The following error message is shown seemingly randomly when the the published game starts up "Not enough memory (50 MB required)!". RAM is installed and also free, up to 4 GB on some machines.

We have major problems with that, at it appears randomly at customer PCs and we can do nothing about it.

What causes this and how can it be solved?

Have you tried to set the nexus higher?

Try -nx 100 on your command line and see if that doesn't fix it.

No, the "not enough memory" message is unrelated to the nexus, or can be even caused by giving a insanely high value for the nexus.

The message is related to your PC. Because there's no virtual memory left, you can't start large applications, like an engine. It can be solved by increasing the virtual memory in your System Settings, or by finding the reason for the high memory requirement of your PC. Probably it's some programs that you run in the background.

All this is also in the manual. Look under "engine errors".

I have to revisit this issue as many of our customers are experiencing problems with this:

We put together a F.A.Q. entry on it:

Quote:
Fehlermeldung: "Not enough memory (50 MB required)!"

Diese Fehlermeldung gibt an, dass der Spielanwendung aus bestimmten Gründen nicht genügend Speicher zur Verfügung steht. Es gibt hier folgende Ursachen und Lösungsansätze:

* Nicht genügend (freier) RAM-Speicher

Lösung: SPIEL benötigt mindestens 512 MB RAM, im Highendmodus mindestens 1024 MB.

* Nicht genügend (freier) Virtueller Speicher / Auslagerungsdatei zu klein

Lösung: Die Auslagerungsdatei des Betriebssystems sollte mindestens 1.5 GB groß sein. Sie können diese Einstellung über Systemsteuerung -> System -> Erweitert -> Systemleistung -> Einstellungen -> Erweitert -> Virtueller Arbeitsspeicher verändern. Die Auslagerungsdatei muss auch für die Installationspartition auf der SPIEL abgelegt ist, groß genug sein.

* Nicht genügend (freier) Festplattenspeicher

Lösung: Es reicht nicht aus, genügend RAM-Speicher verfügbar zu haben, ebenso müssen auf der Windowspartition und der Installationspartition des Spiels immer je 1.5 GB freier Speicher zur Verfügung stehen.

* Antivirus-, Anti-Adware-, Firewallsoftware blockiert Spielanwendung

Lösung: Manche Programme zum Schutz des Computers blockieren Anwendungen, die sehr viel Speicher belegen wollen. Dies kann bei SPIEL durchaus der Fall sein. Deaktivieren Sie daher bitte Antivirus-, Anti-Adware- und Firewallsoftware.

According to your explanations, this should solve the problem, shouldn't it?
But in some cases the problem still occurs!
What other advice can we give our customers?
