Error: Memory allocation failure
Description: The program failled to allocate a block of memory.
Howto Fix: Likely causes are (in order of likeliness) : the partition holding the swapfile is full; swapfile size is smaller than required; memory fragmentation; heap corruption

I saw that so many times during the compilation of de_full_city and now its happening to another map I'm making.

Tommy says:
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.

Well I'm not using a skybox, computer is virus free, don't know what a spawn file is, should probably defrag since I haven't in a LOOOOOOOONG time.

Corrupt prefab you say? Please describe a corrupt prefab for me because I am using many vehicle prefabs and this could be the problem.

*swap file, not spawn.

Increase the swap file size in windows. search for it in Google.

Ah. good ol wikipedia...
