Mass Effect: Constantly crashing. Cites lack of virtual memory?
So, I downloaded a copy of Mass Effect 1 through Steam a few years ago. Recently it has been giving me an issue where, at random times during the game, it would freeze and give me the following message:
"Ran out of virtual memory. To prevent this condiion, you must free up more space on your primary hard disk. MallocLarge(size=27709440, type = 4096, protect = 4, VM = 1984425984/2147352576)"
Now, it has done this to the point where I cannot progress past going through the Conduit on Ilos.
So far, I have done the following:
Reinstalled the game (failed)
Re-allocating the virtual memory (failed)
Uninstalling several programs that I did not use (failed)
Restarting my computer (failed)
As you can see, nothing seems to work. I cannot go and buy another computer yet, as I have limited funds due to being a college student who just got a job, so that is the only solution I cannot try as of the time of this post.
Here is the important System Information:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 330 @ 2.13 GHz
RAM: 4.00 GB (3.80 GB usable)
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
DirectX Version: Unsure, I do not know how to check for this.
Video: Intel(R) HD Graphics (assuming the graphics are integrated; I remember my computer saying so before, but I cannot remember how to access such information again, and the Device Manager is not very good at giving this information)
Sound Controller: Intel(R) Display Audio
Does anyone have any solutions to this?
