Weird Out Of Memory (1285) crash happening every 1-2 hours

[Amarga]

Hi, i've been having this weird issue since i updated my RAM where the game will randomly crash, looking at the logs this is what i found:

I already tried giving more RAM memory to the game on ProjectZomboid64.bat, i also tried disabling the Radeon overlay, turning graphics down, etc..
Ocasionally i also get a Stack Overflow (1283 iirc) buti can't exactly pinpoint where this is coming from, can anyone help me please? I'm kinda desperate since my friends depend on me hosting the world lol.

[Amarga]

Huh that's really weird, i'm using a RX 570 4GB, i'll try turning the graphics down next time.

[Amarga]

So i had another crash but this time the error line was a different one:

[20-01-23 17:07:47.945] ERROR: General     , 1674245267945> 25.967.521> SmartTexture.calculate> .

  Error translation: Invalid framebuffer operation (1286)

It's 1286 instead of 1285, i'm still going to try to tune down the graphics.

[Amarga]

The monitor is indeed plugged into the GPU, in any case iirc i disabled the integrated graphics from the motherboard.

It's really weird because i played PZ this whole year and i never had any issue, my mod list hasn't really increased besides one or two small mods.

I was thinking maybe the issue is on the GPU's drivers, last version gave me a lot of blue screens while playing so i downgraded to an older one from 2022 and since then i've been having this crashes. I'll report back if i find anything new.

So umm sorry for causing so much issues, i looked the java crash logs on the PZ folder on steamapps and found two different errors:

#

It mentions not enough physical RAM which is odd since less than one month ago i upgraded from 8 GB to 16 GB so this shouldn't happen. About the second error, i have no idea tbh.

[Amarga]

1. Done. I verified the game files and set back the value to the original 3GB

2. Not really since i reinstalled Windows 10 not too long ago because of my motherboard upgrade. It's set on automatic and on a large amount (14.5 GB iirc)

3. The RAMs are from the same manufacturer and i'm pretty sure are installed on their right place. Just for precaution i started a memory diagnostic but it came back with no problems.

4. I checked on the program and the only remarkable thing is that i have 9.4 GB on stand-by from my 16 GB, and only 1GB free. Could this have anything to do?

[Amarga]

Alright, i'll continue my server tonight and i'll let you know tomorrow the results, thank you so much for taking the time to answer.

hey, my friend got problem when she connect to my server, and i think urs problems are similar.
idk what we can do to fix it, but maybe u know..?

Hey Naxuy, does your friend got an AMD gpu by any chance? In my case i had to downgrade the drivers version since it seemed to be the culprit of the crashes. If that's not the case i'm afraid i don't really know of any other solution.

Bro, thanks for responding promptly enough, it's valuable. She has an amd Athlon Silver 3050U laptop with Radeon Graphics. Accordingly, she has a built-in graphics card, everything used to work great for us. This week I'm thinking of adding another 8GB of RAM to her laptop ( now only 4GB) and I hope this helps
