Game ran out of memory terraria error tmodloader

Description

Whenever I tried to switch outside of tml using win+tab then switch back, the screen becomes white and the program itself stops responding, then there’s the error message «Game ran out of memory. You’ll have to find which mod is consuming lots of memory, and contact the devs or remove it.» This happens randomly when using win+tab, by that I mean sometimes it works fine but sometimes it crashes.
I do have a lot of mods installed/enabled, this includes: calamity (mod+music), thorium, luiafk, alchemistnpc (not lite), cheat sheet and veinminer.
My pc’s display is 3840×2160 and I run the game at 1920×1080
I have an extra memory chip installed so the total memory is 32GB, there’s no way a 2D pixel game can use up to 32 gb of ram, and the task manager proves it.
However, there’s an issue, the window resizes a few times before entering fullscreen. I’ve learned this from the following log messages:
«[13:22:42] [1/DEBUG] [Terraria]: Device Reset, Profile: HiDef, Width: 800 -> 1280, Height: 480 -> 720, Fullscreen: False -> True, Display: .DISPLAY1
[13:22:43] [1/DEBUG] [Terraria]: Device Reset, Profile: HiDef, Width: 1280 -> 1920, Height: 720 -> 1080, Fullscreen: True, Display: .DISPLAY1
[13:22:44] [1/DEBUG] [Terraria]: Device Reset, Profile: HiDef, Width: 1920, Height: 1080, Fullscreen: True, Display: .DISPLAY1″
These are always in the log file and the effect is noticeable too.

Does this affect it? Because I’m pretty sure it’s related.

I’m pretty sure it’s the game because this only happens when using win+tab. In some cases, this always happens when using win+tab. That means it never happens in-game, so it’s not actually the game running out of the memory, more like a bug which happens when resizing the window.

Client is completely normal, until:

[13:36:06] [1/FATAL] [tML]: Game ran out of memory. You’ll have to find which mod is consuming lots of memory, and contact the devs or remove it.

And then the error pops up

Steps to reproduce

Using win+tab to swtich between the game and other tabs opened. Then switch back into the game.

Expected behavior

It was normal before, the window still resizes before entering full screen and I can use win+tab whenever I want, even in multiplayer. It’s just after the most recent update, this issue keeps occuring.

Actual behavior

crash

Reproduction frequency

Sometimes it’s guaranteed , sometimes it doesn’t crash at all.

Additional Information

No, it just happens all the time.

Lastly, I do wanna know if it’s actually my pc and do I have to update my drivers.

edit: this also happens when i accidentally press the win key (only the win key nothing else)

and it seems that when the error pops up the game’s resolution is at like 800×600 or something

There is a bit of trouble when you try to run mods in Terraria. The game was made to run on its own and with the amazing work of the community, there are tons of content to be consumed including some quality of life improvements that only mods can do.

Running too many of these mods can cause Terraria to crash especially with texture changes.

There are mods like the “Legend of Zelda” or “Dragon Ball Terraria” that make the game run more things that were not accounted for by the developers. On some occasions, this will cause your game to crash.

Terraria is a bit (pun intended) different when it comes to allocating more RAM to a Steam game which will all be explained below.

This guide will teach you how to allocate more RAM to Terraria and run all the mods you can without crashing as long as they are compatible.

Explaining RAM or Memory Usage in Terraria

Just by the look of the game and how it is played, it should be easy to run for almost any RAM installed on your computer. Terraria is a 2D sandbox game that is quite similar to the old platformer games in the ’90s.

In short, Terraria should not take much of your total memory capacity. The game runs in 32-bit which means that the total memory that can be used for the game will be at 4GB.

With so many things going on at the same time, the game should still run perfectly fine. Even if you have a big base with automated switches for farming while being attacked by the Destroyer with 3 other friends (all happening on the same screen), it should still run fine.

In my personal experience, the only time you would need more RAM allocation for Terraria is when you have installed mods made by the community to add some quality of life features or adding more entertaining content to spice up your world.

Installing tModLoader 64-bit Through Steam

The tModLoader has already been implemented in the additional content side of Terraria. You can search for it in the Steam’s store and you will be able to download it for free if you have Terraria on Steam.

Download all the mods you want to load and make sure you are using tModLoader. It is basically the game’s mod manager to make things easier.

After finishing downloading and installing, you still need to do another download which is the 64-bit “mod” that you need to run with tModLoader.

How to Make Terraria Use More RAM

As previously mentioned, Terraria is a 32-bit game. That means the total memory used for the game will be maxed out at 4GB. That means If you go anywhere above 4GB, Terraria will run out of memory and crash.

