I am playing on my games partition 4.5Gb free and its only crashed to desktop once, after 4 hrs play. (128Mb RAM, Matrox G400 5.41 drivers).
But my wife wanted a go, so after having a problem with her creating a party on my copy of the game I copied the whole folder to drive C:.
C: has my Windows and swapfile on it, 2.5Gb free after this.
Her game runs fine initially, but a couple of times has crashed to desktop after just 10 minutes.
Currently Windows is set to manage virtual memory, but I am wondering if there might be a problem with the swapfile competing with game temporary files for disk space.
Yes, I know now, if I had returned my party to the inn before trying to start her party I wouldn't have had the problem, but I didn't, and I don't want to ask her to re-create her party yet again (done it twice already!)
Any suggestions? - thanks,
