I need Guild Wars Help...

[bamthedoc]

I really, really want to get on. The install went okay, and downloading isn't a problem. However...despite the fact that my system meets and exceeds, even if slightly, the minimum requirements, I constantly run out of RAM by the time I get to loading the very first movie. I try to skip it, but my system gives me a "System Memory Too Low" warning message and the game crashes before I have a chance to do such.

System Details:

WinXP
Pentium III
128 Mb (probably the problem)



:frustrate Great... I think I pretty much meet the bare minimum for system memory... You may feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I just need to know if there are any other problems you guys might see that I have to (get over/fix). I can, easily enough, buy a 256 Mb or 512 Mb SDRAM Notebook Card from Radio Shack (being as I work there).

Your ram is your problem minimum is 256MB


Minimum System Specs:
* Windows® XP/2000/ME/98
* Intel Pentium® III 800 Mhz or equivalent
* 256 MB RAM
* CD-ROM Drive

Okay bam, this is how it goes.. Control panel, system, advanced, advanced, virtual memory, custom size, 1024 and the other is 1024, hit set and you should be fine!

 

[bamthedoc]

XD

How did I just know I misread?

Thanks for the information. I should really figure out which video and sound card I use... I might have to look into that, but I doubt it. I know where and how to get a SDRAM Notebook Card, though.

BAKA BAKA BAKA!!

Why did I have to misread the stupid system minimum requirements? -_-; I'd have that blasted card by now... Here I was thinking I could play on mah current PC.

I don't think that'll help, actually. I just checked my system processes, and I'm using anywhere from 46 - 94 % of my system's physical memory. That's with Mozilla Foxfire, MSMessenger, AIM, AVG Anti-Virus, WiFi Radio, and a few miscelanious programs running. Shutting off AIM would cut my usage, nearly, in half, but...that still leaves much to be desired.

bam, you dont need * ATI Radeon 8500 or GeForce 3 or 4 MX Series Video Card with 32MB of VRAM * TRUST ME.

I took forever to find out hwo to fix yoru problem and you not even going to try? Those min. requirements is so you dont lag, my friend plays with WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY worse conditions and laggs a little.. but he can play.. :rolleyes


edit: You should kill your MSN, AIM, all the xtra shit... :-/

 

[bamthedoc]

XD I didn't get to read your post, son

I'll try the method out. In fact, I'm getting into that area, now. What I will still do, however, is buy an SDRAM Notebook Card.

 

[Brandon]

What is a SDRAM Notebook Card.??

 

[bamthedoc]

Here is an example for a Desktop. Pentium II and III require SDRAM. Celeron and IV require DDR.


I'm under "System Properties" and "Advanced" tab, but I don't see another "Advanced" button. Am I missing something?

 

[Brandon]

goto performance settings..

 

[bamthedoc]

Okay. I found it. I think I should test what I did to rape my system, now...

 

[Brandon]

Good luck solder..

 

[bamthedoc]

-_-; The lag is rediculous. I'll get the SDRAM chip and see if that helps with that.

 

[Brandon]

Ahh, but it runs... See im good, so what tis my prize?

 

[bamthedoc]

You get to see the awesomeness that is Majizox Ilystrn once I get the game running in a moderately good fashion XD

I have pre-sale and collector's edition CD keys ^_^

 

[Brandon]

give me yourse and ill give you mine, you get sparkly hands when you to / commands....

 

[bamthedoc]

Huh?

I have the keys installed to my account, already...

>_>;

Then again...I mightn't have a clue what you're refering to. Majizox Ilystrn is an Meismer. I hope to get started, soon.

 

[Brandon]

When you use "/" commands like /dance your hands give out sparkles, and thats for people who only got collectors edition, and when you do start, play with me <3 also you can join the guild IM in till sweaty get the BF one going.. or if you already have planes
