--- Comment #9 from JH jorgen.hedlund@gmail.com 2008-11-21 15:09:52 --- I've been playing around with that preloader.c file. Trying to get the VIRT down. I'm unsuccessful. When launched WoW use about 3700m. When logged in it quickly go above 4000m. This will increase as more data is loaded (textures etc.) and when it reach 4095m it starts to get really slow ingame (fps wise). You barely have enough time to Exit -> Exit Now (to save addon data). If you don't Exit, the game will crash.
It seems that it is inevitable. WoW -will- crash and it depends on how much you move around (how much data is loaded).
