out of memory
|
I'm running windows xp pro and zmud 7.05 on a P4 with 1 gig of ram. I've had my max lines in main window set to 65k for a long time and never had any problems. It seems like before if I ran out of memory for the scrollback then it'd start wiping out the older lines to make space for the newer lines? Well recently the mud I play started allowing multiplaying, so I've had 3 character windows open at a time and if I play for more than a couple hours or so, I suddenly start getting bombarded with "out of memory" OK boxes. Is this a scrollback thing, or a bug in a script somewhere? Any suggestions on how to test it to find out?
Thanks,
Eupher |

Reduce the number of lines in your scrollback memory and see if it helps. Try around 1000 (the default). |

im having this problem on a regular basis too. It happens at random times. Sometimes i can play for hours in a row without problem, other times the out of memory message appears within 15 minutes after a reboot. zMud closes after the error. At that time trying to start another program gives the same out of memory message.
Im using v7.05 on win98. |

I lowered my max lines in main window preference to 50k. I don't know if it's coincidence, but I haven't had the problem since then (several days). I wanted to point out that our problems don't seem to be the same. The out of memory boxes didn't cause zmud to close. I had to hit return really fast to keep up with them so I could click the quit button in zmud. Once I did that, I could restart zmud (or anything else) without problem.

This sounds like a bad setting or more than one setting that call each other. |
