" ran out of virtual memory "

[Euphytose]

Hi,

So basically every X map change, my game will crash with this message.

First of all the game only detects 4 gb while I have 6 gb ( yes I use a 64 bits version of Windows 7 ) and it tells me to " free space from my hard drive " ( I have 322 gb free ).

So I guess this problem comes from the game, I always had this bug but it used to happen less than now.

Anyone has the same problem?

[Elaboration]

Just got the same problem around an hour ago, while the 7th round was beginning on a map I was playing. I had to rebuy everything

Game only detected 4gb RAM out of my 8, not an issue as it happens in everything I play. It did say "Ran out of virtual memory. To prevent this condition, you must free up more space on your primary hard disk." Sounds like a memory leak to me?

I have the full text of the error from the error prompt, if a dev wants a copy of it.

[Euphytose]

Yeah some people with old computers, like I have before, report that the game crashes even more.

I used to have an incredible " quit time " too, it would take like 5 minutes to quit the game, and I'm not exagerating.

I also have ( with my new computer ) some runtime errors when the map changes too. It's really random, but it does seem like a memory leak indeed.

Same thing is happening to me.

Updated and then tried to play with my friend.

We played about 8 minutes then it crashed with out of virtual memory error.

Now I can't even host. I try to load the map and it crashes to desktop every time.

I hosted games just fine before this update with no problems. We would play for hours and not have a single crash.

I have not changed my computer or INI files at all since the christmas update and I can no longer play.

Any ideas?

We are tracking this issue, but are having trouble reproducing it here at the office. Can you post anything about your playstyle that might lead us to the issue?

Post your pc specs to

Yoshiro! How I've missed you!

Anyways, I been getting this problem, its not happening as often but it still happening after a complete reinstall of KF. just deleting the .ini and verifying cache did nothing.

Problem ocurring on santas map, dont think it's happening on other maps.

Error is the same as others have been getting.

Yes I too am getting the virtual memory error and crashing out, and only since the latest update, and yes I have plenty of hard drive space. It started on the new xmas map, but has spread to other maps too. Usually at a map change, or in the shop (mostly when the wave starts).

I run an older computer:
AMD Dual Core 3.0 Ghz
Nvidia 9800GT
Windows Vista 32 bit
2 Gb physical memory
just over 4gb virtual memory (and at moment with steam, firefox, and various background av etc there is 2.9 gb free)

Would be excellent if you could figure out what the problem possibly is as I <3 this game very much.
Thanx

PS what exactly do you mean by play style?

I've got the same problem too just now.

After a match with friends, I was planning on making a Solo game, to buff up my Firebug some. I made a West London game and since I ran the game in a window, I opened up Wordpad and started on a school project while waiting.

Then, the game just crashed with some message that I ran out of Virtual memory and to "clean my hard disk drive" or something along those lines.

I run a laptop:
Windows 7 Home Premium(64-bit)
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6600
2GB memory
ATI Radeon Premium Graphics card

and I have 214 GB free space in my hard drive.

Windows Vista 64 Home Premium
8 gigs of ram
e8600
Nvidia 9500GT 258.96 driver

Swap file is shut off

I normally host a listen server and we have about 4-6 players in there with FF on.

This happened when I was playing with just 1 other friend to test it out.

Map loading was taking a long time and crashing occasionally when we first tried. It will basically cause KF (I play windowed) to briefly go into the "not responding" windows notification. But I had just let it run and it eventually loaded the map.

First time we played for like 8-10 minutes (made it to wave 3 of a 2 man suicidal difficulty on Santa's Evil Lair) and then it crashed.

Second game after the crash we played for about 2 minutes (I was getting overwhelmed on wave 1) and just after a bloat puked on me it crashed again.

Then we made it into another game and I was up against a wall and a clot hit me and it crashed.

Each crash was the "out of virtual memory"

On the 4th time the game will crash on map load - it has done so ever since.

Let me know if there are any other details I can provide.

Note that I have two different crashs. One when I load a map and I run out of memory, and one that can happen any time ( but not very often ) which says runtime error.

I'll add to the list of people with crashes that give Virtual Memory error.

With my old computer I had the same crash occasionally, and for what I remember nearly always happens after loading a map. However, yesterday it was the first time I had one happening mid-game(between 2 waves when nearly at the trader), where first the game started to drop in fps, from ~59 to ~20 or so, and about 30 seconds later, maybe sooner, it crashed giving another virtual memory error.

Yep, same here. I seem to get the error when I change perks or buy a weapon aswell. Doesn't happen every single time, but it tends to happen quite alot. Did a fresh install, didn't work. Specs (shamelessy copied from XFire)

I only get this error when I try to load the new Santa's Evil Lair map. Either join a server, change to the map while on the server, or play it in Solo modo, all result in a "Ran out of virtual memory" error.

Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 (Factory clock of 3.4 GHz)
RAM: 2x2GB DDR3
HDD: 1 TB with more than half the space remaining (600 or so GBs)
Mother Board: Gigabyte GA-790XTA-UD4
GPU: ATI Radeon 8570
OP: Windows 7 64bit.

I did manage to get Santa's Evil Lair to load once in solo modo by deleting the contents of the System folder ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\System ) and then verifying my Cache using Steam. But after one play, it stopped working and didn't work after trying the exact same fix twice.

Started getting this error on Departed and Icebreaker as well. I bet there are more maps that don't like me.

Little bit of an update on my side.

Right after that I restarted Killing Floor to continue playing on KF-Departed, first time I blew myself up, second time it crashed with a runtime error not long in(~wave 3).
