This can Greatly help with Performance and preventing stuttering, crashhes and weird error that looks like Evil spawn!

  • Start > Control Panel > System.

  • Under Tasks, click Advanced system settings

  • In the System Properties window, click the Advanced tab.

  • Click Settings under Performance.

  • Click the Advanced tab, and click Change under Virtual Memory.

  • Select Custom size and set Initial size (MB) and Maximum size (MB). For the initial size,


By using SSD for Virtual Memory you can make the games faster! (on HDD still helps)
  • i suggest using 100% of your RAM memory as initial size and 150% as your maximum size

  • for example for 8Gb of ram 8000 - 12000 or 8192 - 12288

  • For people with more than 16GB of ram, you don't need to go above 16-24 pagesys, at least for this game and i doubt you will ever need more.
  • For this change to take effect You will have to restart your Computer (don't worry it will work)
  • if your sources suggest different amount feel free to use them instead
  • Some systems might recommend flat 150% min and max, i don't wanna argue with it
  • my suggestion is just general example with the idea to allow your PC to drop entire containment of RAM into pagesys

    Question for scenario: 
    OS is on C:/  
    Steam and Kenshi on D:/

    Should memory be adjusted only on C:/, right?
    Thank you in advance for clarification and making life better for all Kenshi fans :)
