There really is no excuse for that in a 3rd gen (chronological) game. Of course if you want this to be a barrier to entry on your game, and keep all the non tech savy people away, well then you are right on the fucking mark. |
a large static pagefile has more benefits beyound game performance, if you do a lot of work with large programs.. I've personally had my swap file large since I started going to college, due to the nature of the software I've been issued.
Its also very simple to change your swap file size. You simply go into settings, change it to the right size (thank you guides all over the internet, if you don't know), and defrag your swap file.
