I can't use more than 1024 com_hunkmegs

Hi

I can’t use more than 1024 com_hunkmegs despite the fact windows says 4176 Mo free

My computer has 6Go of ram

More than 4 are free

But I can’t use more than 1024

Et says “Hunk data failed to allocate -2048 megs”

what is happening?

Why would you set such a high value in the first place? ET will never use that much even 256 would be more than enough.

Beside the above statement is correct you are probably trying to set a negative com_hunkmegs value.

Com_Error(ERR_FATAL, “Com_InitHunkMemory: Hunk data failed to allocate %i megs”, s_hunkTotal / (1024 * 1024));

-2048 = s_hunkTotal / (1024 * 1024) …?! (s_hunkTotal is your value)

Even people with poor RAM should know ET isn’t only using memory from q3 memory system (hunk- & zonemegs). It’s also bypassing this and allocates own memory for images and such. For vanilla ET a good com_hunkmegs value is 128.

Conclusion: Ayacca should set 6GB of RAM so the system hopefully starts swapping or paging.
