Tresan Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Is this a client issue or do I need to do something with my laptop? If I run the game in windowed mode and try to surf the web at the same time, my laptop crashes from too much memory usage. Edit: for clarification, I am running Windows 7 64bit on a Sony Vaio. 2 years old. Edited February 2, 2012 by Tresan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neloth Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I'd say you need more RAM Or close all other open programs at least and re-enable that page file, it's handy some times Edited February 2, 2012 by Neloth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zDracor Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Happens to me as well. Never did in beta, ram use just climbs, and climbs till it crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadlyjackal Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm running Windows 7 64bit. Upgrade to at least 8 GB of RAM, it is cheap as biscuits nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresan Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Again, it's a laptop, and unfortunately I'm not tech smart enough to rip it apart and see if I can install better RAM chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkhosis Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Again, it's a laptop, and unfortunately I'm not tech smart enough to rip it apart and see if I can install better RAM chips. If you're running Win32 then you can only install 4g max. Need 64 bit to go any further. You're multi tasking on something not even made for gaming... Can't really expect performance.

darkkterror Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Again, it's a laptop, and unfortunately I'm not tech smart enough to rip it apart and see if I can install better RAM chips. Flip it over, unscrew the cover, add RAM modules, ???, profit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mashy Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Download gamebooster. It's great for closing all the rubbish you don't need while gaming and freeing up memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptured Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Is this a client issue or do I need to do something with my laptop? If I run the game in windowed mode and try to surf the web at the same time, my laptop crashes from too much memory usage. I went out and grabbed up 8 gigs of ram... I had 4 gigs before and with swtor running I was using 98% of all my ram. So through away those 4 gigs and bought a 8 gig pack. I don't trust mixing and matching ram.
