Yes, start by reducing the Planet Detail and Graphics Detail settings to 'Low' in the Options menu. Then to troubleshoot and solve the problem, try the steps here: http://www.starwraith.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6595

Yeah reduced the settings to low and i tried all the trouble shooting steps in that thread but i keep failling at 100%. It says that my available memory is 5.12 gigs so that though be enough =/.

Did you read that post though? It isn't necessarily how much memory is available, but how much -consecutive- memory is available, If something is slicing your memory up in the background and blocking portions of it, then the game won't be able to access what it needs to load the media. You've got to be close though at 100%, so it should be pretty easy to fix. It could also be a display/driver issue when at 100%, so if you'd like me to take a look at your configuration for possible causes, follow the steps here: http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmercenary/faq.htm#8

Hi Olebull1, welcome to the game and forum!...Hope to see you out there some time once you get it working!...

Try what Vice suggests first and then try the following:

What are your System Specs? Did you try Vice's consecutive memory test and if so what where the results?
If it failed the memory test try the Large Address Aware or the 4GPatcher to set the Executive file flag to use more then the 2 Gigabyte flag set for 32bit Systems!....
