can't launch the game post reformat
Hi,
I have had a long break in gaming and I recently formatted my PC and installed win 10 with the prospect of starting gaming again. So I installed the steam and WFTO but the game won't load - the loading screen will go up to 2/3 and then won't do anything, if I click it says not responding. I have turned anti viral software off, but still nothing. I also downloaded LOTRO via Steam just to ensure things work in general and this works alright. Would you be able to help me please?
Hi Kesperel,
The device specifications you have posted above shows 3GB usable RAM which is below the minimum requirements of War for the Overworld. System Requirements.
This is most certainly the reason you are running out of Memory, in addition you are running a 32-bit version of Windows which is likely the reason for the 3GB cap. I would recommend upgrading your OS to a 64-bit version to make use of the full RAM capacity of your system.
However I would note that even with the ability to use the full 4GB you would fall below recommended requirements and it is possible in this case you will encounter out of memory errors in busy scenes.
If you were playing previously on this computer before the reformat it would seem to be the case that you previously had a 64-bit OS installed that allowed this.
Good luck,
Lee
