  3. "Malloc" error with 3GB RAM + 1GB Video Ram ?

    in TDM Tech Support

    Ah I got your post mixed with someone elses about the amount of ram, I see you have 4GB.

    XP Works, I can play on an XP laptop just fine. L&L does crash most of the time, but that is a huge map. It did load twice out of the 6 or 7 times I tried loading it. Then again, I still get Malloc errors sometimes on my desktop which has 6 GB of ram, and this is on Windows 7 64bit.

    Not going to remove XP support just because 1 or 2 maps have issues and are pushing the Doom 3 engine to it's limits.

     

    look i am not sure what your position is in the dev circle but i am just a simple user/ gamer and like things to be as nailed down as possible. can we hope to expect support for xp, fixing crashes and what not? if the answer is no, you have no argument for keeping it listed, and for the record it crashes on more than just 2 maps. its closer to half a dozen, could be more.

     

    its quite simple, either try and continue to support it in future updates to TDM code or just drop the support for xp already and let it be know.

     

    currently the only form of support i see is from the enthusiasts or in the wiki which is all well and good for a mod but lets face it, none of which solve the crashing. i find this on the fence approach to be no good for anyone.

    *blinks, that would be disingenuous, since it does run on XP.  Under that logic, all OSes should be removed, since they'll all need enough RAM, despite 98% of missions running without issue.  It might make sense to stipulate you'd want more than 512 MB RAM free though?

     

    under that logic atari should be listed. %98? where f did you come up with that fact is XP does not meet the memory requirements to load maps properly. while it does run, its not being actively supported, therefore, (wait for it) remove it

    Hi guys,

     

    Having read so much cool stuff about "Requiem" I reinstalled a fresh darkmod folder, but I have to tweak my Darkmod.cfg to be able to load a saved game (same happened with "In the North"):

     

    seta image_downSizeLimit "256"

    seta image_downSizeBumpLimit "128"

    seta image_downSizeSpecularLimit "128"

    seta image_downSizeBump "1"

    seta image_downSizeSpecular "1"

    seta image_forceDownSize "1" <- this HAD to be set

    seta image_downSize "1"

     

    Is 1GB Video RAM (with 3GB RAM) not enough ? Or is it an ATI driver issue? any idea ?

    (I'm not using Catalyst Control Center or other tweaks).

     

    Windows XP SP3 32bit

    AMD dual-core 4800+ (2x2.5GHz)

    3GB RAM

    ATI Radeon HD 7750 1GB

    i only just found out about this mod so im still very much new to this game but not the thief game in general. i have the same problem and a similar system

    Windows XP SP3 32bit

    Intel Q9450 quad core 2.66mhz

    4GB Gskills Ripjaws RAM (only 3.25 used by the system)

    ATI Radeon HD 6950 2GB

     

    i always get malloc error on some newer maps Requiem and Lords & Legacy included. The suggested fixes and posted cvars from the the darkmod.cfg did not fix it. Also noticed in the tdm wiki Windows XP is included in the list of compatible systems, why is that since this does not appear to be the case?
