On the 13th of the this month I had successfully downloaded, installed and played SMITE, being able to complete the tutorial only (without any problems) before logging out since that was all I had time for. The next day, I come home and try to launch SMITE. However, after pressing the green PLAY button in the launcher, the only thing that popped up was the "Hi-Rez Studios" banner and nothing else - it just sat there and did nothing with the banner. So after this I decided to open the icon's properties and run it as administrator - that didn't work either. I also ran it in compatibility mode for Windows 7, with the same unfortunate results. Aside from a frozen banner, I would also get the occasional crash report message popup after the program .exe "stopped working" according to Windows 7. The message said that I ran out of visual memory and to fix this I would have to clear up some space in my primary hard disk (C) - strangely enough, there is 16.1 GB remaining....

In addition, I have completely re-downloaded and installed this game twice, and ran the pre-reqs multiple times. My computer should handle it because it did on max settings with at least 45 fps when I played tutorial, so it cant possibly be hardware related (and yes I have up-to-date drivers). Please help! I want to play this badass game, and I havent yet :(

Hey Deuce,

Welcome to the forums.

First off - Virtual Memory is not the same as the memory located on your hard disk (or, to what it's usually binded to, C://).
Virtual memory usually is the hard drive space allotted to the operating system for use when RAM is full or almost full to handle larger files and processes.

Since this is a RAM related issue (probably indirectly, I doubt your RAM is really the one at fault here). I would like to know your specs.

Secondly, see if you did any changes to your system in between the two days. A bad/unsupporting GPU Driver can very commonly cause this issue also. You might want to consider down/upgrading your driver.

ps: Interesting read about your issue - if I don't respond fast and you can't play SMITE, you might as well educate yourself a little, right? http://www.windowsanswers.net/articles/fix-virtual-memory but don't download the the file they recommend at the end, it's usually trashware that's only half useful.
That's just my 2 cents.






Oy! Give me some privacy.
Thiel

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
