I loaded a skirmish and it crashed after about 5 minutes. I re-verified the integrity of the game cache, tried again, and it worked for 30 minutes. I saved, restarted my PC, loaded the game, and it crashed after another 15 minutes. I started the Barbarossa campaign, and it crashed when I alt-tabbed out of the game. I used cheats to get to the fourth mission, and it crashed after about 5 minutes.
If you suspect a crash to desktop due to low memory, you can tell for sure that this is the case by looking at Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System and scrolling down to the time and date of the last crash, your error should look similar to the screenshot attached.
It will also tell you how much virtual memory AOE2:DE was consuming at the time of crash. In my case with UHD enabled, the game was consuming 11.5GB virtual memory. This is on a system with 16GB RAM.
Not all crashes will be due to lack of memory, so looking at event viewer is useful to rule that out at least.
I have 12 GB RAM and no DLC installed and yet my game crashes after 5-20 minutes of gameplay. I get the same error like you show above. Not enough memory?!?
RECOMMENDED:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows 10 64bit
Processor: 2.4 Ghz i5 or greater or AMD equivalent
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia® GTX 650 or AMD HD 5850 or better
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 30 GB available space
I have a better rig than that and still my game crashes due to lack of memory! BULL****
This game SERIOUSLY needs optimization! I mean there are way more memory intense games out there that doesn’t crash my PC. Only this game does!
How much virtual memory was it using at the time of crash?
I share your hope that future patches bring optimisations, but for the time being you will need more virtual memory.
Goes without saying that it would be best if other programs are closed before launching the game. This is not aimed at you so much as to others that may be encountering this issue.
I add up to the huge list of players unable to PLAY this game.
I payed 20€ and wasted countless hours because of your unprofessionalism.
Tried without UHD, same problem.
Tried increasing pagefile, no more crash, but freezes at the same frequency (sound but image stuck).
All drivers updated, w10 up to date, no firewall/antivirus etc.
This is unacceptable, why no dev is answering at all?
