Index of virtual memory too low

by Isaac Barbosa · in Torque Game Builder · 08/25/2007 (11:50 am) · 1 replies

I'm having a problem with my computer. At some point is showa windows balloon sayng that "Index of virtual memory is too low".

That's affect indeed al of my programs performance including TGB that for now is working at its poorest point :( Too slow, mouse lag, crash....

But is not only TGB, any other open program runs slow and I don't know what to do or why is this happening.

Has somebody faced this problem? A possible solution? It has to do with TGB?

I have searched for viruses on my machine (no viruses founded).

I have reinstalled TGB.

And the problem persists.

Thanks for the help provided to fix this issue.

This means that you do not have enough RAM (if you don't use resources to only have the art visible in TGB that you need, you will get a massive RAM footprint! remind, 256x256 of image data = 1MB RAM) and to make it worse, you do not even have enough hard disk space from what it seems to swap out the flooded RAM to harddisk (which btw is the reason it becomes that slow)


I suggest that you start using resources and swap them in and out of your project as you need them to work with them ... or that you drop the editor at all and work with an own one or with the datablock files and level files ...
