Hello,As of today after the patch I've had problem logging into my guild hall. It says and error occured while requesting bytes of memory. The number is never consistant sometimes its very high and sometimes its low. I can log into other places that are NOT my guild hall but seeing as how most of my characters are in the guild hall this is very frustraiting for me <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Any help is greatly appreciatedThank you

Please open a support ticket and include your DXDIAG/MSINFO files. You can post the incident number here so that I can review it.

#111207-001947 is the reference number. I should note that the game runs fine on my laptop, i loaded the guild hall... a bit slow but it loaded none the less. Thank you for looking into this <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

The crashes now seem random on the laptop and the PC. I crashed zoning into sundere frontier but not Qeynos or any of its little towns. Same error on both machines.

Out of memory client crash in "New Freeport"...first time in years and years. Possibly just because of the HUGE number of PCs there. Seems ok elsewhere <shrugs>.

Please open support tickets and include your DXDIAG/MSINFO files. Feel free to post the incident numbers right here when you do so I can review.In the meantime lets just make sure DX9 is up to date.Please download and run the file linked in the article below. This is a self-extracting executable file that will prompt you to select a folder for extraction. Create a folder on your desktop and direct it to that folder. Once complete, open that folder and run the DXSETUP file to start the actual update itself.<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8109" target="_blank">[DX9] June 2010</a>

Might need to get a look at your DXDIAG too if this is just in the guild halls.

Would you mind posting your OS's, how much RAM you got, and how much memory your video cards have? Posting your DXDIAG information works as well <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Just chiming in to say that I have the exact same problem as the OP.The only workaround I've found is to set the game graphics to "extreme performance" near the GH - that may provide temporary playability (while still being annoying though <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />).Ticket with dxdiag data has been submitted.

I also have this problem since the patch - i can add a bit more insight. The game seems to have a huge memory leak/management problem (under 32bit ?) - from first time starting the game to zoning into freeport (not zoning anywhere else before) - the game uses the massive amount of 1.4 GB RAM.This is with 2560x Resolution (i had never this issue before) - i have a 560GTX (1GB Ram) and 4GB RAM (ok for 32bit this means my actual RAM available is about 3GB). WinXP Sp3 32bit latest nvidia and directx9.Just doing 2-3 ingame screenshots will already move the RAM usage to its limit (nothing todo with pagefile, this cannot be paged anymore) and you get this exception.Note, this is only with the recent binary - im a developer (c++ and others) myself and you can trust me if i say that i know its not my system and i really did not change anything.I havent checked, but was the binary compiled with large address support?

This is Calily, posted above. I have put my issues in a separate thread with my dxdiag and my msinfo, as well as sent it in as a ticket.I discovered that I have no issues outside of Freeport. I was able to get a character into the Frostfell instance, no crashing. I played another toon that was already parked into a player house inside Neriak and didn't have a crash all night. It only crashes when I am cruising a character around Freeport.I've had a similar issue in Neriak, but rather than a fatal error followed by a crash, in Neriak I get a ran out of memory window and the game locks up, visual and sound, and I have to X out of the game or close it with task manager.

I'm getting this issue once and a while. In noticed on the last crash that the virtual memory size of everquest.exe was a whopping 2gb in size, according to process explorer.Using XP 32bit with 4gb installed (3.5 addressable).I have a 1gb video card.

We're getting a lot of reports with XP 32bit not managing the memory properly so we're working on finding out why and on what end the issue lies. Just keep in mind you are at 5GB of total memory with only 4GB of it ever able to be addressed, and 500+MB of that already reserved for hardware (which is why only 3.5 physical RAM shows as available to the OS). As you are exceeding the limitation but have available memory the game may request space outside of the alotted 4GB addresses. This will cause a crash. Now, how to fix this on our end is to be determined but I'll post updates or provide further steps if we can create them.

If you're having this issue, see if the launchpad is still running. If so, try manually closing it to see if you still have the issue.

Sorry I made a post on another thread but i'm having the exact same problem since th update. I'm not a techie so I don't have all those thibngs they are posting except my error is the same as those screenshots someone posted. I never had this problem before. Even using raid settings doesn't help.

12-08-2011, 10:51 PM

Well, I am seeing this problem once again. I just crashed for the 3rd time going into my house with like 7 critical errors related to out of memory. I run Windows XP Home/SP3 with 1.5GB of physical RAM and a NVidia 6800GT Video card which I believe has 256mb of RAM. I'll try killing the LaunchPad manually before leaving the Character select screen and see what happens. 2GB physical RAM is the most my system can support.. Blah.. thought after I went from 1Gig to 1.5Gig that would have been the end of it.

