roomstruct: allocall: out of memory (revisited)

[amaranth]

Hey guys, what's up?

I've got a problem that I hope you can help me with. Someone sent me an e-mail and told me they were getting this error when they tried to start gaea fallen: 'roomstruct: allocall: out of memory'

I searched the old forums for a solution and found two. They require the user to open winsetup.exe, and the one for my game isn't opening (get an 'Error launghing ACWIN to run setup' message). Does the the winsetup.exe file point to the acsetup.cfg file? If so, do you know how I can  work around the following problem without opening the winsetup.exe file:

----------------------------------------------------------
Ionas:
Error: roomstruct::allocall: out of memory
Does anyone know what this could mean?

I tried uploading my Fatman.exe demo to chrille and when he runs it, it gives him this error msg. I have no idea what could be causing this, because m0ds and others have had no problems on thier computers.
--------------------------------------------------------
Chris:
Anyone with this error, try running Setup and selecting the WaveOut digital sound driver, see if that stops the crashes. If it does, try going back to Default Directsound and see if it works then.

Thanks much!
Amanda

Which version of AGS were you using? I think this bug was fixed back in v2.52, but I can't remember exactly.

I was using the first version for Windows. I can't remember the exact version, but I  think it was before 2.52

Well that's very out of date then, you shoul get ags 2.54 and take advantange of some new features.

Plus you shouldn't really post errors fom old versions if you haven't tried the latest to see if it's fixed :/

scotch: actually this isn't such a silly request - I think she compiled her game with the older version, and someone has just downloaded the game and is getting the error message.

So I'm afraid yes, the solution would be to upgrade your game to the latest AGS version and upload it again :/

Thanks guys! Scotch, I wanted to do that, but unfortunately, my computer melted down last fall and everything on my computer was lost -- including my ags files Luckily this seems to be an isolated incident.
