Excuse my ignorance, but would this be caused by a memory leak or an application that allocated an amount of memory allowed by Windows but not Linux, or something else?
- 3836293648 4y agoWhile we can basically allocate almost infinite memory due to swapfiles storing unused pages when they cannot fit into RAM any more, we still have a limit on how many allocations you can do. The game crashes because it tries to do too many allocations. It still uses a reasonable (ish) amount of memory, it's just way too many tiny chunks of memory that aren't allocated next to eachother
- happymellon 4y agoThank you, but wouldn't this be a problem on Windows then, or is Windows just more forgiving for this type of behaviour?
