I'd suggest, respectfully, amending that to the only real "first step" toward solving your problem. I took a bit of digging to find it, but the minimum System Requirements does list 256MB, while recommended exceed that to 1GB.

I don't want to sound overly critical of the marketing department, but if the minimal requirements don't allow for inclusion of the top side custom options, Facegen notwithstanding, without meeting recommendations, then it would be helpful to state which items may or may not be able to be implemented easily "at minimum." I think that's only fair to the user, who otherwise ends up in tech support being told what we're telling him.

All right. Editorial whim aside, RAM helps, solves a lot, but may not be the problem. Before you elect to add more (and that IS a good idea!), you may want to create a bare minimum league, say 8 teams or so, no Facegen, nothing fancy, etc.. and see if it will run / boot up, with no error messages. It's safe to say that a minimum game should run at minimum recommendations. If it doesn't, something else is at work bugging it up.

Sound fair enough, ggpa? Again, not trying to be contrary, only trying to come at it from a start at square one angle.
