Hi all, been having issues with WOT where the game crashes. Been over it multiple times and there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the game, PC or internet connections. I keep getting the error "please wait" and of course it crashes or freezes .. now I read that page file size can cause this. I've never set mine and never thought to either. Does anybody know the correct size to set.
I use "C" drive for win10
I use "D" drive for software
I use "E" drive for storage
All are 1tb in size

Win10 x64
16gb ram

at present my page file size is 16mb minimum, 2934 recommended and 2432 actual .. I don't know what any of this means either ...
 
ok .. didn't have any page file control on "D" drive. Turned it on and increased both "C" and "D" drives to the recommended 2934 and increased initial to 810 (it states that below this number windows cannot record errors) .. OMFG !!!!!!!!!! the difference !!!!!!!!!!! seriously .. will/could this cause any damage to my machine? Why isn't this more widely known or is it that I've never thought of doing/checking it ... way faster in every way .. must be because I'm using "D" for running/storing applications is it ??
 
so does that mean that some software was being throttled/crashed due to it not being set high enough? It's obviously sped things up .. is there any harm in running like this?
 
i have set each HDD to 810mb initial and 8192mb max .. the difference is staggering .. I am able to load photos from my storage drive with thumbnails .. I don't have to wait for them to load .. photo editing software is instantaneous .. fantastic ..
