I've tested the memory and found nothing erroring with it, and everything else runs correctly, but Renegade now crashes after a half-hour or so with a crashdump message of

"Exception occured at xxxx .text:xxxx (game2.exe)
The Renegade Client tried to write to address xxxx .text:xxxx (game2.exe)"

There is much more in the dump file, but this is the section that changes with each writing. I'm going to reinstall Renegade, the patches, and the Renguard client and cp2 later, but if there is a quick fix I can use before this, I would be happy to know of it.

Thanks for perusing this... Blush

Does anyone else here have 2 gigs of RAM? After I upgraded to this amount, I began to have crash issues with Renegade.

I upgraded to 2 GB of RAM (4 512MB sticks, 2 sticks from one company, and 2 from another) at some point, and I haven't had any problems. However, I don't run any core patches or RenGuard, so I don't have the same situation you do. Sorry Sad

I would never have thought MORE ram could cause problems with applications... perhaps it is something else you changed that happened to be around the same time as the ram upgrade?

Are they all the same brand/model? Some brands are known to not work well with each other for some reason.

Some motherboards can't detect their max capicity and this -might- be a problem. IE; if you are using as much memory as this motherboard can take, then that maybe an issue.

Do use only one brand, it helps.


Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Actually, it is all one brand, and I ran a test on it, to see if the memory had any errors, but the test passed it as fine. Renegade is the only program that is crashing on me. It crashes after awhile, even when running practice mode. I'm going to look for video card issues as well...

Upload the crashdump so we can have a look.

Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.

Me neither, but I read halflife had the same problem when you
have more than 4 gig of ram Satisfied but they fixed it.

However, I think in this case it's a third party tool, like
renguard or custom scripts.dll, which causes Renegade to crash.


When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"
