edited January 21, 2017 in Bug Reporting
Alert box popup showing Global Memory Allocation Failure and large negative number. Causes game to get stuck then crash. Never got this bug before most recent patch/update (neahmin). Happening on semi-regular basis. occurs right at start of loading game/logging in.
Tried re-installing game, still getting error.

    This error in 100% of cases so far is produced by having a 32-bit operating system or RAM less than 3 GB. Before I managed to find a solution but with the following updates did not work well, I do not know if now it works:

    (Run as administrator: cmd) Put the same text as in the picture and Enter

    After restart operating system

    (Again) Put the same text as in the picture and Enter

    After restart operating system

    It seems to pop up every couple days now as opposed to everyday, still annoying when it happens. Also, I've also been experiencing a sudden crash of game, and when I reload game this same bug pops up. Only way to get game to boot is to restart computer. This is some serious programming error with dynamic memory and needs to get fixed pronto.
    Besides this avenue, is there another offical way to report bugs like this? I can provide more detailed dump files if necessary, etc.

    Started happening on my side, since the Wardrobe Update (June 4th), got Windows 10 64-bit, 16 gb ram.

    And that got me a 30 min Onslaught ban... :(

    This is indeed happening more often recently from what I can tell by community reports. Happened to me twice recently, and let me elaborate on it:
    * The first time I played some battles beforehand (including royals) and possibly had a lot stuff running in background
    * Second time was just 2 evening ago - I ran demanding software in background, which reserved a bit of memory and hard drive space (other than the game uses)

    My suggestion here is to turn off unneeded background programs and restart the game before going Onslaught as safety steps. For those with low-end rig, like the main post - I'd suggest switching to displaying others in robes only or/and limit amount of people displayed in town.

    Update :

    Still happening, I don't open anything else than what I usually open when I play (Music player, Firefox), and it happens after hours being opened.

    And I'm up to my 4th OS ban. :)

    Edit: I only needed to play 6 OS rounds to get the error. That is, restarting game before playing OS, 6 games, and got the error (while leaving OS game luckily)... so massive memory leak in OS?
