Good Day all,
I have found a remedy after a week of constant crashing.
Similarly to all frustrated players, I have experienced the OOM or “out of memory” since the launch of heart of thorns.
DO NOTE THAT THIS SOLUTION IS FOR 32BITS.
I am running Windows 10 for this.
I believe it will also work for vista/ windows 8

Basic steps:
1. Right-click Command Prompt in the Accessories program group of the Start menu.
2. Click Run as Administrator.
3. At the command prompt,
4. enter “bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072”
5. Restart the computer.
To disable the 3GB switch:
1. Right-click on Command Prompt in the Accessories program group of the Start menu. Click Run as Administrator.
2. At the command prompt,
3. enter “bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa”
4. Restart the computer.
I tried that 8 years ago when i had constant OOM crashes in Age of Conan and it
just totally messed up my graphics.
In the end i installed Vista-64 … and never looked back. Microsoft should haved
stopped bringinng out 32-Bit systems already with Win-7.
And just as Info, if your Windows Key is original from Microsoft you can install
the 64-Bit version with the same key. Just download an ISO for free at MS, burn
a DVD, and install it.
