Check out this thread. http://www.urbanterr...gs/page__st__10

In my opinion YMMV: max value is 1024. In practice 512 is fine, I have tried both for months on end and I cant tell the difference. :)

512 will work fine on most maps however I suggest using the (default) value 800 in order to be able to load memory-hungry maps as well. Any value above 800 is pointless for UrT 4.x but as far as I remember there is no upper limit.

800 didn't work for me it causes the game to crash, I use a value of 640MB but I think this is a combination of other settings in my config plus the use of the custom binary.

640MB is absolutely fine with large maps.


Max is 1024MB on 32bit binaries iirc.

I have 48gigs of ram, so I use 1024.
Anything higher crashes at start.

and would still crash regardless of ram as its a 32bit app and restricted to the allocation of 1024MB.

Hi Nitro :)
AFAIK windows and mac are 32bit clients but linux does ship with 64bit client.

I've just been messing around , the upper limit for both 32bit and 64bit binary is 2040MB
It seg faults on 2048MB.
Things might be different on a 32bit OS, I was using 64bit linux.

I get that, I just want to use as much as possible since I have it.

I thought I would experiment with the lower limit.
The engine seems quite happy with a value of "0"!!!!

Makes me think that there is a minimum value hardcoded...

\com_hunkmegs
"com_hunkmegs" is:"0" default:"512"

I could load some of the bigger maps no problem.
Beats me, I rember back in the day of Quake3 having to raise the hunkmegs to load some maps.

I have come to the conclusion that com_hunkmegs does nothing.

Edit:
hunkmegs are indeed harcode to minimum value 512.

Minimum com_hunkmegs is 512, allocating 512 megs.

the restriction I believe is a microsoft/windows restriction for 32bit apps which can be increased if compiled to be LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE (increases limit to something like 2-3GB) but for something like UrT it isnt needed.
