Error: "The memory could not be "read"" ??? | Forums

[vhalinor]

Every time i end the "Swamp" level, and the nuke gets to the gate the game just stops at the time when the screen goes black to start loading.
This is the only place in the game that this happens.

The first time I got to that point the game loaded but the textures like trees etc was like big white cubes... after that i Get the same error message:

What is wrong? I have a MUCH longer "logg" version but I dont know if that will help if you take a look at it?

My guess is loss of RAM.

The Biggest English Far Cry Fansite Around!

[JoeKozy]

I have a similar error (except at 0x00000000) just after the intro, so consider yourself lucky that you can actually play the earlier levels. Many people have posted with similar errors but as yet no-one has worked out how to fix it, you generally get replies from people saying they have the same problem (like this one).
It isn't RAM because the game works on my brothers PC, so i tried his RAM in my PC but still had the same problem.

[vhalinor]

If 1000+ ram isent enough Im a Trident...

[johnnyamerika2]

Err.... here's a me too!

I've been going back and forth with Ubi tech support via e-mail, and all they've had to offer on the problem is standard generated e-mails telling me to make sure my video driver is up to date and such. Grr.... wish they would just admit they need to work on this memory issue.

[T.W.A.T.]

Well I too got this error towards the end of the game. Here's how I fixed it....reedited .cfg from OpenGL back to direct3d9. Now works fine. If you have been using the OpenGL rendering then try it.

[Chongablonga]

Yo, how did you let FC use your second processor? I have two and FC sees this but says only one is available. If one processor get bogged down I don't want FC waiting around when there's another processor sitting there doing nothing :O

[blackeangle]

I got many Memory could not be read error, may be just the game's problem