Having the same kind of problems of memory allocation errors. I never had them before the update. I had to move from the 2nd highest graphics setting to extreme performance to get out of my guild hall. Until I made that change the game would crash within second of materializing in the hall. Then everything was OK for about an hour. Running Windows 7 with 2 Gig of memory, core 2 duo processor, Nvidia 8800 GTX graphics card.

Your problem is you only have 2GB of RAM and since the patch the memory consumption of EQ2 which has always been bad has been exacerbated. It's almost like the more video you load the higher memory consumption but it never releases it, all the way to 2GB.

Mysstie

12-09-2011, 01:20 AM

I can't even log into the game now without the out of memory errors.. that's even after manually closing the LaunchPad before leaving character select after I rebooted the system to make sure I freed up as much system resources I could. I sent in a petition to get Mysstie moved out. Think I'll try to load an alt and set graphics to extreme performance and see what happens. This morning's hotfix seems to have made matters worse. Yesterday I was able to get into my house numerous times.

I know how to monitor systems and there is still a substantial amount of free memory as well as paging file space at the time of the game crash. As a previous person mention in one of the numerous threads on this topic, the game appears to be issuing odd memory allocation requests. Twice I've had it crash after standing still in a bland and empty area for several minutes. I had no problem participating in full 24 person raid which is more stressful on the system them standing in a field of snow.I have more memory on order but am not convinced it will solved the problem. No matter how much memory someone has installed they won't use more than 3.25 G running a 32 bit version of Windows. Conversion to 64 bit is a fair amount work and will break a number of applications. I'm planning on waiting to see if SOE comes up with any fixes before turnig my now triple boot system into a quad boot one.

This includes RAM + Video memory. a 32bit OS can address that entire 4GB space.The reason you see 3.3ish GB of ram on a 32bit system with 4GB is because it reserves that 700MB for hardware. It's being used. However, thats 700MB of your 4GB total addressable space already gone. Once more, that includes RAM + Video memory.It isn't issuing odd memory requests, its issuing a request when all 4GB of addressable space, or every bit of physical memory, is already consumed. This can happen with physical RAM still available and the pagefile swapping isn't really a part of this particular process. Heres the issue with a 'fix' from the SOE side. While optimizations are always ongoing to better the memory management, it cannot circumvent the limitations of a 32bit OS. If you run out of addressable space you will crash. If the game consumed 400MB of ram but the rest of the system is using up all of your physical memory or addressable space, you will crash when it requests more.

Can anyone tell me how to turn off shader 3.0 without actually being able to log into the game? Also, I can't figure otu how to go back to the default ui. i figured it would just be a matter of putting a # at the beginning of those 2 lines in eq2.ini, but that'snot working. When i log in, before i crash, it is quite clearly still using the prophit skin.

On their suggestion I deleted the cache, assetcache, and logincache-us directories and did a complete game asset scan. Once in game I set the graphics settings to Extreme Performance and was able to zone into my house. I packed away some firework launchers and moved one of my plushies to another house. I then set my graphics back to their normal settings and was able to zone into my house still. So, perhaps a combination of the above steps fixed the problem for now. But yeah, I know I need a new computer.. this game is out-growing mine. Most I can do to mine is go from 1.5 to 2.0Gig of RAM which is the maximum this motherboard will support. Maybe placing the Tradeskill Apprentice and Mannequin sent it over the edge LOL.

I am having the same problem. Within seconds of zoning into the game, camped in t3 guild hall, I start getting numerous out of memory errors. after the xpac date I was fine until I zoned into freeport and since then I cant stay in game long at all without the errors and now I cant even get into the game.Windows Vista Home 32Quad Core4gig physical memoryNvidia gforce 8800gt 640mgI even went as far as reformatting my system, reinstalling everything fresh inclusing drivers etc,. The only thing that did was make the launcher take a very very long time to load and I still get the mem errors as soon as I come into game.

I had the same issue on 12/7 but found it hasn't occured while running windowed instead of full screen.

I still have this issue even running in windowed mode.WinXP Sp3. 32bit - 1GB 560GTX + 4GB RAM (means, it uses ~3GB) - im playing at 2560x Resolution and before the patch i hadnt any issues - now when i take 2-3 screenshots in game the game already crashes. The memory management has gotten for the worse again in this patch.I mean, its bad enough that such an old game cannot run top notch on recent hardware because they programmed it to be cpu bound (instead of letting the graphics card do their job) - now the client programmers make it even worse by not being able to utilize the memory correctly - seriously this is a real disgrace - the developer responsible for this mess should be ashamed - this is coming from a fellow c++ server/client developer.

