Eliepse: Hi everyone !

I recently worked a lot on find a solution about Frostpunk crashes. I had a lot, no matter I updated newest drivers, changed configuration, installed all packages and updates, etc.

But, I finally found a solution !

I have a computer with SSD and HDD inside, I usally dispatch my files on them to optimize my work. It's known that you have to disable Windows' Vitual Memory management when using SSD.
I tried to reactivate it, then the game worked perfectly.

My advice is that people having this issue check that setting.
Go on the appropriate panel and do not disable the virtual memory to play Frostpunk. It's a game that seem to require it a lot.
I can't tell witch setting to set, I'm not enough qualify at this.

Hope it can help some people !

Bye.

Lexor: No, it's wrong. You should never disable Windows' Vitual Memory.

First, if you use "modern PC" with "a lot of RAM" you should decrease size of pagefile and set min/max to the same value (2048 MB is ok).

Second, if you have both SSD and HDD you can move this pagefile to HDD.

kohlrak: I strongly advise either closing the browser, or demanding the company start checking return values for malloc and then crashing controlled identifying that it ran out of RAM.

I do have to ask, though: why would you have to disable virtual memory swapping for SSDs? I know it's healthy for the SSDs, but why would it be absolutely necessary?
