Good ol' Tommy has a reply:

Memory allocation failure

Description: The program failed to allocate a block of memory. Likely causes are (in order of likeliness):

• Do not compile thru WC/Hammer F9 "running" - this hogs RAM. Instead use a front end or batch file to organize your compiling

• The partition holding the swapfile is full (clean out your hard drive, empty trash, clear out unused files, purge your temp files folders and internet browsers temp files.)

• Swapfile size is smaller than required (let swapfile be dynamicly allocated, do not set it too small yourself.)

• Memory fragmentation (defrag your hard drive)

• Heap corruption (reboot and try again. If you have old RAM, make sure it is seated well. check for viruses!).

• On at least one occasion this was caused by a corrupt prefab.

• On at least one occasion this was solved by removing a skybox and so making the level smaller. [/quote]
