Fallout: New Vegas crashing fix (Windows XP)
Posted: Wed Sep 01, 2010 8:52 pm
I recently purchased Starcraft II and was having performance issues in game due to my computer running out of "paged pool memory." I ran the fix found at this link on the Team Liquid forums http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=113433 and it corrected the error for SC2. The next time I booted up Fallout: New Vegas I was no longer crashing to the desktop after a time ranging from 10 to 30 minutes of play. The error causing New Vegas to crash for me was apparently a lack of paged pool memory being allocated by Windows XP. All of my other attempts to fix the crashing issues did not work. My computer was using about 230,000 K of paged pool memory, a heavy portion of which was being used up by anti-virus. I updated my paged pool memory to 368k using the link posted above and have not had a crash playing Fallout: New Vegas since. I hope this helps out some more people playing NV at least on windows XP; it really is a great game when the bugs aren't killing the experience.