The first step to give Terraria more RAM so you can use all the mods you want in the game is to modify your Terraria file to a 64-bit version. There is a simple way to do this and you will need to make a few installations and a folder to drag inside your installed Terraria folder.

Download the 64-bit tModLoader from the forums page and choose the appropriate (latest) version for your current Terraria version. Unzip the file “tML 64 (current Terraria version)” and choose a destination for the folder inside.

Open your tModLoader folder by looking through your installed Steam library folder. You can find it by going through Steam > steamapps > common > tModLoader.

If you are having trouble finding it, you can right-click the tModLoader directly in your Steam library. After right-clicking, go to manage and choose “browse local files”. This should open your tModLoader folder (it is worth noting that this is not your Terraria folder).

After opening the tModLoader folder, drag all the files from the unzipped file (64-bit tModLoader you downloaded from the forums) and paste it inside. You need to choose “replace all files” and finish the copy.

To check if it is working, you can open your tModLoader (not the Terraria game) to launch Terraria. It will open up a command prompt but you just need to wait for it to load everything.

Once it opens Terraria and starts loading your mods, you will see on the lower-left corner that it is running in 64-bit. It should look something like the picture above.

Conclusion

Once you are running the 64-bit version of Terraria, you should be able to give Terraria more memory to run as many mods as you can (of course, they have to be compatible with each other).

They have thousands of mods created by the community and it breathes new life into the game if you have already finished the standard version.

You can also account for hosting the server with your friends because you will need more RAM for hosting. The same concept goes in knowing how to allocate more RAM to a Minecraft server.

This is why changing Terraria to 64-bit is a must when you need to allocate more RAM to Terraria. Just remember that you need to wait for updates constantly for the tModLoader if ever Terraria updates their game again. Otherwise, you’re likely to experience tModLoader memory crash issues.

Terraria error system outofmemoryexception

При игре с модами через tModLoader объем допустимой памяти для модов составляет 4 ГБ, в гайде подробно описано как задействовать всё ОЗУ вашего ПК.
Так же это работает и для мультиплеера.

When playing with mods via tModLoader, the amount of allowed memory for mods is 4 GB, the guide describes in detail how to use all the RAM on your PC.
This also works for multiplayer.

Террария 32-битная игра и соответственно ModLoader тоже сделан под 32. В 32 битной системе нельзя задействовать больше 4 ГБ оперативной памяти.
Мы же с вами будем апать tModLoader в 64-разрядную версию.

Terraria is a 32-bit game and, accordingly, ModLoader is also made for 32. In a 32-bit system, you cannot use more than 4 GB of RAM.
We are going to up tModLoader to the 64-bit version.

PC Out of Memory Exception

x3n0ph0b3

Terrarian

I could really use some help with this one.

TL;DR my game crashes anywhere between a few hours and 10-15 minutes at a time.
It’s an out of memory exception while trying to resize an array.

I’ve lost a few good Ankh components and have begun save/exiting after I do anything important, but it’s becoming rather frustrating.

Edit: After a great deal of experimentation it appears to be because I’m using either Retro or Trippy lighting. The memory self-regulates at around 790 MB when using color or white lighting, but Retro and Trippy cause it to steadily climb. The game crashes around 840 MB used.

Things worth noting:

• The game version is 1.3.0.4
• Crash still occurs on 1.3.0.5
• Cloud synchronization is disabledalready.
• I’m on Windows 7.
• I am NOT using recompiled source/exe, this is a vanilla binary in every possible way.
• I am NOT using a 3rd party app, game launcher, mods, or anything of the kind.
• I am NOT running in compatibility mode.
• I am launching the game through steam.
• Occurence of exception is seemingly random; from the logs you can see that the time between crashes can be hours at a time, or as little as roughly 10 minutes.
• I haven’t been able to deduce a specific trigger for the crash; «what I’m doing» at the time appears to be irrelevant.
• Edit: World size is SMALL, Type is Expert. I am playing single player.

Things I’ve tried:

• Only passes on a fresh install. According to a sticky thread, this is normal: one file fails and fails to be reacquired.
• Q: Steam has reported that one (1) file has failed verification and was downloaded?
• A: This file is known as the serverconfig.txt file. Originally this file shouldn’t be packed with the game as Terraria should create this file automatically on launch if it is missing or out of date. Due to it being changed and updated by server owners, the file will constantly fail the verification process. This has no effect on playing the game, and can be ignored.

