Out of Memory Error

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.
