I had played other beta's getting the same error...
Hunk_Alloc failed on 1779808
Everything would load, then this error would pop up. I previously heard it was a memory problem, but if this map requires more than a gig of ram, then thats just insane.
Maybe shining alittle light on why this happens can make my day.
(it looks like a beautiful map)

the game doesn't automatically decide the best com_hunkmegs you can use, it has a default valuw, which is no ggod for some ofthe newer more complex maps. You have to manually change it, most people have it set in the 90-128 range.
so like above change you com-hunkmegs, just to the level that you don't get the error, some people run into ssues when it is set to high. So if 64 works, then stay there

Afaik using half of your physical memory couldn't be "dangerous". I use 256 mb for Q3A cause I have 512mb RAM.
Be aware that when you open your console and load a map you start up both a server and a client which uses a lot more ram then joining a server.
