Post by: Tamlin on January 17, 2007, 08:04:07 pm
Here we go, 3.6.9 build Turey's install plus some extra camps\mods.Something happened and don't know what.Everything worked great then this CRASH,Checked all the other boards for a solution. Inferno{ Both of them ]got the Inferno bug,got the S:AH problem,but here's new ones Shrouding The light, The enhanced Demo,Sync, I already read about the ITDoH bug. The others[Fsport,awakenings,DEM] won't even go past the pilot screen.  Now everything worked then this came up and now nothing works

   ERROR Malloc Failed
File:J\SRC\CVS\Fs2_open.Final\code\GlobalInc\WinDebug.cpp

I've honestly never seen this one before.

When did you get 3.6.9?

RAM problems?

Are you using anything much more memory intensive that you weren't using before?

Try updating with Turey's installer, but get just the core files.

Or, you could try saving your player files, then reinstalling completely...

That's the quickest way I can think of to try and get it working again. Sounds like some serious corruption in some common, critical file, especially since it happens in all those different mods.

Ok...I went around the net looking for What could be the problem.Vid drivers fine ,Memtested fine, virus \spy crap scanned fine,double checked some files with older back-up [what I could understand seems ok],updater did nothing, but INF:A runs ?Maybe I dumb or something but whats the big difference between 3.6.9dot whatever ,oh 9 and final ,other than some peeps are having problems?[Not bad mouthing i just don't know] .Or is it cause i have mixed camps; like one was buildt for 3.6 and another is 3.6.9 final and if so wouldn't it be backward compatable

Post screen shots of your FreeSpace2 folder, your data\tables folder, and the contents of launcher6.ini.

As Ghostavo said, an error with malloc implies memory problems. How much RAM and virtual memory do you have?

Have you tried switching it off or increasing your swap file size?