For Win 7 we recommend 2GB (minimum 1GB, but again, you'll probably run in to memory errors once you hit the huge bulky or decorated zones). I personally recommend at least 4GB of ram.

OK thanks, and what about processor speed / video cards? Are there min and recommended specs for those? EQ2 still cannot use multiple cores right?Also, this may be a silly question, but did everyone who's having these problems buy the expansion? I keep trying to figure out why I was able to raid the day after the expansion and started having problems afterwards, and I keep coming back to the fact that I bought the expansion in the middle of the raid. It makes me wonder if the game would work again if the expansion was taken away from me. I have a second account that doesn't have it, I guess I'll test that theory tonight.

I am getting the same problems that everyone is having, as is my wife. Every time we zone, there is a pause, the screen goes white, and then recovers. Sometimes, the screen does not recover and we are facd with the application crash.

DX9 update, Video card driver update, and sound card driver update.Here's DX9 below, the rest you need to visit your system or motherboard manufacturer. If theres a BIOS update available for your motherboard I would also recommend that.Please download and run the file linked in the article below. This is a self-extracting executable file that will prompt you to select a folder for extraction. Create a folder on your desktop and direct it to that folder. Once complete, open that folder and run the DXSETUP file to start the actual update itself.[DX9] June 2010 - <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8109" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.microsoft.com/download/e...ls.aspx?id=8109</a>

okay my Shader 3.0 isn't checked and everytime I switch toons or zone I crsh. This didn't happen before this expac and I have been playing over 4 years now. I didn't pay $60 + monthly sub so I can crash every freaking 5 minutes. I have a ticket submitted and it's been 2 days and no reply. Actually I have 3 petitions still pending.

Ticket No #111210-000724I seem to have the same issue since launch of AoD, have tried updating drivers, updating DX9, running windowed, running fullscreen, running shader 3.0, not running shader 3.0 etc etc etc...This is very frustrating as I have had no issue with the game for years as a subscribing player and now the game is unplayable!Please help me!I want to play, I want to pay my subs and this is sooooooo frustrating <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" />PS.

I also have this problem. Very frustrating. I have not changed anything excepts I downloaded the mandatory GU 62 stuff and poof. I cant play for longer than 10 minutes it seems. Before I get that ran out of memory error. EQ2 is going to have to shut down. Hell if I cant play I sure as hell dont want to pay for it.

Requirements havent gone up but the size of the assets have. You can limit memory usage by lowering your settings down further like with Advanced display option, under performance, Graphics Resolution slider. Lower the texture resolutions as well.Your other option is to allow EQ2 to consume more than 2GB of memory or upgrade to a 64bit OS.Deadcrickets2 made a great post about this that I stickied for him - <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=506883">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=506883</a>

I found a facepalm solution.Tech support had me go into display settings to disable shader 3.0. I reported back to them that shader 3.0 was already disabled. HOWEVER, in going into the "advanced" settings, something I've not gone into for a couple of years since a new vid card previously to the current vid card, I found that the game had reset my display settings. Normally my "custom" settting is some things on medium, some thing on high, shadows and bloom off. (Bloom gives me a headache.) I swear, I haven't been in those settings for a couple of years. I like med/high on my rig, I get good performance with it and the graphics are nice enough. Looking at my settings today, I discovered they still say "custom" but every darn setting was reset to maximum!!!I don't know if the game automatically reset my settings when I installed a new vid card last spring or if this happened in one of the updates. I've had memory crash issues lately in Neriak and with the New Freeport, I've been crashing within 5 minutes. I've reset my "custom" settings back to my normal med/high settings. I have not crashed in Freeport since.

Heh, and just now I crashed in Neriak...memory issues. Still, I was able to tootle around Freeport and without a fatal error crash, which is a huge improvement

I did what Deadcrickets2 suggests and I haven't had a memory error since. I am still having far more lag than I ever did pre AoD to the point in cities and certain other zones I have to turn my graphics down to balanced and sometimes lower just to be able to move.

