| 531961 | 2007-03-11 18:55:00 | One of the games I play has a memory leak, I believe this will be fixed soon enough but in the meantime I was wondering if there is anything I can do to lessen its affect. Its a online MMORPG (Lord of the Rings Online) so latency is a issue although with DSL its not really that important. The problem does not really look like a latency one, its just like the computer runs out of memory to do what it needs to do, a reboot and the memory is cleared and your good to go again but I want to know if I can change settings or do something else to help mitigate these symptoms. |

| 531965 | 2007-03-12 03:57:00 | Ask whoever made it for a workaround or a fix. Its in the works but no defined date. Was wondering if anything I could do to help it. Bigger pagefile or something I dunno...... |

| 531966 | 2007-03-12 04:05:00 | Why wld u make the file bigger if it runs out of memory? It'll run out even faster most probably if u change it to a higher #. But if u wanna change it if u have XP right mouse on my computer / advanced / performance / settings / virtual memory / change button. |

| 531968 | 2007-03-12 08:02:00 | The leaked memory should be paged to disk fairly quickly anyway, but the best workaround is to not play the game for more than an hour or so at once depending on the severity of the leak. Simply exiting and starting the program again will clear all its memory. | TGoddard (7263) | ||
| 531969 | 2007-03-12 08:06:00 | You shouldn't be changing the size of your Windows page file at all - it should be automatic. You can, however, put one on a separate partition for better performance: [urlhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/314482[/url]. The problem with page files is that they grow and shrink rapidly and as a result have a tendency to become fragmented over time. Paging/swap partitions are a better solution as they cannot become fragmented but a page file on its own partition is the best you can do with Windows. | TGoddard (7263) | ||
