Something you should know about the "32bit less than 4gb crash"

Hi there!

Thank you for posting this issue. This Error message is usually in relation to a lack of available physical memory (as covered, 32bit OS max capacity is 4GB), or corruption within the game files. The best approach is to perform a Pack check as detailed here, then to proceed to add a parameter to the launch client.

In particular it may help to add "-gc 2" to the end of your Path of Exile shortcut target location if you're playing on the standalone client (It should look like this: "C:\Program Files\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile\Client.exe" -gc 2), or your Launch Options if you're using the Steam Client. More info here.

-gc 2 is garbage collection, it cleans out some stuff from your RAM each time you change area.
It does not prevent the error from occurring but it can slow it down enough so you may not see it during normal play.

I hope this information helps!