I upgraded to windows 7 and it seems to be fine even with just 4g of memory. heck, it even ran with 2 gigs of memory with the new OS (though it was quite jumpy).<cite>TSR-JoshuaM wrote:</cite><blockquote>Deadcrickets2 made a great post about this that I stickied for him - <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=506883">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=506883</a></blockquote>That's curious. In that post, he's talking about allowing the application to use more virtual memory. But you said this.<cite>TSR-JoshuaM wrote:</cite><blockquote>It isn't issuing odd memory requests, its issuing a request when all 4GB of addressable space, or every bit of physical memory, is already consumed. This can happen with physical RAM still available and the pagefile swapping isn't really a part of this particular process. </blockquote>So, I'm confused. Isn't the pagefile another name for virtual memory? Have you backed off of the earlier statement, or was it maybe a typo in deadcricket's post?

TSR-JoshuaM

12-12-2011, 05:15 PM

The context may be confusing you.Windows 32bit only allows an application, like EQII, to consume up to 2GB of virtual memory. Lets say it did that and is consuming 2GB of virtual memory. Some of that memory is addressed to actual physical system RAM or video RAM, some of it is paged out, and so on. Virtual memory is not synonymous with pagefile, though a pagefile is a form of virtual memory it is not the only source of it. The way I describe it, which is just a different term for the same thing, would be total addressable memory space. He is using the word virtual memory which is still 100% accurate.

I am also suffering from the out of memory crashing problemI have opened a support ticket: #111211-001808<div>Since the AOD update on 12/6 I've been getting the application ran out of memory error , happens in any zone I've visitedsome zones last longer than others, but total time is 5 seconds to 10 minutes playtime before crash ends playing.I have two accounts and two computers, this happens on any combination, in this post I'm just giving information for main computer and this main accountI have tried the /force_low_mem_mode 1 command, I have tried adding the /3GB switch described in deadcrickets2's post, I have lowered all video settings to the absolute minimum, replaced/deleted UI files, removed/reinstalled the game, tried both streaming and full version.</div><div>Is there something I missed and have not tried or have I exhausted all suggestions proposed so far in this thread?</div>

Therendil

12-12-2011, 09:44 PM

The posted info on the 3GB fix is confusing because the MS article itself says 'virtual memory.' However, the /3GB switch actually affects physical and virtual memory. With that switch set, all programs have 1GB more physical RAM to use before needing any virtual memory.-= Therendil =-

so is this game now programmed to need more than 2 gig of memory? When did that happen?

Here's my question...why is a 7 year old game having such memory issues. On EQ1, I can run 4 different clients at the same time with little stutter (unless in the guild lobby). On WoW, I was able to run 2 to 3 instances at once with no issues. I can even run 2 instances of Rift at the same time with no issues. (This is while having a web window up, and usually music playing also). Why does EQ2 crash my system due to Out of Memory issues when trying to play on anything above balanced? (And, even there, once in a while). Trying to play at max settings, or even Better Quality (one step up from Balanced), crashes me within 20 mins. Why?

The fix i found for this (worked on my computer at any rate, Win xp Pro, sp3, 32bit)Delete all everquest files, then do a search for everquest then sony and delete all everquest files. Once that is done, delete shortcuts.The come here and re download the game!Worked extremely well for me, hope it works for others as well!It wasn't "my computer" at all, it was the fact that the game files were doubled up and it was trying to access both the original files and the new updated ones at the same time. IE: my eq2 extended files and the new eq2 files. I was getting 1 - 9 fps in cities - due to that fact. even happened in darklight woods! Once i did a fresh start in game, problems went away !Except for that annoying back to the mob thingie! That could be a game breaker for many.

The game wont try to access multiple sets of assets and you cant have two of the same asset in the same folder (they have specific names, so two files cant share the same filename).I would assume this is because the configuration files were deleted and you started the game with the default config files. That's covered in our steps I pasted in below. This can help you with client side issues that are caused by file corruption or outdated configurations etc.You may want to make backups and then delete the following files and folders:cache foldereq2_recent.inieq2_default.iniEverQuest2.exeeq2.iniAs well as the character specific files, these will appear as such:Servername_CharacterName_EQ2_uisettings.iniStationname_characters.iniTo do this, please follow these directions:1. First look for your EverQuest II Extended directory. You can find the default directory in (for Windows XP): C:Program FilesSonyEverQuest II (for Windows Vista/7): C:UsersPublicSony Online EntertainmentInstalled GamesEverQuest II2. Click on MY COMPUTER and then proceed into local disk C:3. Navigate your way to the default directory, or your chosen installation directory.4. Next look for any files explained above and delete them. 5. Afterwards, please start EverQuest II to have these files re-downloaded by the patcher.If deleting these files does not resolve your issue, you can restore your backed up files and folders and retain your hotkeys, contact lists, and display settings.

