Engine Error: Can't load lump...

I was live streaming until this error came up. It randomly occurs on when you load a new map, and this is the only mod I’ve seen so far that have this problem.

ENGINE ERROR: Can't load lump 53, allocation of 17019609 bytes failed!!!

I have the same problem, but I can also read different bytes numers.

Same for me

It happens when you’re doing something whilst walking through a loading screen. Be it shooting, reloading, jumping, etc.

It happened to me multiple times, but not always because there was a loading screen nearby. It seemed random to me.

It happens occasionally, it is currently unknown if there will be a fix and if so when. If you get more than about 3 crashes from start to finish, there might be a way to cut down on them, but the mod hasn’t been out long enough to have a specific fix for you.

For some people increasing heap size to 1/3 of their system RAM helps, for others the process affinity trick in the Task Manager seems to work, personally I have had very few crashes, and I’ve seen it crash on a developer’s computer, it’s just something that is very hard to narrow down to a single issue, so follow the guidelines and post an .mdmp file so the developers can take a look at it.

Really hope they make a patch to Black Mesa once its out on steam
