Alright, so I'm using the latest version of Dream Maker, and I was trying to compile after I finally (after 8 months) decided to make my new weather system.
However after compiling, I received and error saying "Your Computer Is Low On Memory" and since then I haven't been able to compile it fully (it gets up to the map then stops).
Please help .-.

Any help?
|
It could mean exactly what it says: your memory is low.
You computer doesn't have enough memory to finish the compile process. Probably means your map is pretty big; or has a lot of objects mapped. Too many for it to write it properly to the dmb. |
Mm. I'll try decreasing the map space. I have fairly a large amount of space left on my comp.
Ty for replying. |
Update-
I cant even open the map file to make it smaller. When I try to open the map file, dream maker crashes. |
Have you ran a memtest to see if any of your RAM is bad?
What are the specs on your computer? |
Not sure if help is still required, but I had this once, ran a 32-bit computer with 4 GB of ram, what usually worked was either shut down a bunch of programs and restart Dream maker, or restart my PC and then apply the same things as I just stated.
|
Just ran into this for the first time. I found a 40g hidden file in the root of C: that was some kind of temp file that I think was related to putting my computer to sleep. Rebooting made it go away. Dream Maker was in the middle of compiling when I ran into the error.
|
I think that's a page file? When your computer doesn't have enough RAM, it saves the information on the actual filesystem temporarily.
|
I wish I took a closer look at those file names. You could be right but I have 32gb of ram and I looked at task manager and found the system was only using around 4gb of memory at the time of the problem.
I'll keep my eye on it and see if it reappears. |

Just my desktop. :) May have gotten a little carried away after being stuck with 3gb for last 10 years due to staying with XP for so long.

Well, suspend to disk (a la Hibernate and company) will basically write your RAM image to pagefile and extend it as needed. As standard in 7 (I think) your pagefile reflects the size of your RAM, which is a bit hilarious. So 32 GB + ~ 4GB of RAM image + general junk. Could well have just been pagefile. Still, with that much RAM, there's no big deal in just deleting that file.
