Patch Notes and PC System Specs

8GB DDR3. it's been a good four and a half with this laptop, might be a good time for upgrade.. oh, and when moving to next planet, I got better performance. I guess Eos isn't for me.

So, I have huge problem. Every time I click the play button in Origin nothing happens. The game shows up briefly in task manager but other than that nothing happens. I have tried every solution in this thread ( answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Mass-Effect-Andromeda-won-t-launch-PC/td-p/5941052 ) but nothing seems to work. It's driving me crazy. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Stuck in an infinite loop at the Kett base. Invisible enemies, endlessly spawning enemies. The alarms don't turn off and when they do they reset so you're pushing the same four buttons over and over again till you run out of luck.

For sone reason it made three saves in the same place so I have to dump about 4 hours of gameplay to get out of it.

Help?

AMD Athlon 840 quad core
AMD R7 200 series graphics card
4GB RAM
...I know that everything is below minimum system requirements, but it could run TW3 pretty decently in 900p, so I was hoping that it could run Andromeda at least on lowest settings.

I have the same amount, haven't experienced anything resembling a memory leak, but Eos is pretty complicated performance wise for me too. I said earlier it can get to 40 fps or all the way up to 140 fps depending in which area you're at, all of that mostly on ultra settings. Optimization for this game isn't the best, I can tell you that.

Not experienced a memory leak, but then my play time is generally 2-3 hour chunks and I've got 16gb ram.

Definitively agree about the upgrade part, but what baffles me the most is that someone else also had this problem and he had an high-end PC (GTX 1060, 16GB RAM, i7 processor).

What are your graphics settings? Try lowering texture quality, as this is what takes most VRAM.

I'll try this new card on lowest settings (I had upped the quality on my new card some since it can theoretically handle it), but if 2 GB is minimum, I shouldn't be hitting 4 GB in under a 1 minute of play.

Edit: Nope, still crashed. Will try seeing if I can figure out how to clear virtual memory without breaking things.

But if it was so bad that it will fill up in under 1 minute of play on low settings, why am I not experiencing this issue in Mass Effect 3 after extended play?

This SAME error happened on my old card, which had a lower amount of RAM and I've played a few games for hours on end on that card without this error message:

MET
Sims 2
Sims 3 (which is graphics intensive)
Sims 4
Guild Wars 2

None of the above were played on lowest settings either.

That's what I'm not getting.

And I'm having no luck finding anything on how to manually clean the virtual memory that looks like it's a reliable resource. Do you happen to know of a good source for steps on how to do that?

Edit: If I can't find a reliable source online or the instructions look too complicated for me, I have no shame in asking others for their opinion on the issue and to help me clear it out if they agree or if I think it's worth a try to try it anyway. I custom built the computer with the help of my brother so worse case scenario, I back everything up before I try and if it fails, start fresh.

Well, it's entirely possible that you've got a couple of those gaming things on your swap partition.  And now, it just won't let anything else go on there.

And I've only had to do it like once, and I was scratching my head at a couple'a those commands.  In fact, almost all of them.  So, I wouldn't recommend it for anybody else except for a trained professional.  And that was when I had to upgrade Win 7 to Win10.

Yep.

Trying to look up the page that I had before, but it's gonna be difficult to find. Can't recall the error.

This should work, but this is about increasing the size of the swap file, not cleaning it.
