Why does it say "Out of memory"?

  1. Hello. I am using RPG Maker VX ACE, and I have a bit of a problem. Whenever I try to do most of the actions within the program (such as create a new game), I get an error message saying "Out of memory". This has been happening from the moment I downloaded this application. Since I do not have a Windows computer, I am using a program called Wineskin to run this application on my Mac. Does anyone know what's causing this? Is there a way to fix this? Could it be caused by being run on a Windows emulator for Mac? I'd appreciate it if someone would get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you.
  2. In this case, it is not about Ace development but about technical support to get the program to run, so

    Your problem here is that the program you're using is basically creating a virtual windows machine. Whenever a VM is created (no matter which program does this), the VM gets assigned part (never all) of the computer's physical RAM.
    And it sounds as if it isn't assigning enough memory for Ace.

    An additional problem is that the VM itself needs memory to run, so depending on your computer there might simply not be enough RAM available to run the editor - but you can try and check if you find the settings for the RAM and see if you can increase it.

    That said, I would also suggest you look into buying RMMV and converting your game from Ace to MV (there is a converting script available).
    For MV there is a native MacOS-editor available (currently only through steam), and MV can deploy not only to both Windows and MacOS, but also to mobile and Web. That would give you a lot of advantages over Ace on your Mac.
    Unfortunately you just missed a sale for it, so it'll be a while before it goes on sale again...
