else before I do that.

I did finally get everything updated and jumped on the game..at 1st things seem to be find but then BAM just like that I went down with the same error. I have been searching on the SOE tec forums and there are lots of other folks posting the same exact problem. From what I have been reading this problem has been around for @ a yr and SOE knows about it but either does not know how to fix it or does not want to fix it.

There was one person who said they found a solution to the problem. He said to use CSF cleaner ( think thats what it was called) per this person what this free program does it allow you to go in and chance some EQ2 .exe file to allow more then 2gig of memory he used the sysmbel <2gig. Thats suppose to take care of the problem from what I understand cause the game is built to only allow your pc to use 2gig or less towards the game.

When I get home I guess I will try my luck with SOE tec support over the phone /sigh

Some folks have said they talked to SOE tec support over the phone and after @ a hour or so they fixed the problem. May I tell you what the things I go through just to play a game.

Maybe I should think about actually buying a game for that PS3 sitting in my living room
