renvet64 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm unable to launch Renegade X if steam is running in the backround. If I click "Start In Game Menu" while steam is running, I get an immediate crash stating "BUILT WITH UDK has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Simply closing steam alleviates the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afevis Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 What's your steam version? PC specs? A little bit more info is needed to figure out why it's not working for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this; You can try increasing the amount of memory Windows makes available.Startup Crash on Windows 32bit only:On Windows 7, 8, or Server 2013: 1.)Run command prompt as admin. 2.)Type in "BCDEdit /Set IncreaseUserVA 3072" On Windows XP: 1.) Find and edit Boot.ini (Instructions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022) 2.) Look for the line that says "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="WindowsXP, ...." 3.) Add "/3GB" to the end of this line As an example, it might look like this: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Enterprise" /fastdetect /3GB Make sure you restart after changing the settings. You can also find a bit more info on the subject over here; viewtopic.php?f=34&t=72024 From what I can tell, the game is having issues with 32bit OS's due to memory limitations. XFX HD6570 2gb gddr3 128-bit Having a video card with 2GB vram on a 32 bit OS isn't a really good thing. If at all possible, I'd recommend you upgrade to a 64bit OS (you should be able to with that CPU). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renvet64 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Adding that /3gb switch to the boot.ini made the computer extremely sluggish, even at the desktop with nothing running. I'll get a 64-bit os eventually, but right now cannot afford one. Like I said though, when I close steam the game launches and runs fine. Why do the minimum requirements state Windows XP and 2gb of ram if thats the case? Did they not test the system requirements? All of my video settings are on the absolute minimum.

Afevis Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Windows XP is available in a 64bit version... just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renvet64 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Isn't the difference in that a 32-bit system can allocate 2 gb of ram per application and a 64-bit system can allocate 4gb per application?, so wouldn't that mean 2gb of ram is still 2gb of ram regardless? maybe i'm not understanding correctly or missing something. Anyway thanks for trying to help I'm guessing theres no fix atm. I'd also be interested to hear if anyone is running this without issues on a system with only 2gb of ram?
