Ami89E1234 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hmm. That's weird. Shouldn't know any reason why a game wouldn't detect your RAM.Which may be possible is that all your RAM is taken by a suspicious piece of software (Trojans use to do that).If you open your Task Manager, it shows a green symbol showing your Memory Usage. Try it once, if that is too high, check why that is.Well I usually have several other things running as well but I already checked Task Manager. Even with everything, less than 30% of my total Physical Memory was being used and like 5% of my CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swatlord Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'm not 100% sure here, but let me ask you this:What's the format of your RAM?If it's a more modern format, the game might not know how to handle more advanced RAM and therefor may think there isn't any at all. My theory anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's SATA-II but I'm not sure (is that RAM lol?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These may cause problems because the way they handle memory is different at each format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ami89E1234 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hmm that's what I thought. Well the RAM specs must be on the third sheet (which I can't find) so the only other thing I found even close was Nero but that's not it I think.

Open the start menu2. Click Run...3. Type 'msconfig' and hit ENTER4. Look for the Boot tab (this should be the 2nd tab from the left)5. Click Advanced Options...6. Tick the box beside Maximum Memory and set the number to a high amount (I set mine to 4096)7. Reboot and run Zoo Tycoon 2 againorThis error was the same that I had. Basically there is a known issue with the game and all expansion packs prior to African Adventure; it will not recognize your ram if it is above 2GB.The only solution (because M$ never made a patch to fix it) is to buy the Ultimate box or the African Adventure expansion.Both solutions appeared to be for Vista 64-bit, but I suppose it could apply to W7 users too.

hunter42 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Recently bought GTA:Chinatown wars on iPod. I think it's totally worth £5.99 although I can't stop doing drug runs lol. Only done about 5 missions Gonna start playing Need for Speed Carbon again, and try to unpack the game to retexture the police cars (might not bother tbh, better off doing reskins in EM4 really).Bought the collectors edition too and I really don't know what the 4 unique cars are that are available to me lol off topic: I just clicked on Ami's support banner about the parade thing and now i really want a bandwich Except for that horrible rabbit food coming out the bottom, and the tomatoes, it's perfect. Now I just need to go to St.Louis and get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ami89E1234 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 LOL Bandwiches are amazing. They're better with lettuce/tomatoes :tongue:Which reminds me, orders are due on Monday... guess I'm not gonna meet my goal of selling 150. Maybe next time. I haz brilliant marketing strategy.If you really want one, I wouldn't charge you for it, but you'd have to pay for shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Kaizer Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'm a huge fan of the Total War series. Only one I don't have is Medieval: Total War, the expansion for Shogun and the expansion to Empire: Total War.I also love the Silent Hunter series. I have 3 and 4 on my computer. Ubisoft screwed up with the DRM for SH5, so I haven't gotten that yet. Yay for companies driving legal owners of their games to download cracks to make the game playable! I have that problem with GTA: IV as well. For the life of me I can't get Securlauncher or whatever it's called to work. I've tried every fix out there (there were some problems with Visual Basic and NET Framework, but I tried everything). It worked fine on my old XP rig. Too bad really, I wanted to try out the LCPD: First Response mod, where you play as the police.Anywho, I really don't play games for very long I loose interest and find a new one. Then I pick it up a few months later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aitor Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Lately I´m playing World in Conflict , I think that is one of the best games; I play Assassins creed II and Bad Company 2 multiplayer. I have Silent Hunter III and I want buy Silent Hunter 5 and Tom Clancy´s Hawx 2. I have GTA 4 but It doesn´t work because I think that I need Service Pack 3. I have Search and Rescue, some Lego games...Finally I have the new Medal of Honor and today I´ll install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion you should wait with SH5 until Ubisoft releases a patch that takes away the DRM. As it is now you have to be connected to the Ubisoft server to play, and alot of people are having problems with that. The games just stops as you're playing because it's lost the connection with Ubisoft, and you have to save and restart the damn thing first.

aitor Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Thanks, so I will wait for SH6. Ubisoft announced it will be in the Cold War and it will be released in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aitor Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 chrisblaalid, if you like jumping from buildings you should play assassins creed, I really liked climbing buildings and jumping from there, but I'd say that the game went worse from 3rd And I like ships so I want to get ship simulator extremes, I only have the demo...
