Hello

In Command and Conquer 3 after about 5-10 minutes of play it crashes to the desktop with this error :-

Direct3D error 0x0x8007000e (E_OUTOFMEMORY) 31 addresses
unknown)(0): cnc3game.dat+36052 (unknown)
etc
etc

I've googled it and there are a few pages about it, not just in C&C3 but in other games. Some say its EA's fault, some say its Nvidia's fault. Thing is I've not changed my setup or installed anything apart from a few games.

If I play Crysis or Team Fortress 2 I can play these games for ages with no problems. Soldier of Fortune Payback plays too okay.

I've no overheating problems, my Intel Q6600 is currently running at 30c idle and my graphics card 8800GTS 320mb has a Thermalright cooler and runs fine. I ran it through 3dMark06 and it produced the above error. I was on 169.09 drivers so I put the 169.25 drivers on and 3dMark06 is fine but C&C3 still crashes with the error. My Geil memory (800mhz) is not overclocked at the moment so it can't be that. I use Driver Cleaner and uninstall drivers before installing them too.

Just wondering if my DirectX install is a bit screwed. Trouble is its not easy to sort this out, installing from MS site shows it won't update anything as its up to date.

I`m a bit stumped. Any suggestions ? :confused:
 
I did a bit more digging. I have a QUAD core and I`m using Vista 64 bit, which fully utilises all 4 cpu's methinks.

So I started C&C3, went into task manager and set the affinity for cnc3game.dat to 1 CPU and also same for cnc3.exe.

I also notice they have a *32 next to the process.

Played game again and this time it crashed to the desktop without the Direct3d error. Wonder if it is simply C&C3 does not work properly with a 64bit OS ?

Need to do more checking but I`m off out now so will have to wait....
 
Do you have the latest patch, that was a known bug in the earlier versions. (even on 32bit xp)
