Setup Pagefile

Modlists need a lot of memory, and when there is not enough available it may fail allocating more. To fix this, you'll want to have a bigger pagefile.

A pagefile is a file on your disk Windows will use when there is not enough RAM available.

Never disable the pagefile - this may lead to various issues on your system, such as crashing.

To set the pagefile:

  1. Press Windows + R on your keyboard and enter sysdm.cpl ,3
  2. Under the Performance section, press 'Settings'
  3. Go to the Advanced tab at the top, and at the Virtual memory section press 'Change...'
  4. Disable 'Automatically manage paging file size for all drives'
  5. Set a custom size for the drive it's currently on and increase the maximum size to be at least 40GB.
