Does Blockland require memory allocation?

[SWAT One]

Okay, so let me begin by giving a scenario that often happens.

I start by running Blockland and easily get to the main menu screen as it is supposed to do, and nothing is out of order UNTIL I do some sort of process that causes the game to crash, this is usually when I query the server list or am loading a game with a moderate to high level of Add-Ons, which generally means a lot of activity and data transfer.

I switched to a Macbook Pro and installed a Windows 7 partition on the side that runs Blockland.  Currently, I have 86.2/185 GB available on this partition.  However, this should be plenty of room to run Blockland.  What I'm worried about, is if there is some kind of memory allocation issue.  For instance, to all Minecraft users, at some point, the game may run out of memory, and the game may have to be restarted entirely in order to continue playing.  Does Blockland have some sort of cap on the amount of local data I use on my computer?  I never had this problem with any previous computers, and I was able to host about five servers with a large amount of Add-Ons before this problem even came up on this installation.

Also, could having too many processes running at the same time be disrupting this?

Well for starts, Windows uses the dedicated RAM that every PC has. How much ram do you have on your computer, you said you had a mac book pro so I am guessing you have 4GB, which is more than enough for Blockland or any game. The only time windows will use your hard drive as a source of memory is when you run very low on the actual RAM, however people still get blue-screens because the time it takes for the hard drive to transfer the memory to the RAM sticks takes too long (im not sure if thats exactly how it works but I think its something like that, someone correct me if I am wrong).

Try uninstalling Blockland completely, and when starting a game dont click around on the screen, even if the screen looks like its doing the "not responding" thing just dont click on the screen. Holding "ctrl" when loading sometimes helps, this only works on windows.

No. You should post your console log because your problem is unrelated to that.

Interesting.

Well for one, it never says the "not responding" message.  It just goes straight to "Blockland has stopped working."  The thing is, it happens every time when I try to query servers.

  Holding "ctrl" when loading sometimes helps, this only works on windows.
Will try that.

Previous topic, addressing the same problem, with a different theory to the problem.  What continues to confuse me is that there is no sign of any errors causing it to fail.  The process just stops, which is why I wonder if it is a memory problem.

Update:  When clicking the "Join a game" menu, everything crashes immediately.  I'm going to attempt a reinstall.

I posted in your old topic.

Maybe you have some kind of memory error or something, there are ways to do tests. Usually if your motherboard is rather new and updated, BIOS menus now have a memory test program in them, you can try and run it.

No, it's because of an add-on. Look at the topic he linked to.
