DWU wont run stable on new PC

Post by Dexter »

Hi there,

I recently installed DWU on my new PC and half into my first game I realize it is crashing regularly with the "System out of memory" message.
While on my old PC the game was slow but it almost never crashed, and if I recall correctly never with this out of memory prompt.

New PC:
Intel I7, 32GB ram
Nvidia GTX 1060, 6GB
Win 10, 64 bit

Old PC:
Some Intel CPU more than 10 years old, 8GB ram
Nvidia 8800 GTX,700MB
Win 7, 64 bit

So you see the conundrum here, lack of ram sounds a bit absurd to me...[:D]

Any idea on what might be the cause of this is appreciated.
Greetings,

Dexter

limit what is running in the background, makes sure the game is run as admin and also all the prerequisites are pre installed, the games up to date and the game and folder has been excluded from the AV, install as admin and run as admin on the game does this anyway, and depending on what AV you use, it shouldn't do a scan in the background when a game is running.

ram makes no difference on either the card or the system, as it's a 32bit program which can't use more than 3gb anyway, so system and GPU combined
