Steam crashed while downloading killing floor, claimed "out of memory" assertion.

The following was spit to stderr/stdout:

I have 32 GB of memory, I certainly doubt that all of my memory was exhausted. Then again if I'm not mistaken it is a 32 bit application, so a little under 4 GB is probably a bit easier to exhaust.

Should I upload the dump?

[gdrewb-valve]

We should have the dump here as it looks like it was successfully sent to Valve. Unfortunately it won't tell us what was using up all of the memory, we'll need to repro.

[KungFuJesus]

Not sure exactly what I did to reproduce, it was all mostly in the Steam client's UI. I was browsing the store a bit, it crashed when I left it unattended for the download, though.

[KungFuJesus]

Does that dump include a meaningful backtrace for you? Is there anyway for me to produce one should this happen again?

[KungFuJesus]

It looks like I managed to produce it again after the client was open for a little while and I selected a different game under the libraries menu:

This happened after playing CS:S for a bit and then going back to the library menu. Sorry there aren't more precise steps to reproduce this just yet. I can add that I had been switching which monitor the steam client resided on. I'm using twinview with the Nvidia drivers.

[KungFuJesus]

I think I found a unique but similar way to crash the client. If I switch back and forth between games in my library menu fast enough long enough the client outputs the following:

CAPIJobRequestUserStats - Server response failed 2 CAPIJobRequestUserStats - Server response failed 2

When that happens the debugger tries to launch and crashes with a segmentation fault.

[gdrewb-valve]

The backtrace in the dump is fine, but it doesn't necessarily show the problem, just a random allocation that hit once memory had been exhausted somewhere else.

[gdrewb-valve]

I didn't have any problem pulling down the game. Does this happen every time you download Killing Floor?

I couldn't repro a crash with switching games either. That's been reported in the past so you aren't the only person who's seen it, but we haven't been able to repro here.

[KungFuJesus]

I can reliably reproduce the latter bug every time. All I have to do is hold the down key in the libraries menu to quickly cycle through the games. I could likely produce video though I'm not sure how much that would help.

[MrSchism]

Duplicate of #813.

[gdrewb-valve]

I hold-down-arrow'ed through all 2,000 games without an issue. There was a similar bug that was fixed a couple of months ago, but you shouldn't be hitting it any more. I would go ahead and open a separate issue for that as this original post issue is a duplicate of #813, as @MrSchism comments.

[KungFuJesus]

It just occurred to me that I likely had the "Downloads" window open in steam while Killing Floor was downloading. My steam memory usage is at ~1.2GB right now and rising, and my "String Page Texture" sizes are rising. I'm ignorant as to what those are but they growing as high as 18MB.

Could this be the memory leak?

[KungFuJesus]

It seems to be running away with memory on this screen

I'm now at ~1668MB and growing while on that screen.

This is better posted on #813.
