Program keeps shutting itself down

[lianzim]

It started last night, I was able to play fine for a couple hours, then suddenly Fiesta simply closed on me. I tried several times to reconnect but soon as I logged back in and my character popped up in town or whatever I'd get maybe a step before it crashed again. This morning I tried again and was able to play for a couple hours before experiencing the same problem. I have tried rebooting but it didn't help, any ideas?

The same thing keeps happening to me. Sometimes I get an error message though. It says 'buffer overrun error has caused a critical error in the program." or something like that. Perhaps the same thing is happening to you?

[lianzim]

See I wondered if that was it, I just started getting those buffer overrun messages yesterday as well but they weren't showing up all the time, the game would just shut down. It may be that error, just no message pops up.

This issue is steming from your PC resources. Please make aure you are within the minmum system requirements. Also please close down all programs that maybe running in the back ground. If your system crashes the memory allocation may have been maxed out.

The buffer over run issue is the same... System resources are max out, and can no longer run the game.

my computer is well over the minimum requirements, and over or equal to all of the recommended requirements, but I still have the same problem where the client will randomly close (my comp doesn't crash and I've never seen the buffer overrun error). Furthermore, I never have anything else running at the same time, and the game doesn't lag just before it closes either, you'd think that if it is max'ing my resources it would start to slow down...

I think it may related to how much space you have on the computer.
Like if you have less than a Gigabyte left though I would suggest more than a Gigabyte to run games.
Also changing the paging size a little might help.

like I said, my system (including available HD space) is over the minimum and recommended requirements. I have well over 100GB of free space...

[FatalIncision]

It has also been happening to me as of recent. Program just shuts off. Same as stated above. System meets the min requirement and then some. It's good to know that it isn't happening to just me. Perhaps it's not the computers?

[Danipants]

it kind of reminds me of the handler errors I would get when I ran my own RO server, which happened when a file was missing... just a thought

What about paging size?
(had to change the paging for my bro at one time for a game even though he had enough gb to run the game)

again, well over the min requirements, equal to the recommended requirements

Have you tried upping the amount of pagging just a little and did it still do the same things?

Edit:
or turning it off if you run over 2 gigs of ram?

[Danipants]

if the min is 512mb and recommended 1gb, you shouldnt need 2gb >.> in my eyes, this is a bug or a problem and should either be fixed or the min/recommended requirements changed

[ningyougeki]

The thread about this already exists, in which people have already said it's not because of the lack of RAM/free space on HD/CPU/GPU/whatsoever (http://outspark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18292).

I noticed this problem myself while in Roumen; only place where I or my flatmate have yet realized it to happen. I can't be sure, but after seeing Roumen yesterday (over 6/7 less people than ever before) I could say many other people have this same problem (there's also many players on the other threads pointing out the fact the overrun happens only in Roumen and nowhere else).

Murdock, I see you're doing some fine job there, but could someone still take a closer look and check if there's something to do about the problem? Some people are even stuck in Roumen right now, since they have no return scrolls/don't have time to even open their inventory before the error occures and the program closes.

Also, as far as I know, buffer overrun is something which can cause some serious damage to the program or, in the worst possible case, to the whole system using it.

No we are thinking of two different things then.
(I already figured we were X_X)

Right click on "My computer" and click on properties if its on your desktop or as a few alt ways to get there would be right click on start > explore (or windows key + E)
Or press the windows key + R type in sysdm.cpl in the prompt and enter.

Once you get to it either way click on the advance tab then click settings in the performance section.
Once in the performance section go down to the Virtual Memory section click on change.

Change the initial size to a little bit more.
(Technically its a good idea to up this if you use programs that use up a lot of memory but either way your right it shouldn't be a problem.)

I just tried this, myself, and I still got the buffer overrun message. It seems to happen most often while vending in a high traffic area of roumen like th blacksmith (where all the goldbuy spammers are at). I had a buy shop open down the path to the gates all night with no error, but the second I tried to open an elrue shop 10 feet from the blacksmith, I got a buffer overrun message.

I may not have a top notch computer, but I've been running World of Warcraft on my computer for 2 years now... somehow I don't think that Fiesta requires higher stats than WoW, that it's going to crash my game just because of it.
