Third party product(s) : Rebel Assault
Subject
"Error: Cannot allocate buffer of size XXXXXX" when running Rebel Assault or
upon exiting the game.
Description
User may encounter the above-mentioned error message when running Rebel
Assault or upon exiting the game. The reason is Rebel Assault requires at least
4 Mb of free XMS to run correctly. An indication of whether you have enough
free memory to run the game is by checking the calibration screen of Rebel
Assault, which appears after clicking "Play Rebel Assault" from the setup/launch
menu. The sound buffer size should be 700000 bytes or more.
Solution/Action
This error message can be eliminated by increasing XMS size by disabling any
memory manager in the CONFIG.SYS file.
It is also recommended in the Rebel Assault manual that memory mangers
should not be used to run with this game as it will slow down the game and
cause sound/animation synchronisation problem.
