'Bad Allocation Error' When slicing

Updated to the new slicer and when I slice more complex or full plates of models I usually get a bad allocation error. Also says I may be reaching the limits of my RAM. 

Haven't run into this issue before but I did end up putting another 8GB of RAM in to see if that would help. 

Now I just get to the Error faster haha. 

Anyone have an idea what this may be and how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance!

RE: 'Bad Allocation Error' When slicing

Aren't you running a 32bit slicer on a 64bit machine?

Maybe you are generating a gyroid infill on a huge model?

It helps us the most if you open a ticket at https://github.com/prusa3d/slic3r/issues and provide as much as possible information to the issue, including your PrusaSlicer project file. Thank you.

Thanks - Yea I noticed last night that I'm running 32 bit slicer on a 64bit machine...cant find any other options when downloading the new slicer. There is just one button for the file. Am I blind?

I have to check with the guy who made the Windows installer. Did you install the drivers package, or did you install the zip file from github?

Running the 32bit on the 64bit machine was the problem. Found the correct version file on github. There you can select 32/64bit.

Doesn't look like you can choose if downloading from prusas site.

Odd. I installed from the drivers package from the Prusa site on my Win10 (Windows 10 Pro v1903) laptop and the installer correctly chose the win64 version:

Maybe there is something unique about your system that is confusing the installer. What version of Windows do you use?

I won't have access to the only Windows pre-10 (I forget if it is Win7 or Win8) that I've installed Plicer on until Monday to see which version was installed there, but I don't recall any errors being thrown when using it.

I run Win 7 x64 and the installer placed this on my machine:
