Re: Apex Crash - Out of memory

I'm finding an identical issue and what I have in common with the previous posts is the supposed 128 terabytes of virtual memory which is obviously wrong. Disabled page file altogether and problem should be solved-ish.

Apex Crash - Out of Memory
---------------------------
Apex crashed because it ran out of memory.

The most common causes of this are:

• "Texture Streaming Budget" is too high in your video settings. Lowering this can help.

• All other programs plus Apex combine to use too much memory. Quitting other programs can help.

• Your Windows page file is set too small. Increasing the page file size can help. (The page file lets Windows move less important memory to disk until it's needed again.)

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
• Apex was using 2.6 GB of physical memory.
• Apex was using 4.9 GB of virtual memory.
• Apex failed to allocate 540.0 KB of memory.

• Your PC has 8.0 GB of memory physically installed.
• Your PC has 128.0 TB of virtual memory (with the page file).

Hi @RedFasterNow, 

Just to make sure I understand correctly, are you still getting the same error after disabling Page File, or did that help with the issues you were having? 

What appears to have solved the problem for myself is to disable the page file on the partition that both Origin and Apex (and operating system) are installed on. As others have mentioned I have no explanation other than something changing in a Windows update.

In my case there is a C, D, and E drive. C and D exist on the same physical drive, E is its own device, and the page file on D and E are system managed. C has working software installed with page file disabled. No further issues.

If it's worth knowing C and D share a high capacity SSHD and E is a low capacity high performance SSD that I only use as a workspace from time to time and I have to say my system stability is pretty good in general. No complaint, I just wanted to share what worked for me.

Good to know, thanks for sharing this!
