Game memory errors, A problem that will only plague PC players of GTA V, <\/a>will stop your Los Santos experience right in its tracks with the game not launching due to this error. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll go over what the crash actually is and some solutions to fixing it in this simple guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read:<\/strong> How to Detonate Sticky Bombs In GTA 5<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n This error is defined with the message \u201cGame memory error. Please make an attempt restart the game\u201d when trying to launch GTA V on PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The error heading is most commonly seen as \u201cERR_MEM_MULTIALLOC_FREE\u201d, although this has been known to vary in certain cases on specific PCs. This signals the memory has encountered some kind of error or has reached maximum capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re playing the standard experience of the game, this won\u2019t appear for you. This will only pop up if you\u2019ve installed any mods, as it’s the mods that are the usual culprits that cause this to happen. That said, there can be external issues and fringe cases that cause this but it\u2019s often an issue related to installing a mod or add-on content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The general issues are that the mods have had a memory leak or they\u2019re coming up against certain settings on your computer that conflict with something contained in the mod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Game Memory Crash can be caused by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a few avenues to explore to break through this technical barricade:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Power Cycle<\/strong> – A standard and universal IT fix, shutting your system down and restarting is more often than not the first port of call. Be sure to shut your system down completely, remove the power supply from desktops and batteries from laptops to get all the charge out, and wait a good 5 minutes before rebooting your hardware<\/p>\n\n\n\n GameConfig<\/strong> – Going back to the issue with mods, this can occur due to the Game config file not being compatible. Head to GTA5 Mods, search for \u201cgameconfig\u201d and look for the file titled \u201cGameconfig for Patch 1.0.877.1 1.0\u201d. Launch OPENIV (or download it then launch if you don\u2019t have it) and in the GTA V directory, search for \u201cMods > update > update.rpf > common > data<\/strong>\u201d. Click on \u201cEdit Mode<\/strong>\u201d and press Yes when told. Copy the downloaded Gameconfig from GTA5 Mods into this location and save your changes<\/p>\n\n\n\n Command Line<\/strong> – GTA V has a Command-Line to choose operations on startup. Go into the root of your GTA V installation directory and look for a text file called \u201ccommandline.txt\u201d. If it doesn\u2019t exist, right-click and choose \u201cNew > Text Document\u201d. With the command line open, search for \u201c-ignoreDifferentVideoCard\u201d, delete this line, and save. Finally, restart your PC<\/p>\n\n\n\n Changing DirectX<\/strong> – Oddly, DirectX 11 can be the guilty party. Changing to DirectX 10.1 with no MSAA can sort this out. Open the GTA V Menu and go to \u201cGraphics > DirectX Version<\/strong>\u201d. Select the 10.1 version and alter the MSAA. Restart your PC and launch the game to see if this is the fix<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reinstall<\/strong> – As a last resort, you can uninstall the game to clear everything off and reinstall the game fresh. Be sure to uninstall the Rockstar Games Social Club and Grand Theft Auto V<\/a> to get rid of everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For some more solutions and additional details, If these tips still don’t help fix your GTA 5 Memory erros, appuals.com<\/a> has a great guide with more detailed solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is a Game Memory Crash?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
