There is insufficient system memory

I have 6 GB of ram,6GB swap space,i7 and a GTX480 1.5GB and I'm getting this error:

There is insufficient system memory available to run textures with the highest quality.To enable you to play normally ,textures are used with lower quality.

The game that's giving me the problem is divinity 2.I tried rebooting with no luck.I'm not sure how/where to begin to fix the issue.Can someone point me in the right direction.THX

Re: There is insufficient system memory

You're playing it in wine, right?

Check out this page: http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys.

You should set VideoPciDeviceID, VideoPciVendorID and VideoMemorySize to the right values.

I went to hkey_current-user/software/wine. I right clicked on wine and created new key named
Direct3D,in direct3D on the right side i right click and created a new dword value and named it
VideoMemorySize.I right clicked on that and hit modify and in the value data area i typed in 1500

Re: There is insufficient system memory

make a file like this

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"VideoMemorySize"="256"
"VideoPciDeviceID"=dword:000006e0
"VideoPciVendorID"=dword:000010de

with VideoMemorySize set to 1500

10de is the nvidia vendor id and so you need to do

lspci -n | grep 10de

and set VideoPciDeviceID to the value given after 10de:

save the file and do

regedit file.reg
