Error: Memory allocating - why ?

[MercuryBluefalc]

Hi Guys,

Well i got this Bug now many times in the middel game - 1450 AD - on World Map. I try also a 2 GB RAm and a 4 GB Ram System, but i dont realy know whats the problem. I also tryed the patch.

Is it the Revolution Part? Or too many other Civs? (I try the expansion pack) I think one of this 2 could it be...

Any Idears to avoid the Memory Problem? (No - i dont wanna try this 3 GB Switch thing to make my comp instable)

I can give you some suggestions based upon my experiences.

1. I know you may be reluctant to modify your computer with the /3GB switch. However, this is your best bet to avoid MAFs.

2. You need to take steps to reduce the amount of memory you are using. This would include smaller maps, not using the megapack, reducing the quality of the graphics, etc. Each of these steps will push the occurrence of MAFs until later in the game.

3. Go with a 64-bit version of your operating system. Upgrade from Win XP to Win XP 64 bit or the same in Vista. This should also help reduce MAFs.

Hope this helps.

I have downloaded the mega pack. How do I not use it? I have a relativly new laptop with 2gb ram and some of the scenarios dont even load. I tried to play the mediterrainian scenario that was a favourite of mine with the previous version and I get maf's in medival era.
Any other tips?

I love this game, especially this mod and dream of one day getting to actually play in modern and future era. I have read so much about mafs on this forum. A lot seem to have top of the line PC's. What would it actually take to not get these era's?

Download the full version without the megapack and you may find it works without any problems. That worked for me and my friends.
