Storage: 500GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVME M.2 (Boot drive), Samsung 2TB 870 QVO SATA3 2.5' SSDĪ couple of things worth noting: My brother has the EXACT same system as me (we had them built together), and he does not receive this issue when we use the same game, same mods in the same build order. Page File: 8395MB used, 11497MB available Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor (24 CPUs), ~3.8GHz System Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Language: English (Regional Setting: English) Increased paging file size to 24GB initial, 48GB maximum (NOTE:- I ran the performance monitor during the crash and the page file is barely even used (0.3%) so it's definitely not this).Įnsured there was enough space on the SSD (1.3TB free space remaining).Ĭhecked resource monitor during crash to see if it was a RAM leak, but the amount used always sat at 2GB. Installed mod locally rather than subscribed through Steam workshop Verified integrity of game files through Steam I appreciate that it is likely the mod itself, but the modding community has been of little help and it is now getting very frustrating given that less than 1% of users seem this get this problem. 90% of the time, this happens during loading into a big battle or out of a big battle, but then 10% of the time it happens if I leave the game idle on the campaign screen. Now with my new system, I am guaranteed to get a crash to desktop with the exact error: 'VirtualAlloc (at place 2) returned NULL!'. I used to play this all the time with my old battered system with no issues whatsoever. I have recently bought a new gaming PC, and was excited to play one of my favourite games: Total War: Rome 2, which I play with a specific overhaul mod called Divide et Impera.
