Game Crashing...

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm getting this message:

./piggs/player.pigg: Failed memory allocation
Read failed for file: player_library/V_MALE_BOOT.geo
-1

The game ran out of memory and must now exit.

First thing to do is open the NCSoft launcher and right click city of heroes and doing "Repair"


Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

I've done it twice. It still happens.

Unfortunately it means the game used up all of your computer's RAM memory and was forced to lockup when it tried to utilize more, and there was nothing left . Happens to me with my 2gb ram all the time now, and the bigger and bigger trials make it more often.

I got that last night for the first time on the Mac version of COH. I am executing /reloadgfx commands every 30 minutes which usually helps keep the Mac COH client from crashing. Its a known bug on that version that they have all sorts of memory management bugs.

But this is the FIRST time I've gotten that particular error message. I usually get other error messages or at times complete crashes with zero error messaging involved.

I have 3.2 gigs of readable RAM (total of 4 gigs, but Win7 32-bit only reads that much) and I'm still getting this error message, or errors like it. So I don't buy that it's my PC that's the problem.

Forget petitioning it as a game bug, the GMs will tell you that IT'S YOUR PROBLEM.

I never had this issue until the 2011-04-26 revision of the game. That's when I started getting these "memory" problems.

No, I don't buy the fact that this is an issue with my PC. Hell no.

I have less memory for my PC than you do, but I likewise don't think it is just a PC issue. SOMETHING has changed the way CoH uses memory, and it sure as heck is not good or efficient.

And there isn't any number of things that could also be going wrong and cause the game to crash on the players end other than memory.


Personally I think the game engine is having panic attacks over the upcoming conversion to F2P.

Something is causing CoH to have a massive memory leak. There's a thread about this buried a couple pages back in the tech forum, where people were reporting they got this error on 6 and possibly even 8gb RAM PCs, in non-hardcore(<6hr) playsessions.

And yes it did seem to start with i20.

Oh well. I'm glad for the solidarity, but really really sorry other people are experiencing the issue.

Same error as OP just now for the first time after a 3 hour gaming session, just popping out of the Train station in PI.

Perhaps, but the only thing mentioned in any of the pop-ups I get is memory. And this error is happening to a vast number of players... which leads me to believe it is unlikely something occuring on the player-side (since all of us would have to have spontaneously developed the SAME problem virtually over-night with the newest patch).

I had the same problem on an 8 gb memory computer when I first used the new NC Launcher. I had to go into the Launcher's options and turn off the option that kept the Launcher running in the background while I played. Since then, I haven't had that problem.

I saw the fix under the Tech threads.


Please try my arcs:

Arc# 63910 "Why Do Bad Girls Like Bad Boys?" (length=Long, levels 40+)
Arc# 401500 "How to Be a Successful Professional Criminal" (length=Very Long, levels 1-10)

I have also been having this problem for the last month or so; I also have maxed-out RAM, and do not buy that it is "my PC that is the problem". I even went so far as to completely DELETE the folder that those .pigg files are in, and then take the hour or so to re-install them. Still having the same bloody problem.

Gameplay / Technical Issues and Bugs section of the forums.

Guide: How to make the new NCSoft Launcher as unobtrusive as possible thread. (Not sure why it got unstickied)


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
