I expect this is one for the dev team to get back to you on tomorrow, but a couple things that you might try...

1. The obvious reboot?

2. Giving yourself more Virtual Memory withing windows. It could be that all the geometry is using up your RAM, which is probably shared by what looks to be an on-chip GFX setup.

3. Backup your dungeon before hand, but you could also try temporarily deleting a couple of floors from the dungeon lua file (the floors are mapped out there) to test if it is just that your dungeon is eating up all of your memory on load.

I have increased virtual memory and it is now giving me a runtime error. I dont know if getting more ram would fix this or if the alotted load time needs to be extended.

If more ram would fix it alone. I would suggest 8 or more gig of ram.


Thx,

I can atleast load things into a smaller dungeon and test them to see if they work.

The Ice wallset that I have made is very cool hahahahahha pun intended.

I think many people here use http://imgur.com, or http://photobucket.com or some such service. I'd love to see your ice walls too!

it says that the Runtime terminated it in an unusual way.

Not sure how to fix this.

Maybe a new graphic card with its own memory and more ram. as long as it is not an timeout issue for how long it takes to load the dungeon.

If you're running out of memory (you can check the memory usage in Windows Task Manager btw.), it's possible that players of your mod will have the same problem. It's recommended that you use compression for textures (DXT1 for textures without transparency, most textures don't need transparency channel, and DXT5 for those textures that really need transparency channel) and use 1024x1024 texture size or smaller. Large uncompressed textures can easily take a HUGE amount of memory.

EDIT: how large is your mod_asset folder?
