FFS I have been having this problem since alpha. I get a crash almost every game. Should I upload my dxdiag results? It's a big load of text..! Latest graphics drivers, windows 8.1 etc etc.
Please upload your DXDIAG, if you get a 'PA.exe' crash there must be something wrong... the game hasn't crashed on me in a long while....
I think you need to update to the new AMD beta drivers... those are the current stable ones and they've been giving people problems...
I almost sure that you crash because you decreased size of page file / virtual memory or disabled it because of this: Code: Memory: 8192MB RAM Available OS Memory: 8136MB RAM Page File: 2830MB used, 8633MB available ... ------------------------ Disk & DVD/CD-ROM Drives ------------------------ Drive: C: Free Space: 63.0 GB Total Space: 237.9 GB File System: NTFS Model: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB I know Samsung have some tool on Windows that ask you to disable page file or disable it automatically and unfortunately this will cause crashes each time you're out of RAM. If you have some extra HDD you can install then it's good idea go to Windows settings and set page file / virtual memory initial size to 12GB on HDD. In case you can't re-enable page file you'll crash like that and only way to avoid it is: Exit from every application you have running before you launch the game. Don't play on any large systems. Buy more RAM.
Thanks for your help guys. I can't believe 8gb is not enough for playing games... I've updated the drivers. I have a m-ITX PC so space is pretty limited. I really shouldn't have to buy more RAM/add another HDD just to play this game. Not cool. Hopefully the drivers will help out. Thanks again
It's might be enough for PA, but other software that running on your PC take memory and if you for example keep web browser open it's together with OS and other software might eat about 3-4GB easily. And if there no page file your OS can't unload it all from memory so very limited about of RAM remain for actual game.
Just turn the swap file back on- I run exclusively on SSD's these days and *all of them* run with standard swap file activated. Defragging is a bad idea, swap, not so much as it only takes up relatively small amount of a drive anyways.
