PlanetSide 2 Forum

Hi my planetside 2 crashes to desktop without error messages in 20-30 minutes of gameplay, randomly it crashes and mostly when I die.
I thought it might be the error with 32 bit windows wrapper, got program called cff explorer. This helped me solve the problem with crashes in another game. I Allowed planetside2.exe use more than 2 gigs of ram but that still didn't help. I use Mac and crossover 14.0.3
Does anybody else has this problem?
Please help

i found how ti fix it for windows but is there a way to do that on mac?
it is called crash fix for 32 bit system

I guess the Windows workaround comes down to setting the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag on the .exe file. The same technique should work inside CrossOver as well, if the crash is related to address space exhaustion. The instability may result from a different problem though.

I have the same problem but for me the game wont even start.. is there a way to fix this??

Hello!
i am very sure it is because of memory exhaustion because it crashes exactly like the other game i had.
but the thing is that i fixed that game making it allow use 2 gb address because it is 32bit game. i did same thing with planetside 2 but every time i launch the game, planetside 2 removes that change by itself so it should work but it just changes it to what it was before.
is there a way to make it use the setting i changed inside the game?
on windows, they said that you also need to allocate memory to the game, here is the command: Open command prompt and then write bcd edit /set IncreaseUserVA 3072.
this fixes windows 32 bit error but is there a similar way to do it on mac
thank you for helping me!

you said program sets image large address aware flag, how to remove it then?

If the game undoes the change it probably does so for a good reason.

the same thing i thought, but all windows users with 32 bit systems had to allow 2 gb addresses because game company didn't bother to do it themselves
if i do all to fix it like let the game launcher to check files, then i do address thing but game still crashes?
maybe there is something similar to 2gb address that makes the game crash?
