hi, i have now installed windows 10 and got now following problem: if i start uosteam i  get sometimes the message: u dont have enough free memory to start this program!..i have 8 GB RAM and if i start taskmanager, there is shown that only maybe 20-30% of RAM is used.
i have increased my virtual memory from 16GB to 24GB but nothing happens...sometimes it works if i close some applications like ICQ, soundcardmanager etc.


atm i have 1 client open ( shutting icq before)  but the 2. account cant open...anyone know this problem and know how to solve it?


greetings, swift

  Cant say I know about the problem your having with the UO client. But I do know there is a how to video out there, of whats good to turn off/on in the windows 10 settings prior to using its features. I suggest looking this up.

   A fellow, old school UO gamer, has windows ten on all of his gaming computers. Since he watched the video-- I mentioned above-- he says all his old, and new, school games work like a charm. 

  Maybe this can help. I'm not sure if it will, or what the name of the help video is. I'll try to find out, if you need me to. Just respond here.

that would be nice...from other uosplayer i read that uosteam want to be in the first 3 GB of ram...if not, this message comes and uosteam dont start....i dont know if this is correct.

I did have the same problem when I installed windows 10 all I did was restarted my computer and it seemed to work fine after that. give that a shot and let us know. if not I'm sure we will do are best to get back up and running Good luck.

atm i have to close some apps like ICQ, soundcardmanager, skype and so on to get 1 client started....2. client--->memory problem :/

Have you done all of the windows updates?

Try using the auto manage file size in the virtual memory and not the custom.

if anyone else get this problem with windows 10 and uosteam:


i have done following things, maybe one of this or all together solved the problem:


-set the virtual memory from [3x RAM]-[3x RAM]...i have 8 GB ram so i set 24gb to 24 gb
-try to delete/deactivate all useless programs..i deactivated for instance skype..if i need this i can start it manual
-start uosteam as administrator...on my PC now 1 client can started normaly, the 2. one need started as admin to work


sometimes helps (not on my pc but on others): run uosteam in compatibility-modus for win7/8/xp or vista


and sometimes helps: restart the pc ...god knows why

I get this error from time-to-time and have found that if I close Chrome, start AssistUO and then re-open Chrome once UO starts it resolves the issue. I have not dug into the problem too deep as I said it is too infrequent and I can resolve by taking the step above.


Also - this applies to machines running Win 7 and Win 10.

Here are a few things you might try

INFO #2
Windows has multiple kinds of memory, some of them have more restrictive limits than others.

For example, there are User and GDI heaps. You can run out of these heaps long before you run out of physical or virtual memory. This is particularly bad if your software has resource leaks. If you run a lot of applications, especially a lot of gui or graphic intensive ones, you can run out of these resource heaps.

The only real solution is to shut down stuff you're not using, even though you still have memory available. If it's a resource leak, you may even have to reboot to get all your heap memory back.

How to fix high memory usage in Windows 10

Step-1: Download and install the Windows Driver kit

Step-2: Go to Start menu from the Windows key and open Command Prompt. Right-click on the resulting icon and select Run as Administrator from the drop-down menu

Step-3: Type cd C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits8.1Toolsx64 and press Enter to go to the directory in the command prompt where WDK was installed

Step-4: Type poolmon.exe then press Enter. When the utility opens up, press P to sort via pooltype then B to sort it according to number of bytes

Step-5: Note down the pooltag of the item which is using a majority of the memory. Open another command prompt to check which driver the tag belongs to. For this type f indstr / s then the tag which you have noted

Step-6: The command will point to a specific sys file. Open the file properties to check which driver the file belongs to. When you find out the driver, head over to the Microsoft site to download the official driver for Windows 10

Hopefully, these steps will address the memory issue on your Windows 10 powered PC. Microsoft has also outlined a few tips for preventing low memory problems in Windows 10.
