**** 32bit fix only ****

First off, don't shoot the messenger, I found this "fix" by looking round and trying everything out I could, this has worked for me so far.

I was getting a sound loop then completely frozen screen between 1 and 5 minutes into every game after the patch, very few problems before.

My specs: Windows7 32bit, HD6870 (stock), E8500@3.8ghz

Hope this helps, please let us know if it does.

Fix:

Windows 7/Windows Vista
* In Windows 7/Vista go to Start menu. Go to Accessories. Locate the command prompt shortcut and hover mouse over it. Right Click on the shortcut then select Run as Administrator.
* In the command prompt type this exactly:

bcdedit /set increaseuserva 2500

Then hit enter.
* Make sure you get a message back confirming the change was made. To verify the entry is there you can type just bcdedit, hit enter, and you should see the entry now listed.
* Then close the command prompt. You just told Vista to increase user virtual address (userva) space to 2500MB.
* Changes take effect on reboot.
Now reboot the PC because Windows needs to set the userva at 2500 which only happens after startup.

If you skip any step it will not work. When you have rebooted you should be good to go. Run the game as normal with the original game shortcut.

TO UNDO THE CHANGES
Open command prompt as administrator and type: bcdedit /deletevalue increaseuserva. That deletes the entry.
Reboot and you are back to normal.

  • The alternative way to fix the crash is just to set graphic settings to medium.
