Phasmophobia

[littlemrsfiedler]

When I try to load up the phasmophobia game I have only gotten to 26% and then the error message pops up say "VirtualAlloc remapping failed" I need to know how to fix it. It is the only game I am downloading on here and I need to get it to work. What do I need to do to fix it

Why are you on the Kerbal Space Programs forum asking for help for a completely unrelated game? Take it up with the support team on whatever system you’re trying to download it through (e.g. Steam).

Welcome to the forum @littlemrsfiedler, your question has been moved from tech support to the lounge as it is not about KSP. One thing you might try is verifying the game files if you have the steam version.

It seems like the error is due to something involving RAM and/or a paging file from what a second or two of googling revealed. Among other pages, a post on the Escape From Tarkov Reddit thread recommended to increase the paging file size.

Following these steps may alleviate the error: 

1. Workaround

   1. To work around this issue, manually configure the size of the page file. To do this, follow these steps:

   2. Press the Windows logo key + the Pause/Break key to open System Properties.

   3. Select Advanced system settings and then select Settings in the Performance section on the Advanced tab.

   4. Select the Advanced tab, and then select Change in the Virtual memory section.

   5. Clear the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives check box.

   6. Select Custom size, and then set the "Initial size" and "Maximum size" values for the paging file. We recommend that you set the initial size to 1.5 times the amount of RAM in the system.

   7. Select OK to apply the settings, and then restart the system. If you continue to receive "out-of-memory" error messages, increase the "initial size" of the page file
