loading new area bug and crash

happened when loading the cathedral of bones lvl1



I have all the time the "run out of memory" error, but this is the first time it really mentioned something extra. I thought it was worth noting.

let me know if you need computer stats.

If you're frequently getting a "E_OUTOFMEMORY" error when changing areas, you can put -gc 2 at the end of your Path of Exile shortcut (Open the shortcut properties, and add a { -gc 2} after the last quotation mark). If this still doesn't help, try -gc 1. Doing this will increase load times between areas you have visited, and similar areas.

Edit: The problem is, that PoE consumes quite a lot resources. When the game can't find a chunk of memory that is large enough to fit an area, it will crash with a E_OUTOFMEMORY error. This can happen anywhere and will more likely happen if you change area's a lot. If you don't have much memory in your computer, I suggest closing all other programs. If that is already the case and you still get these errors, you can try Rory's suggestion above.
