An application has requested more GPU memory than is available

Support Previous Build Reports
1

summary: Ever since the update to alpha 6 last night (nov 12) i have been getting this error:
“An application has requested more GPU memory than is available in the system. That application will now be closed.”

Steps to reproduce: Create a new game, select an area to spawn, while loading (possibly actually finished) the game will crash with the message “An application has requested more GPU memory than is available in the system. That application will now be closed.”

system specs: intel I7@ 3.5GHz, 8GB ram, 64bit windows OS, nvidia 550ti.

Notes: I have the newest drivers for my 550ti

Edit: i also cannot play alpha 5 anymore so I am doubting it is an issue with the game but i haven’t done anything differently since playing last

Same problem here - i reduced shadow resolution in user_settings.json from

	"shadow_resolution" : 8192,

to
"shadow_resolution" : 1024,

as a workaround.

Hi,

I haven’t had a chance to play for a while and I have the same problem, however immediately when statring the game.

My specs are also almost identical to the orginal post:Intel i7-2600 @ 3.4 GHz, 8 GB, 64bit WIndows 7, Nvidia GTX 550 Ti

Changing shadow_resolution to 1024 doesn’t help.
