(Repeat): Z_Malloc(): Failed to alloc -67108856 bytes (TAG_BSP) !!!!!
I researched z_malloc errors in other games, and found using "-zone xxx" is supposed to help.
However, it is asking for a "-" amount of ram needed.
STUMPED, and depressed!
Just wanted to BUMP this in case someone new has any ideas.
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO PLAY THIS GAME OVER THE WEEKEND!!
I have tried adding "-zone <###>" with various sizes to the command line, to no avail.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
If you are using an AMD chipset (I have the Abit KG7) try reinstalling the AGP miniport driver (v 4.80) AFTER installing the game!
This fixed my issue for win98se and winXP Pro.
Whoo Hoo! Game rocks!
I get the same error (different memory number) when it starts to load the level right after the doom giver launches.
Help would be loved and appreciated.
edit: installed newest VIA 4in1, no luck, installed newest dets, no luck
Bumping in hope someone who knows the answer will read this.
Watch out for that
***BUMP***
in the road
Well, that was short lived...
I was able to play up until the Mon Mothma meeting in her office after discovering the crystals, then I got an illegal operation on the next level load.
Now I get Spawnentities error: No entities.
I have downloaded and installed new/latest drivers of every device in my machine AFTER installing the game, and still no go.
Keep the faith, bump it to keep it alive.
OK, again I found something new...
I went into Windows Control Panel, nVidia's NView control, and hit the Disable nView button(v28.32).
I have now played almost 16 hours straight (wife wants to kill me!) ...no errors, no lockups!
LOVE THE SLOW MO' DEATH SEQUENCES!!!!
Also, (minus the long load times) I am getting 60-90 FPS with everything turned on, and 1280x1024 on a Geforce4.
This game ROCKS!
I found this over at the EF forums from a guy name Lucky/Radar:
u can also alter the hunkmegs setting in your efconfig.cfg (for singleplayer mode) or hmconfig.cfg (for holomatch mode) - u'll find both in your baseEF directory/folder.
this is how u can change it:
1. open the file in which u want to change the hunkmegs with wordpad.
2. find the line: seta com_hunkMegs "48"
3. replace 48 with whatever value that works 4 u.
4. then save the updated file.
5. test if your new hunkmegs setting works.
6. if it does => u're done.
7. if it doesn't repeat steps 1-5.
Another guy said that the hunkMegs tweak worked him for the Z_Malloc error. You can find the details of doing this in JK2 in the thread that's mentioned on the jediknightII.net site. Something about having to add it to the config file as it's not already there. If anyone needs more details I've got the thread saved at home in a text file.
I have the same problem when trying to load the map artus_topside the game stops with this error: Z_Malloc(): Failed to alloc -268435448 bytes (TAG_BSP) !!!!!
My Pz..
AMD 1200MHZ
Gforce 3 TI500 64MB
512MB ram
I found a Q3A tweak guide that recommends you set the hunkmegs parameter to half of your system RAM but never higher than 128.
I did LOTS of research on z_malloc errors, and while they all recommend using hunkmegs and zonemegs, ALL the errors people were encountering were positive number sizes, NOT negative. This is unique in that it says a minus number.
vega-since you are using a Geforce, have you tried turning off the nview display features?
I have yet to crash in either operating system since turning it off. I have rebooted, played other games, then came back to JO, and am still rock solid. I turn on nView, and get either z_malloc or Spawnentities errors immediatley.
Guys, I've tried 48, 128, and 192 and I'm still getting the same error. ARGH!!
I have extracted my assets.pk3 with winrar and got an CRC error on the map artus_topside exactly the same map that crashed the game my pk3 is corrupt weird
I tried another forum and someone posted that they got the problem when they were running with 256MB of memory and set the Maxclients setting to a high number when running a Q3 server. He said that he cured the problem by adding another 256MB stick of ram. Kinda sucks because this game should be playable with as little as 128MB of RAM.
Is there anyone out there with 512MB of RAM having this problem? Is everyone closing down all their background apps before starting JK2?
Alot of gamers use a freeware utility called Cacheman to improve memory management/usage for gaming. I remember it also had a function to reclaim all memory before you started a "big" game. It was a "highly recommended" utility.
The only other thing I can thing of is a complete reinstall of the game - maybe a setting got hosed.
We know it's related to memory and appears to be related to Q3-engine games. I'd bet Raven or LucasArts would be able to help with this problem.
I have 512MB of ram and a Gforce3 Ti500 64MB, and i have the same problem..
i got SpawnEntities: no entities error on the first level..
after clearing the 3 imperial codes and entering the door (while Jan is going to meet Kyle at the ship)
any ideas?
i am running Windows 2000 with ASUS AGP V3800M, 128 Ram and 6 Gig
help.....
