Random bad std::alloc

Post by hach-que »

I randomly get a crash with the message "bad std::alloc". No crash data is printed to infolog.txt and I have ground decals all the way onto 0.

My NVIDIA drivers are the latest and I've done both the dual-core and NVIDIA fixes that are required.

Does anyone know what might cause this?

The message means that spring fails to allocate memory it needs, which can be caused by running out of memory or bug(s). Seems to me RAI has this as a known bug, though spring occasionally does it alone as well.
