  Solution to the Hunkmegs Error
This Page has been viewed 11,973 times


On occasion, after installing a new map, model or skin to your copy of Elite Force you can recieve an error message similar to one of the two seen below;

Hunk_Alloc failed on 480 with 304 free. Set com_hunkmegs to 48 to fix.

-or-

change /seta com_hunkmegs x to /seta com_hunkmegs 48


This error normally occurs when you have more files installed on your copy of Elite Force than there is availible memory when running the game. The following document contains three methods of correcting this issue and allowing you to load larger maps and better skins.

Solution

To resolve this issue, follow these methods in the order they are presented. Test after each method to determine whether it has resolved the issue.

Method 1: Allocate more memory to Elite Force

1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. Press the ` key to bring down the Console.
3. In the console, type /seta com_hunkmegs x where x is equal to half the amount of RAM in your computer.
4. Press the ` key to close the Console and exit the game normally. Do NOT type /quit in the console.
5. Open Holomatch again and the error message should no longer appear.

Method 2: Remove obsolete PK3 files

1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. Navigate to your BaseEF folder.
3. Delete any maps or skins that you no longer use.
4. Open Holomatch and the error message should no longer appear.

Method 3: Prevent rarely used PK3 files from being loaded into memory

1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. Navigate to your BaseEF folder.
3. Create a new folder called Backup.
4. Move any maps or skins that you use rarely but would still like to keep into the Backup folder.
5. Open Holomatch and the error message should no longer appear.


Further Information

When you open Elite Force, it loads up all the PK3 files from the BaseEF folder into the memory allocated for EF. Usually allocating more memory will do the job, but sometimes the amount of memory required exceeds the memory available, in which case you need to decrease the amount of memory required using the above methods.

Setting com_hunkmegs to more than half your RAM is not recommended, but some users have had success doing so. If you decide to setting com_hunkmegs to more than half your RAM, you do so at your own risk. The author of this article will not be held responsible for any adverse effects due to setting com_hunkmegs to more than half your RAM.