I had a reply posted on a diff website trying to help others with this and realized it was a decent summary of all the things one can try if they are still having memory crashing problems...<hr /><div><h2>Re: Game crashes </h2> <div><div><blockquote>I had the same memory crashing errors since the AoD launch. There is a lengthy post with other folks about it on the Performance Support forums. I ended up trying many many things and will list here what I tried. I do not know what individual benefits each of these offer, I only know that I can now play a reasonably long time after having tried all these things. I would just try things one at a time, easier things then harder until you see some improvement. #1 - added the following line to my eq2.ini file, and/or type the command into the chat window first thing when loading into the game: /force_low_mem_mode 1 #2 - added the /3GB switch for Windows XP as described in the performance support forum (the post includes a recommendation for Windows Vista as well as XP.) <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=506883" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=506883</a> #3 - (hated this one) removed and reinstalled EverQuest II (saved my UI files and such though) #4 - removed all video drivers, used "Driver Cleaner Pro" to remove any left over bits, and installed most current video driver available #5 - (hated this one even more) deleted/removed all UI files and let default ones load in #6 - lowered all video settings, and I mean everything bottomed out. This goes beyond just the "Extreme Performance" settings to where you go through and slide everything to the left, uncheck all the boxes, etc... Once I got into the game reliably for a while, I would then make important improvements one at a time and see if I survived them. "Important" improvements for me were settings that affected how far away harvest nodes would appear, mobs would appear, and particle effects would appear for finding certain things. (For example finding where to place listening devices in the FrostFell special zone is impossible if you don't have particles turned on because the sprinkly lights don't appear at all and you have no idea where to put the devices otherwise.) This is an ongoing step as I have to ramp things back down if going back to Freeport for example. #7 - prayed and made a sacrifice to the gods of gaming. BTW - my system is older than EQII itself. It is from spring of 2004, has had 1 hard drive added, and the video card replaced. I run Windows XP on a Pentium 4, 2.40 GHz CPU, with 1.00 GB RAM, with an ATI Radeon 9550 / x1050 video card with 256 MB of memory. (This screamed in 2004 and now putters along.) This system is less than what is listed as recommended specs for the game, but is more than the listed minimum specs. I submitted a support ticket and spoke with Tech Support on the phone. We closed the ticket after agreeing that I've tried everything user oriented that is known/recommended at this time. (NOTE: the /3GB is *not* recommended, but offered.) I just wish I had the money for a new system or at least more memory as I think that would probably improve or resolve my issue.... (Side note: Anyone running a machine *worse* than mine successfully?)</blockquote><blockquote><hr /></blockquote><blockquote>Just want to help if possible. Hopefully most folks aren't having this issue anymore</blockquote></div></div></div>

I'm Having the prob trying to get to my toons that are in my GH. No probs with the one NOT in my GH. But I do notice way more lag and lower fps since this issue started.As a solution, Can we just have All toons, camped in GH's, spawned at TS docks on the next hotfix? Like when we are in a seasonal zone, and it's no longer available.Also, Are we still posting dxdiag's and doing tickets? If so I can do one too.

Greggor: I have one system left with 1GB RAM and I no longer try to run EQ2 on it. Based on direct experience, it is my opinion that you just cannot run EQ2 reliably in 1GB RAM. Remember that video cards try to take system RAM equal to video RAM for buffers. In any case, the limited RAM forces massive vitual memory disk activity, and it has always been at times of extreme paging that I have gotten crashes on systems with limited RAM.If you can upgrade RAM to 2GB, it could put you back in the game. 4BG would be better. The system otherwise should be okay.

I guess I will add my problems to the already full pot here.I am also having the same Critical Memory error problems that have been mentioned numerous times in this thread. All of these have started occuring since the newest Game Update. This only happens to me in Freeport though.Now, this morning, I can't zone into any zones (exception: Guild Hall) without locking up tight. I am having to do a CTL,ALT,DEL just to get out of the game.Do I need to do a /petition and inclue my DXDiag log file ?

I'm having these same issues as well. Prior to AoD, I was having next to no issues, then afterwards, I've been able to log a few times after the server switch, then I had to be offline for two weeks, and now I can't even get two minutes in without a crash or a freeze.I've been playing the game since 2004, and I hate the idea of cancelling, but seriously, I don't get a lot of free time. If my time gets spent dealing with freezes and crashes rather than enjoying the game, then I'm out.

now its happening out in the world as well as my house, was only in Guild hall that it occured. Took 3 days for a GM to finally get 2 of my characters out. The memory usage is getting out of hand. The GM that contacted me about getting my characters out didnt care about the issues that caused it all, basically told me to suck it up.
