If you get the Out of Memory Error with Age of Conan here is the temporary fix until Funcom can resolve it.

Delete shader cache files from AoC folder

  • shader.cache
  • shaders_cache
  • shader.cache.local

Add the /3GB Switch. This is a Windows Memory management feature primarily used for servers. It allows applications to access more than 2GB of RAM (Including Virtual Memory). The only drawback is that Windows can only use 1 GB of memory to load drivers and things.

Windows Vista no longer uses the BOOT.INI file, so there is a different method for setting the "3GB" switch which enables to use more than 2GB of RAM for applications in 32-bit Windows.

Use the BCDedit.exe tool (Boot Configuration Data Editor). The 3GB RAM mode can be enabled by the command:

bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 2560

and disabled by the command:

bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa

Run this command from a command window with Administrator priviledge - i.e. (in the Start menu) type CMD and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter, or select "Command Prompt" (Accessories), right-click on it and choose "Run as Administrator".

Restart your PC after this change.
