DP allocates memory dynamically, there's no need to set a heapsize. Besides, 9999 is about 10MB... I think even old software Quake used more!

Well, your error sounds like a Darkplaces engine issue, but it could also be the video drivers... for system requirements, I'd say anything 5 years old or less with a graphics card should be able to play it. Even if it's older that should just cause lag, not a crash. Have you used the command -heapsize to give the game access to more memory?
Ie, Darkplaces -heapsize 9999 -game drake +map arcstart

Also make sure your Drake and Arcanum are in one and the same directory. As I said if all of this doesn't work out, there's a forthcoming update to all my maps.

Hi, yes, DarkPlaces supports the BSP2 format of Something Wicked (this was added after the release of Something Wicked).

What operating system / hardware?

Try FitzQuake - get the latest version here:
http://www.celephais.net/fitzquake/
It's generally really stable.

You can't load any Arcanum maps in any of those 3 engines?

Maybe there is something wrong with the version of Drake you have. The last released version of Drake comes with the map "Something Wicked This Way Comes" so you could try downloading that (https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/some … icked.html).

If you have a clean Quake directory, the latest Drake, Arcanum, the latest DarkPlaces, and have tried other engines, then I'm kind of stumped. Maybe a hardware or driver issue? What operating system are you using?

My DarkPlaces build is actually quite out of date (2012), but I just ran arcanum (arcstart) with no crash. Can you load arcanum1.bsp?

Can you load arcstart in any other engines?

I'll look into this; just so you know, even if you don't get this working now, I'm planning to release a (heavily tested, coop-supporting) compilation of all my maps some time this year.

for me appears in the console 'mod_loadmodel: model "maps/arcstart.bsp" is of unknown/unsuported type
couldn't load map maps/arcstart.bsp'
