bought me dad a gaming pc that should quite easily handle americas army......

yet he throws him off because he runs out of virtual memory......

even tho he has 26 gig hd space and he could not find the `aa ini` file to delete.....

any ideas ????

he has intalldled it 3 times now

:suspect:

Can you not just go into the Control Panel, System properties and amend the amount 'Virtual Memory' ? There is usually a Minimum and Maximum amount you can have it set too..

Failing that Cue Martin_S................. :P

where can you download americas army from?

http://www.americasarmy.com

Try the help section on the site, failing that the IRC channel is very helpfull.

LOL... thanks for that... :)

Ok... all that aside it'd be useful to know what specification the computer has... ie: Processor (Brand, speed), RAM, Hard drive full size, etc...

At a guess though, if the system is looking for more virtual memory your system may not have a lot of physical RAM in it which is likely to put the brakes on for the game and slow things down considerably... which is never good..

That specification will tell the tale though.

HI Venger.


Its not a problem with your machine.

The problem lies with the game itself. Its a well know issue, that appeared in version 2.1 The AA community has been going mental about it for a few months!!

Version 2.2 has just been released, and seems to have cured it to a large extent, although the problem still exists.

Check out http://www.americasarmy.com/ and have a good look at the forums on there. There's one bsquillion threads about it! :)

For a free game, it's VERY good. I advise anyone with a passing interest in first person shooters and a broadband connection to check it out. Its a 650 odd meg download, so if you're on dial up, try and borrow someone elses CD!

I've been playing since version 1.9, and play EVERY night! Theres nothing quite like shooting someone you know is French :hihi:

I've played since the very early versions, I was ranked in the top few thousand for quite a long time untill my machine died :(

Soon as I'm back up and running you can expect to see me on the Battlefield :D
