CoH2 memory bug

Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2014, 22:04 PMCyridius

So, most of the time I play CoH2 I'm running into this problem where my system notifies me that CoH2 has run out of memory to use. Unless there's a gigantic memory leak that I'm missing, I have an abundance of memory. 8GB of RAM and 2GB dedicated vRAM on top of that. There should be no issues at all with memory.

This is an entirely recent phenomenon for me, where it either freezes my game straight off(And crashes it, losing me the game), or even in the worst case it has caused a Blue Screen crash but with no defined error(A SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION which is very broad/nonspecific).

Generally, however, I've just gotten the popup saying there's no more memory or a crash with the Relic Bug Splat screen asking me what happened.

My system is as follows;

OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit

CPU: i7 Q3610M 2.3x4GHz(3.2x4GHz Turbo)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M /w 2GB vRAM

8GB RAM

I meet all the required specs. I just don't know what the issue is because it is becoming a serious problem for my play.

This may be a windows 8.1 thing. It happens to a lot of games, and one of the recent 8.1 updates seems to have made it even more frequent.

Search Windows 8.1 on google and you'll see it's very common. The Microsoft site has a huge thread on it.

This thread mentions some fixes but I just found it now so I have not tried any of them.

The same thing has been happening to me and my systems specs are quite similar to yours. Hope they fix this soon it's making coh2 nigh unplayable

Hah, wow.

So it happens when it's playing a game in a different resolution to the desktop?

I'll have to go from 1360x768 to.... 1366x768. I didn't even notice they were different. Hopefully that'll fix it.

I also found this thread on Relic's CoH forums, so it may not be totally the fault of Windows here;