Option/settings:

• Video frame skipping enabled
• Multicore lighting disabled
• Lighting trippy
• Full screen Resolution 1920×1080

Hardware:

• CPU i7 quad [chipset idk]
• GPU Nvidia GTX 760
• RAM 8 GB
• HDs 128 GB SSD and 4 TB Hybrid Drive

Terraria saves/windows install is on a 128 GB SSD
Steam drive is on a 4 TB Hybrid Drive

Software:

• .NET Framework 4.5.2, last I checked.
• XNA installed, I forget the version. I will check it when I get home.
• Terraria is through steam, it is very much a legal copy.

Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Bump and notes:
I had the .NET framework 4.5.2 for work (I’m a .NET developer) and it appears to be a different version than the one Terraria wants to download by default (Framework 4 Client Profile and Framework 4 Extended). Not sure if the exact dependency matters, but it might.

I’ve reinstalled XNA, looks like it downloaded the same one I had already.

Moved my Terraria game directory to the C drive (Terraria gets to be special, the rest of my steam apps are on D).

Updated my video drivers to the latest for my card.

Tweaked my NVidia settings for Terraria optimization:

The Avast quarantine did not contain a Terraria executable, so it looks like I’m not having the same Antivirus issues everyone else is. Binary is there and it’s intact.

I will add to this post if the crash persists, with more information/logs.

Having the same issue. Win 7 (64-bit) 4GB RAM. Plenty of hard drive space and no cpu issues.
I usually can get the game going with Video background turned OFF and Video quality set to LOW. Resolution 1280×962, lighting COLOR. Sometimes can play for hours without a crash.
But today for some reason it crashes immediately after it finishes loading. I’ve tried launching several times to no avail.

I am trying to load a LARGE world, that is not saved to the cloud. I can successfully load a small world that I just created.

When it crashes I get the popup error screen. My perfmon shows Terraria exe memory consumption rapidly grows and at crash state, is top memory user with over 1,100,000KB.
When I start playing I’m careful not to have any other apps running. Today I even tried killing off some processes and stopping unnecessary services in order to free up more memory.

I was able to get past the out of memory crash by increasing my virtual memory page file size.
It was originally configured to be managed by windows and was allocated to around 4085 MB despite showing a recommended size of 6127MB.
Since I have a lot of available disk space I changed it to custom size with min of 6127 MB and max of 8170. I’m not an expert on this setting so please do your own research on its usage.

I also set resolution to 1280×1024 (my display’s recommendation), color to Retro (yields smother movement for me), left quality LOW and background OFF, and Parallax zero. In addition I set Multicore lighting to 2 since I have a dual core cpu — not that I noticed any difference.

Note that the game still crashes on occasion during play and sometimes on load, so I think there is still a memory leak that gets triggered under certain unknown conditions.

I haven’t played extensively with this configuration change so not sure how successful it will be. If the crashes are still really frequent and disruptive I’ll try to add another post.

My «fix» was simply not to use retro/trippy lighting as they are responsible for the memory issue, pretty much single handedly. With white/color lighting I can max my resolution (1920 x 1080), max the texture quality, frame skipping off (vsync and triple buffering enabled in NVIDIA ctrl panel), no multicore lighting (not even sure what it does) and I’m crashless. The moment I turn on retro (my preferred lighting) or trippy (my second favorite), the memory issues return.

Also bear in mind at the time of the crash I’m nowhere near my ram’s capacity, the game simply refuses to go beyond a certain point of memory usage. Speaking to Shockah/Poro/modders in general reveals that you can’t uncap Terraria’s throttled memory consumption. Increasing your page file is a supplemental allocation for memory usage, it would not fix this particular problem. I have ample RAM for Terraria to avail itself to, regardless of my page file size. Terraria is simply [strictly] limited in how much it can use.

Hello! By «again» I meant that this is a very common bug I’ve stumbled across this forum and etc.
But I still haven’t found the solution yet, ran out of ideas and begging you guys for help!
Haven’t played this game mb in 5 years and wanted to check all the new thigs out but the game will give me this same crash every half an hour or so, can’t even cross the map with that time!

My specs are very high for a game like this:

Clean Steam version, no mods no none (with GOG it’s the same problem actually too)
Windows 10 Pro 64 (fully updated even) (tried to run in compatibility mode too)
GTX 1070
4k monitor (tried all resolutions and window/fullscreen options — nothing)
AMD Ryzen 5 2500X overclocked at 4.0
AMD Radeon R9 Gamer Series 16GB of RAM (3200Mhz)

Updated all of my drivers, xna, net., nvidia, nothing helps

Only time I’ve played for more than an hour is with TMod, because I think it runs in 64bit and gives terraria all of mine 16gb of ram

Literally have no clue how to fix it, maybe simple changes in the settings will do, but I tried almost all of them combined.

Thanks in advance!
