Game crashes at startup

[Mederic]

Hi,

I get an error when I start the game : java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
My config: Windows 8.1, 8GB RAM, I7 2Ghz, GeForceGT 540M

I found this in the lastrun.log :

Have you ever allocated extra ram for any games like Minecraft or other Java based programs/games?

[Mederic]

I don't think so.

[corrodinggames]

Could you post your full lastrun.log file, just crash from an out of memory is hard to track down.

There have been some out of memory issues from subscribing to a lot of mods. as even if they are inactive they still get loaded for use in multiplayer.

In the same folder as the lastrun.log file there is 'fallback_lowmem.bat' could you try running that and see if it works?

[Mederic]

It was the first time I launched the game, so no mods. Running 'fallback_lowmem.bat' worked, but by habit I immediately went in the settings and set fullscreen, then it crashed again.

I dumped the lastrun.log and 2 crash dumps in this pastebin.

I thought 'fallback_lowmem.bat' worked, but apparently it works at random, same for the main executable.

[LeeIzaZombie]

Looks like Java had a huge crash outside the program, this is usually caused by a hardware error, usually in the memory.

First thing's first, are all your drivers fully updated? (Graphics Card)

Also try run a memory check on your machine incase it's a memory issue:

If nothing works out I'm sure the Dev might have a soultion for you :)

[corrodinggames]

So that low level crash is from ig4icd32.dll which is a intel graphics driver. But you said you have a GeForceGT 540M, so nvidia optimus is likely failing to detect the game as a game (I'm looking into ways I can help it) and is using your secondary intel card which often has out of date buggy drivers. Could you have a look here http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2615/~/how-do-i-customize-optimus-profiles-and-settings%3F and see if you can force the game to run with the nvidia card.

[Mederic]

No memory issues, but I noticed I couldn't access the nvidia control panel anymore. So I updated the graphic driver and selected the GT 540M by default. That fixed it. Thanks!
