Help with ARMA

[jesussmurf]

What i am trying to do is keep this game from crashing.
the help section says to limit the maxmem.

tell me the correct way to type this... "-maxmem= "

i Right click on ARMA on desktop-->properties-->

then i type exactly this this:
"C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA\arma.exe"-maxmem=512

it gives me this error :
The name ""C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA\arma.exe"-maxmem= " in the target box is not valid.Make sure the path and file name are correct.





WHAT AM I DOING WRONG ?

why do you want to cap the memory? just let it bet, windows will take care of the RAM allocation.

because i am trying to keep a game called ArmA from Crashing and this is what the help section told me to do

do you meet the minimum specs? and what does it say when it crashes? have you tried reinstalling it yet?

I have a Core 2 6550 and 2 GIG Ram
It says:
Cannot Create System Memory Surface DXT5,2048X20(size 4193404 B) Error Code 8007000E

what is the correct way to type maxmem in the shortcut ?

 

[Rudster8161]

you have to do 2048 maxmem, not 512, its how much memory you have (2GB which is 2048mb). other than that your doing it right.

try this

"C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA\arma.exe" -maxmem=512

 

[jesussmurf]

try this

"C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA\arma.exe" -maxmem=512

i forgot to put a space before -maxmem=

And this fixed the crash problem
