Constant Crashes
So after the last patch my game hangs almost every 1 -2 games on the loading map screen when I start a game. Any solutions for this? Does someone knows what causes this?
What's your vmem percent after 1-2 games? Because mine has gone up from 30-40% (after 2-3 hours of constant playing) to 50% after 1 game. That might be causing the hang (and crash?)

If it's super high, like 80% or higher, this thread might have a solution: http://www.aeriagames.com/forums/en/....php?t=2339377

All it does is increase the vmem the AVA process is allowed.

I didn't checked the VMem as I use a i7 machine with Intel HD 4400 graphics and 8Gb RAM lol. Need to check that one! Thanks!

Btw: If i change that thing on CMD will it affect my pc in any way? Cuz I'm too lazy to check the Vmem every game lol. Just want to set that thing right away on the cmd.

I have display "32 and nVidia card, only use my video settings 800x600, low quality, no crash.
If problem continue, post your error message here. Good luck
I doubt I need any of those and play on low resolution -_- ? Lol i7 and Intel HD no need for 800x600. This just started to happen after the last patch update.

I think it will just affect ava for that one launch. You'll have to do it again every time you launch AVA I think. Don't quote me on that though.

If you want, I can make a batch file later to launch AVA and set the command line so you don't have to every time you launch.

Edit: I would do it now, but I'm in class for ~1 hour.

Ok, so I looked into it a bit to make sure it was safe and to see how it worked, and here's what I found out (condensed version):
  • Windows Vista and 7 (which have 4 gigs of ram available) dedicate 2 gigs to the system (drivers, video card, w/e else) and 2 to the programs (like AVA)
  • I could not find anything that said systems with 8 gigs dedicated it half and half (4 gigs to each) the same as 4gigs, but from what I've read, I'm assuming not
  • You can use the command line (make sure to run as administrator) to change it using the command "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 4000" (without the quotes)
  • That will dedicate 4 gigs of ram to the programs, which leaves 4 gigs to the system. You can change the number to anything below 8000 (8 gigs), but it's not a good idea to even come close to it (otherwise you might encounter issue with your video card and other things)
  • Once you set it, you have to restart your computer for it to take effect. You can undo it "bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa" (no quotations), then reset your computer for it to take effect.


I don't know for sure it will fix the hang/ crash, but other people have had similar problems in other games and this helped.

Mmmm didn't worked. Did all steps still hangs. Not sure if info: OS win 8.1 x64 will help out.

I'm not sure then, it should work the same on Win 8, based on my skimming of the docs.
How long have you let it hang?

The fisrt time it hanged I let it like 2 minutos on the loading grey screen. Now when it hangs I close it right away with Task Manager. It says AVA Not Responding. Let me leave the hang and see what it happens. Ill post back

EDIT: It hangs on "connecting to game". I left it there about 5 minutes still in the same screen.

I've had something similar happen, but eventually it would connect for me if I left it long enough. I'm not sure what the problem is at this point. You might want to post in the Technical Help section of the Aeria AVA forums to see if a GS or a player with more knowledge about the game than me might help.

I'll keep looking into possible solutions in the meantime, and I'll post back here if I find anything (so if anyone else experiences the problem they can see the fix). Good luck!

Ok. Thanks a lot! I'll be looking forward to what you find out.
In the last update the game got capacity x 3. From 2.4 gb to 6.3 gb. And the area graph is heavily modified.
I also have a Intel i7 and still play in 800x600, I see much larger monkeys and get to 200 fps without problems.
The PC can be good, but the Aeria server is not the best, I think. You can try making a defrag of your hard drive. Maybe that helps.
