Can't build large Terrain
since updating my Esenthel Engine SDK, I can't build my Terrain anymore. While the generating terrain part seems to run fine, when he starts to generate the paths, after some while a "can't allocate X bytes of memory" Error appears.

I tried to lower the path resolution to the lowest settings, no joy.

My Terrain is 8x8 KM in size, divided in 256x256 Tiles of 32 meters...


Please tell me how to turn of the Path feature. I think I rather come up with my own solution, this one doesn't seem to work for me.

Thanks

I ran the Autoupdater, started the build of the Terrain... no joy.

Still the same out of memory exception as before. Is there any fix for this problem? IS there a possibility to turn of the path generation? I don't need it, and I don't have any paths set (could this be the problem?)....

RE: Can't build large Terrain
what type of cpu do you have? (how many cores/hardware threads)
how much ram?
what os type? (32-64bit?)
please attach the screen from task manager at the moment of exit, so I can see memory usage.

I have an i7 2600K, 8 Hyperthreads, 16 G RAM, 64bit Win 7...

I can do the task manager thing maybe on friday, it takes 1-2 hours to build, I don't have that much time today...

I also have a i7 970, 12 Thread, 24 G RAM, 64bit Win 7 machine I could use.... but I don't think it will make a difference. Shall I try it there?

Oh.... haven't thought about that.... I'll give it a try

EDIT:

Great, that worked.... so I'll need to measure the memory usage the next time, but just seems to be over 3.5 Gigs....
