Issues fixed
Out of Memory
- This error has no proper workaround and is a symptom of the game engine's limitations (restricted RAM indexing)
- Lower graphical settings, and avoid memory-heavy mods.}}
- Any mod that uses high-resolution textures (such as the Edain mod) are highly susceptible to this crash.
- Some users report reinstallation fixes the issue.
Exception Access Violation on startup
- This is caused when the options.ini file has not been found (installation had no administration right to properly install your game and failed to create options.ini)[2]
Make missing options.ini[citation needed] |
