Anyone experienced a gradual slowdown running JDoom after a while until it finally chokes their machine? When it happens to me there's a lot of hard disk activity before I have to do a hard reset, and then I get reports of lost clusters on my Doom drive (not the same as my Windows drive, so I'm guessing JDoom makes it's own swapfile). JDoom is so cool-looking I want it to run and and run and etc. http://forums.newdoom.com/ubb/smile.gif Great work!

Oh yeah, I just run 3Dfx.bat file as-is.

Oops, sorry I just updated to version 0.83, seems to be behaving much better.

Is there a command switch to increase memory usage so I can avoid Z_Malloc errors? I didn't see anything of this nature in the docs.

The Z_Malloc error is caused by not having enough texture memory for the md2 models to load in.

See the "Instructions" page at my JDoom resource for help and other tips.
