On my new rig adn realize I cant alt-tab out of CSS without getting this error. Anyone have a better explanation. I had a venice 3000 @2.6, 6800GT, 1gb ram before and I had no problems, Seems like this system runs alot better and higher fps but I have this issue and there must be a setting to change or something because I tried switching drivers with no result.


I get the error: Failed to lock index buffer in CMeshDX8::LockIndexBuffer
Question


The game crashes and I get the error: 'Failed to lock index buffer in CMeshDX8::LockIndexBuffer'
Answer


The 'Failed to lock index buffer' error will occur when you Alt+Tab to switch between windows while playing a game and your machine is unable to allocate sufficient memory to render graphics when you switch back to your game window.

The best solution for this behavior is to properly exit the game to return to your desktop so you may work with other applications.


Now how can i fix that? My new system is better than my old one and Im having a memory issue?

Just tried it, no success. Happens every single time I alt-tab either on my way out or on the way back in.

What I posted at the top is from the steam. And the answer is BS and there has to be a setting or something Im missing. Around on forums it seems most people say its something a patch will be needed to fix? But there has to be others with GTO2s that dont have this issue.
