You need to save the TXT file and upload that or paste it here so I can see it fully.

There are a few things you can do to minimize the crashing, but in the end everyone will crash. There has been a memory leak issue since open beta (almost 5 yrs ago) that still has not been fixed. Most people have gotten to the point of just knowing when to expect crashes and dealing with them. The older your computer, the better off you'll be.

hakanpacal:

A good portion of your problem is this:

---------------
Display Devices
---------------
Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip type: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
DAC type: Internal
Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0116&SUBSYS_05041025&REV_09
Display Memory: 2695 MB
Dedicated Memory: 977 MB
Shared Memory: 1717 MB

You have a video chipset which isn't really very good for gaming. Intel will argue this, but they're full of wishful thinking.

While you do have close to 1GB of dedicated VRAM, the Intel Chipset is designed to "borrow" as much of your system RAM as it can. And it does. The problem here is that the more system RAM it borrows so it can render graphics, the less system RAM you have available for running applications.

The RoM client needs approximately 2GB of system RAM. With all the other applications you may have running in the background, along with the system RAM required by Windows, you're simply running out of RAM and resources.

There's no easy and sure fix for this. What you CAN do is once you're in game, reduce all of your game video settings to the minimums, or close to the minimums. Uncheck (disable) ALL of the special effects. Then save the settings and relog.

This will not eliminate crashes, but it should help to mitigate them.

Yes, for some strange reason if you're running Full screen and Alt-Tab too many times, RoM will crash. What I do to get around this (which also helps the crashing a bit) is to play Windowed and just double click the title window to expand to fit the screen. Alt-tabbing would be possible without crashing then.
