Kraft Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Hello, I get this error message when I launch any mission above tiny I have 8GB of Vram and 16GB of Ram, both of which are no where near used up as can be seen in the screenshot. I have reinstalled the game several times, checked integrity of the files (through steam) and I have NO mods installed and I put everything on lowest settings (used to run on high) What is going on here? The game used to run fine even when I loaded up master maps or the Huge missions. I dont know if there was an update that caused this. Anyone got any idea what causes this and how I can fix it?

Redwolf Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 There was a bad version of the ATI/AMD graphics drivers causing this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 A couple of testers with AMD cards were able to solve this issue by rolling back their drivers to 21.8.2 or earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need, just update to the latest, it has been fixed by AMD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Actually the problem is still there with the latest drivers, i.e. 22.1.2, but in my case I only get the "out of memory" error when trying to load very large maps (Rx Vega 56/Ryzen 7 3700x). Going back to the 21.8.2 driver solves the problem completely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelican Pal Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I was running into this and found that having my display.txt set was causing some of the crashing issue. 2560 1440 144 were my settings and I set them to 0 0 0 and the crashing mostly stopped. Still happens too regularly for my tastes but I can now load into large maps over 50% of the time. AMD rx5700xt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billythegoat Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Just started getting the same error with my Nvidia GTX 1650 Edited March 18, 2022 by Billythegoat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 That is a useless error message since it fails to say what kind of memory it ran out of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billythegoat Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Got this one last night , first time- have been playing this for a year and a half , I recently discovered the fun of the scenario editor and had created a couple of huge scenario 4 battalions vs vs 2 1/2 , I started getting crashes during gameplay , like when a reinforcement spawned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - you're pushing the engine with that size of force. I had a scenario which was supposed to release with F&R which had about two battalions' worth of Germans and a regiment's worth of Soviets and it resolutely either failed to load or crashed about 30 minutes in. Likewise it was easy to spot when a new unit arrived because the blue bar during the loading of the arrival turn took longer to fire up. The map obviously played a part but was certainly not at maximum map sizes (about 3km x 2.5km), didn't have crazy elevation changes, didn't have many trees and I doubt there were more than 50 buildings on it. These traditionally are things that on maps tend to tax the computer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billythegoat Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Nvidia gtx 1650, and umm...................where exactly could I find that ? Through the Nvidia control panel system information ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billythegoat Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I see system video memory is 0 MB on the Nvidia system info 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billythegoat Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I think I found the problem , graphics board selection was set to auto select , and it looks like it was using s the intel graphics vs the Nvidia graphics card , I set it to the Nvidia and have been able to play so far without fatal errors. Would it have been possible to play Black Sea for a year ( without problems ) with the CPU graphics instead of the GPU ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I would guess some sort of Windows Update has changed this (not sure which one it could have been though). This used to be a setting that would be controlled by a GPU utility (such as Nvidia Control Panel), but Microsoft decided Windows should control such functionality with Windows 10 at some point. I don't think this feature was part of the earlier versions of Windows, but probably something more recent (20H1 or later ?). I would guess that this setting reverted to the Intel integrated video at some point. Luckily you discovered this since I was going to recommend uninstalling your current video driver and installing something newer (if that wasn't installed already). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraft Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) I have selected my RX480 through the windows menu and according to task manager this is also what is being used by the game, yet it still crashes on the newer drivers. It should be noted the crashing for me does not yield an error message anymore, the game just disappears. It however works if I revert drivers. As some other applications of mine require up-to-date drivers I hope a fix for this will be found. Edited May 16, 2022 by Kraft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the game backs up in the cloud while I play. It is a feature I don't want if the modem also plays a part. I am only guessing here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Quote I hope a fix for this will be found. This will likely need to be a fix coming from AMD rather than Battlefront. We have seen it a multitude of times where a newer driver misbehaves and nothing has changed on Battlefront's side. It can sometimes take up to a year to get a fix that ends up working properly (an issue that happened with CMSF1 back in 2009/2010 with AMD drivers). Video drivers can be notoriously buggy with a variety of games. They can work fine with one game and be an absolute mess with another. This is usually the result of 'performance optimizations' which can necessitate taking some 'shortcuts' that can prove problematic with some games. That's probably what you're experiencing here. Most games on Windows are DirectX and CM is OpenGL, which is rendered by different drivers within the driver bundle. In the past it was possible with some drivers to run a different (usually older) OpenGL driver with a newer DirectX driver/driver-bundle. However this really hasn't been a possibility for about a decade with AMD and Nvidia. My assumption is that the OpenGL and DirectX drivers are sharing resources/links within the driver bundle and a different OpenGL driver simply couldn't interact with the rest of the software of the driver bundle (this is especially true of 'control panels', but there are other things too). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
