I have problems with launching map Distant Screams in Team Arena.
It shutdowns the game and view this error:
Code:
Z_Malloc: failed on allocation of 3534200 bytes from the main zone

What the Z_Malloc means and how to eliminate the error?

Try increasing com_zonemegs by 3.5 or 4.

I think the M stands for memory and the allloc for allocation. Not enough RAM was allocated for the map to run (I think). com_zonemegs allocates a certain amount for something. The z probably stands for zones :sly:

There is z-buffer I read somewhere before, that's not a console command though.

I increased it to 300 (is it too much?), but the problem still occur. I tried also re-install the patch, without success...

Z_Malloc buffer error doesn't appear, if the map is loaded from console...
Strange, very strange...
