Out of memory exception when trying to generate world

[Gravemind]

Got 16gb of Ram, is that seriously not enough any more

Check your computer's PageFile to see if you disabled or limited it at some point...then turn it back on.
Make sure the harddrive has at least 15-20gb of free space too.

The world generation hangs with 16Gb memory. The error is that it behaves bad when/if it does not have enough resources.

The game must behave nice:
- It must check and tell the user if there are not enough resources to do a task.
- It must tell the user what resources it needs and how much.
- It must not lag or hang the computer regardless of available resources.
- It must not prevent or cripple multitasking. Alt+tab must work at all times.

Exit/restart game before and after every map generation to make sure your system memory has been purged. Starting map generation if the game has already spiked up system ram use isn't a great thing.

16gb should be enough to do even 10k maps if you have pagefile set high and are patient. Although I'd probably stick to 6k and 8k maps.

With current prices, how expensive GPU the random world generation of 7D2D needs?

I'd like to know did the designers really mean to make a game which will not run on less than 1500€ computer?

Disabling sound to 0% in 7days settings helps a bit.I also only use 16gb.

Game itself runs on "lesser" or moderately aged PC's/gpu's...you're just not going to be running it Ultra or higher resolutions or whatever. There are some pre-gen maps if the map generator is too much.

The map generator tho ... yeah. It is very demanding. Especially system memory. If it stays like that (which is likely, imo), they should really at least include another set of pre-gen maps.

All 16gb are available and nothing else hogs the ram when I play 7dtd.
Even the smallest custom map instantly breaks now, when it didn't used to before this freaking update.

16gb is perfectly fine for rwg, as long as the page file has not been tweaked, you should be able to generate 10k maps all slider maxed.

You must set Windows virtual memory to 24-32gb...

Better let windows manage it.

You must not run otherthing in back even go to internet & listen music & ect..., nothing !
& just let the game gen the map by let all ressource for that...
With any version of 7DTD I never got out of memory for gen map.
My PC i5-3330 3ghz 16gb no SSD, a map 6k take less than 10mn...

Wrong... 7DTD need more a good CPU than a good GPU... (Not my world.)

I'm not a noob to this game or gaming in general, I have things set up fine and my rig is fine.
It's just the moment this update came out the game ♥♥♥♥ itself.

We dont know if you are a noob or not, ppl are just trying to help, if you are here just to complain then just move on and don't read us.
Meanwhile rwg works fine for other people with same amount of ram. Too easy to complain about the updates.

As everything already been said, I'll just add, try reinstalling and cleaning all game data, including registry.

Then you must check that you don't have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of programs in background, that your pagefile is managed by windows, that you have enough disk space, maybe your xmp profile, but at this point if you still can't generate I have no idea.

Maybe you can give us some info on your hardware too.

Did you check your computer's PageFile settings?

If the PageFile is limited or disabled (or the harddrive is getting too full), the computer will reserve space in SystemRAM instead BUT it won't show that it's being used...because it's just being "held in reserve" as CommitCharge. Open TaskManager and then SystemResourced and select the MemoryTab...then look at how much RAM is being used for CommitCharge.
Normally that commitcharge can be moved to the PageFile...unless you disabled, limited or blocked the PageFile, then it stays in RAM as sections you can't use while gaming.

The game and map-generation will happily run on whimpy IntegratedGraphics with no VRAM and only 8gb of system RAM....as long as the computer's PageFile is working.
It'll want resolution lowered to compensate for the whimpy graphics while playing if you want decent FPS, obviously..but it doesn't crash.
