Before yesterday, paging to disk worked completely fine and my project would build to the end without any hitches. However, when I tried to build my project today when WM tried to page to disk, it failed building the current device and canceled the build, and WM cannot build any further.
*** Build Started ***
Warning: Beginning disk paging to free memory (350MB required)...
Error: Fatal memory allocation failure.
The build has failed; a device could not be built. Perhaps you ran out of memory?
I’ve tried reloading the project, copy pasting it into a new file, changing the page file folder to another disk, none of them worked and WM still cannot page to disk without throwing an error.
World machine uses it’s own swap files in it’s own “temp” folder (Roaming/World Machine Professional/Temp), not the windows page file. Check if your “C-Drive” or drive with your OS on it, has space on it. Tiled builds in particular leave behind lots of swap data if a build crashes before finishing.
What’s the version of wm are you using? If it’s not a problem, you can pm me the tmd, so I can test it at my end. If it’s not a problem with space, then it’s a regression from previous versions. There was a bug that was patched in 4017 (I think), where paging caused builder to crash.
