EDuke32 Problems

PC-48 · 04-13-2009, 09:26 AM

Ok so I have EDuke32 1.5.0devel 20090313 and I have Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition under games in the setup tab. After i click “Start” the program gets hung on: Resizing code buffer to 16187*4 bytes. After it stays on this screen for a little while I click on it and it just says (Not Responding). I have a decent computer and the funny thing is if I leave it alone eventually the game will pop up after around 7-8 minutes. Also I have tried to go into the .cfg files and delete anything with “ModDir” in it but that only helped one time. I'm posting my eduke32.log and my computer specs.

Sounds like the HRP is taking several minutes to load for some reason...

I have a similar problem which started after using HRP v4 (svn321). Not as drastic though. My delay happens randomly and usually only lasts about 30 sec to maybe a minute. My computer is slower than PC-48s, but I'm running XP.
My guess is that is has something to do with available memory.
Vista is a notorious memory hog. Couple that with some resource using background programs and antivirus programs, the result is slow load times.
