Haha.

DDR2 is what this thing can handle, I forgot what MHZ is the maximum.

Stuff is from 2007, 5 years old. 

Christo, I had more or less the same problems when I had 2 GB Ram. Mount & Blade in general seems to have some kind of weak engine or whatever, never saw a game that crashes so much^^

But when I upgraded from 2 to 4 GB it became less worse. Now I only get crashes from time to time, usually when I alt+tab too often

Some mods for warband always crash after 5 seconds when you have less than 4 GB

I hope it works for you to put some into it (if you have trouble to find out what fits into your pc I bet someone here is able to help you^^ )

easiest if not sure about your mobo is to download cpu-z and check your mobo type, and google can do the rest

I got similar problems as you christo on xp, now it's better on win 8 (but hey, i have 1 gb of shit ram)(it eat about 30% of 1gb ram in iddle sometimes).

I'm sure it works even better on win 10

Gah. Windows 7 ate 50-60% of my RAM on IDLE. The whole thing was a disaster.

That's because it caches stuff, which is the proper way to use memory (it doesn't really affect applications when they need it). If your system has 90% free memory it's a pretty good sign that the memory management is utter garbage (i.e. XP).
7 might not work well on very very old hardware, but 2GB is definitely enough.

[Christo]

Yeah that's the problem, the hardware compatibility.

I had problems with that on 7.

[Tavuk_Bey]

2GB

Got another crash just now, lemme post.
Again, at round end, at map change probably.

hei i always get the same crashes, i have 4gb ddr2 ram with windows 7 32bit operation system at the moment. before that i used 64bit windows7 and never had crashes in mount & blade but my graphics driver was not compatible with it, i wasn't able to play bf3 so i had to install 32bit. try to switch to 64bit to avoid crashes and to use your ram at full capacity. with any 32 bit system, you can't use your ram at full capacity. i can't believe this shitty game consumes so much ram

[Lech]

I'm sure it works even better on win 10

there is windows 8, you can even try it

m&b consume almost entire ram i have (1gb)

[Mlekce]

i have win 7 64 bit,4 gb ddr2 ram, 2.7ghz dual core processor,and 240 gt card with 1gb memory,and i get crashes when i use alt+tab too much.
Not to mention that i play on low settings,cause playing on higher details is inpossible.
For game that have crappy graphic,and considering date when it is made this game eats too much resources.
In single player works ok under 100 ppl in battle.

[Leshma]

Just try getting some RAM first... that should be fairly cheap. Also having an OS that knows how to manage memory (i.e. NOT Windows XP) can help.

I have 2 gigs as well but even though RAM is cheap I can't add more. I already got used to regular CTDs after two hours.

[Kafein]

If you don't mind low graphics, one of the key settings for ram usage is the texture size.

[Lannistark]

Why do people use x32 if they got more than 3gb ram? Is it ignorance or just pure boredom?

Some drivers, hardware and applications are not handled well by 64 bit systems... Other than that, pretty much no reason.

Upload it nao.

Okay. I will do that in the evening...

my PC is also 5 years old, 2gbs ram:

You need to 1/ FORMAT.

2/ uninstall mylittleponyonline and all the shit that starts up on windows startup.

CTRL ALT DELETE and violently kill 50 or so svchost process, pretty sure you will spot what ones instantly destoy your pc, dont kill those ones again: Your pc should be running at about 5% on XP, if it isnt, try to get a better SP. 2 is good, has much less Windows Security ROFL than sp3.

Honestly, this game is old, your pc is old: see the correlation: Worst case scenario set yourself to DX7, 0 ragdolls, 5 bodies.


Oh, and most importantly: Dont try to join EU1. 100 players with unique gear and face setup is killer, stick to smaller servers.

It just seems weird. All pograms developed nowadays are actually aimed to be ran in 64 bit systems. C'mon, you just need an x86 folder  Besides, hardware has nothing to do; quite the contrary, it enhances the performance of your machine by being able to execute more than 2gb ram (or 3 with the windows trick) and the BIOS in multi-core processors is faulty in 32 systems. Only possible reason could be that machine is old, but c'mon, if it's old how come you have 4gb ram? xD

Anyways, if he can, I recommend Tavuk to install the 64 bit system. It's really gonna help
