Crash Loading Kashan AAS Std 1.6.2.3

Game crashes when loading map (Kashan AAS Standard) at ~60%. If I switch to windowed mode, sometimes it lets me load, and other times it generates the error window.

Key Text: Debug assertion failed! Failed to create effect: Ran out of memory. Usually this happens at 60 or 62% loading.

Definitely not system memory as I have 32GB RAM and task manager doesn't show it going anywhere. Maybe page file as it is system-managed and usually just sits at 2GB. Potentially running out of memory available to 32bit programs, though not sure how to address that.

This seems to only affect Kashan AAS Standard layout. I believe I was able to play either the Alt or large layout okay, and all other maps work fine.

Sometimes, windowed mode will let me load in properly. I'm still testing variables, but it seems like reducing textures to medium helped.

Things that didn't seem to help: reducing dynamic shadows or lighting, reducing sound from ultra high to high, enabling LODs.

I've copied over the entire PR game folder from another computer that loads Kashan fine, so it's probably not a corrupted file.

Re: Crash Loading Kashan AAS Std 1.6.2.3

Is it fully reproducible? If yes get me a dump file so I can see which effect breaks

Yup tried again today with similar results. I also tried AAS Large and that loaded fine so something particular about AAS STD doesn't go well with my system.

See attached procdump.

For reference, here is the console readout to go with it:

Re: Crash Loading Kashan AAS Std 1.6.2.3

This issue is happening on my pc too.
Recently I changed the PC monitor and changed the resolution from 1920*1080 to 4k.
After that, kashan AAS Std had the same problem as sprint.
Sorry, I can't give you the PC specs and detailed error messages only on this weekend...
Probably Error message said "Ran out of memory".

Re: Crash Loading Kashan AAS Std 1.6.2.3

Can you try clearing shader cache and report back?
Launcher -> tools -> clear shader cache

Tried clearing shader cache. Seems like it didn't help with the problem.

Re: Crash Loading Kashan AAS Std 1.6.2.3

Does it only happen on Kashan or also on Khami? Those two maps are very similar.

Only Kashan AAS Std. Khami, and other Kashan layouts (at least large) seem to load fine.

Re: Crash Loading Kashan AAS Std 1.6.2.3

Can you run procdump with "-ma" instead of "-mm"? it'll be a couple of GB file

Do you have any special GPU drivers?

No special driver, basically whatever was available from the AMD website the last time I updated.

Tonight, the crashing also occurred on Kashan ALT. I was able to play with my regular graphics settings on Kashan ALT and Kashan STD after killing some background applications. Not sure if it was just just repeatedly trying to load until it works, or if clearing some memory helped. I'm definitely nowhere close to my 32GB memory capacity, but it's possible that BF2 only looks at the lower 4GB or something like that.

Here is a link to the dump with -ma.
