Aight, i need some help here, every now and then i get this error popping up at the end of the game, and at rare random in game occasions:

Hunk_Allocatetempmemory: failed on some_numbers_here

If i understand correctly, quake coughs up this error when it has insufficient memory allocated to process whatever crap it wants to process. The weird thing is i have 512 megs of ram and 2 gigs of virtual memory set up. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

try to set higher com_hunkmegs
try it in steps incrementing by 2 until you wont get that error

if problems wont disappear then it can be also some physical problem with your hw like bad memory sectors
