Failed to allocate xxxx Bytes !!! now every round.

Me9a · January 2016

Ok after i play idk 5-15 minutes of a ensl Gather (alien/Marine comm or not dosnt matter)
which contain:
NSL-Mod
Comp Mod v4
NS+

I get a lot of Stuttering and a Red plug on the Left Side and i can not interact anymore with anything and then after idk 10-30 Seconds the message comes:

"Failed to allocate xxxx Bytes"
"Ok"

and the Game crashes with that.

For some reson it dosnt crash on other servers but have similar error messages and red plugging.
some of it might get caused trough a lot of Alt+Tab ing in and out.

i bet it caused from this:
...there are some more of these client Game UpdateWorld errors you can see them later in the techlog.....

I meanwhile:
verified the Game Files,
delated the Gamecache and the Workshopfolder,
Tested my Memory no misttakes,
defraged my Hard Drives,
got Rid of Some programs in the autostart ect (UltraVnc, Steam)
switched from Windows Test mode into normal Windows mode,
Turned Steam Overlay and Steam Sychronisation off,

i Played 1 Hour pub Spectated 40 Minute a Gather (also first person)
and played a whole gather after.

i recorded everything with obs.
i didnt had the exact same crash again and i normaly dont record everything cause of performance resons.

but i will try to get a video proof soon.

Instead of a video, could you run that techsupport.exe while NS2 is crashed / still open.. even if its a black screen?

It should create a very large zip file that contains a dump. Upload it online somewhere and link it here.
Thanks!

tech_support file in first post and yeah the crash looks kinda like this:

(its from somebody else)

https://us.v-cdn.net/5019629/uploads/FileUpload/2a/049f1f9d94ce54c07be5709c2da16a.png

but without ns2 in the background (i play fullscreen mode)

IronHorse · February 2016

that first tech support zip did not include a dump file (it will have a folder called dump or minidump in it)

_INTER_ · February 2016

I vaguely remember my brief time I played it on Windows 8 and this occured all the time aswell. Fixed it with increasing the size of the virtual memory paging file.

Me9a · February 2016

my virtual memory file is on "automatic"
(btw i got win7)

and since my last message i didnt had these crashes so im still waiting to make a proper tech_support.zip

what i meanwhile did was:
Reinstalled Chrome Portable to the newest version
(that is running in the background for ensl gatherpage etc)

so as soon as i get one of these crashes i will do a tech support file.
