re: /practice/overlord map problem

so right at the top of this forum we have

Sticky: Z_Malloc Error loading overlord/silentnight in practice

merging thread.

Whenever I try to play on Overlord (Ctf map) I get this message:

** Z_Malloc: failed on allocation of 4194328 bytes from the main zone
Please report the the problem you encountered on the Quake Live forums.
You must reload the web page to make this display go away.

So, I'm reporting it, and I don't know how to fix it, how can I?
Btw, I am doing this in practice mode, as I cannot find a live game on this map.

is the com_hunkmegs in your cfg set to 56... if so then u may want to raise it a bit to give QL more ram to load the maps.. try 128.. i dont have a problem loading any maps..with just 1gb system ram..

...Btw, I am doing this in practice mode, as I cannot find a live game on this map.

As a Standard player, you won't see a live game on this map. Prem/Pro sub only...

Try starting the map without any bots, I have the same problem if I leave it on the default.

it's been a sticky in this very forum for weeks...

i think you sould vid_restart and then enter writeconfig autoexec in the console, the vidrestart allocates the new value and then it has to be saved , just mabye this will work

Happened on Overlord, too, in practice mode. Overlord is a very big map

in order to continue my thread, /com_hunkmegs 96 or 256 doesn't seem to work for me (default value for me is 128). Even if i do a "seta com_hunkmegs xx" in a autoexec config file :/
This is weird because i have no problem to play with a "/devmap overlord" ...

I did it!! IT worked but then after 10 minutes the same error showed up...
