I logged in to my Foundry character and selected my mission and clicked the edit button to start it up, and then it went to its loading page and crashed after a few seconds.

It gave me this error message:

Fatal Error: Failed to allocate memory: 15
Technical Details: Failed to allocate memory: Bin/Objlib.Bin: 15 92942064

I will try again and see if it happens again.

*EDIT 1: I had to use CTRL+ALT+DELETE and force shut down the game client after the crash because for some reason the process wouldn't end after the crash.

Now after re-starting the client, it is stuck at patching with no progress bar or percentage or estimated time. Just "Patching".

*EDIT 2: I got back in and tried the Foundry again. It crashed with the same exact error as before. Same thing, I log in to my Foundry character, select my mission, click on edit mission, and it patches for a while and then crashes.

I can play the game on the Holodeck server just fine, but whenever I try the Foundry it crashes now. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Your computer is running out of memory.
What are your system specs?

OS: Windows XP 64-Bit

CPU: Pentium T4200 @2.0 Ghz (dual-core)

RAM: 4GB of PC2-6400 (DDR2-800)

Video: ATI Radeon HD 4330 512MB

I have used the Foundry in the past with no problems. Did the Foundry get a huge update or something, and now I need a better PC?

Try closing out all non-essential background programs.

I got the Foundry working for me today. All I did was disable some printer software, though I don't think that would have made any difference.
