[FIX] A few solutions to common problems

This is a compilation of solutions to common issues players are having with the game. The following information is based on heuristics and some rough analysis of the game internals and thus no guarantees are made.



Symptoms
Your game crashes containing one of the following terms within the error message:

"MapViewOfFile"
"E_OUTOFMEMORY"
"Map Chunk"

Cause
[ The userland address space for 32-bit processes is insufficient to map required portions of the content archive. ]

Correction: It's simply because absolutely everything is allocated on the heap...

Applies to
32-bit builds of Windows.

Solution
- Extend the userland address space using the /3GB boot switch.

Windows XP
Go to Control Panel then System
Select the Advanced then Startup and Recovery
Click the Edit button which will now open boot.ini
Edit the following line
"multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP" /fastdetect"
So that it reads
"multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP" /fastdetect /3GB"
Restart your computer.

Windows Vista or later
Open the command prompt (cmd.exe) with administrative privileges
Enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072" and hit enter.
Restart your computer

Remarks
Using the /3GB does not solve the problem however it will delay the onset.

The game's address space becomes extremely fragmented; tracing needed.

The developers have pushed a design problem that should really be solved by them onto Windows.

Symptoms
You experience a system crash containing the one the following strings:

"BugcheckCode 278"
or
"BCCode 116"

Cause
Your video card or driver has exceeded the threshold set by Windows that determines a hung device.

Applies to
Windows Vista and later (x86/x64)

Solution
- Resit your video card.
- Ensure it's physically configured properly (e.g, sufficient power supply, auxiliary power - supply is avail.)
- Lower the load on the card by reducing rendering settings (particularly resolution)
- Reduce the game's process priority to low.

- You can also disable the system responsible for raising this fault by setting/adding the following registry value

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
Value: TdrLevel
Type: DWORD
Data: 0

Remarks
This is most likely a false-positive; Windows interpreting a high latency pushing frames to the monitor due to a heavy workload as the card being hung.

Also possible is due to the number of threads utilized by the game in conjunction with poor driver implementation of reentry/synchronization; a quick check shows alot of kthread lock contention.

Thanks! I've been getting the first error a lot on act 3. I will try it and say if it worked out.

Let it be known, I take all the credit.
