#Build 42: Crash on "Click to Start" when allocating more than 3072m of RAM?

I've tried using the steam launch options to give more RAM, but that doesn't seem to work. When I edit the ProjectZomboid64.json up to 4096m, the game will crash as specified after loading a save. Manually changing it back to 3072m doesn't fix the crash, and I need to verify integrity to make it work again. My OS is Linux Mint 22.3, and I have 8gb of system RAM.

did it crash here?

I've got no clue. It was a freeze, then straight to desktop. I'm not even sure that would show up on a log.

#

hmmm...

#

my mind goes to a memory crash

#

you have 8gb and you are allocating half

brave verge
#

That's usually best practice, isn't it?

#

And that also doesn't explain why the behavior continues if I manually revert it to 3gb

try it without mods

#

this was loading a game right?

#

im not like missing something massive am i

Tried it without mods. It seems to work now, but even a single mod enabled reproduces the crash.

It seems that any mod enabled period, reproduces the issue.

try the perormance mod and see if it happens

The texture one?

kindred wolf

Yes

You only have 8gb RAM on your system, and you are using an integrated card, which uses your RAM as VRAM

#

Assigning more RAM to the game would be very nonsensical in this case, stick with the default on these specs

Literally "Laptop gaming"

#

Atleast linux is logical in this case

#

Bruh I always wondered and I still can't find any logical answer to this. Why the heck they build in a semi-good CPU that capable for most of the stuff. But then you leave it without GPU...

#

The iGPU is bad, but at least you can hook it up to 32GB RAM. But why then they installed only 8? Laptops are just make no sense

Download some more RAM

But seriously, how do you gonna upgrade it?
