[CS/HL25] Fatal Error After Multiple Resolution Changes

[0Ky]

Description

I'm encountering a fatal error in both Counter-Strike 1.6 and Half-Life when I change the in-game resolution multiple times. I'm assuming this affects all GoldSrc engine based games. The issue arises when I try to adjust the resolution settings several times in a single session. After a few changes, the game crashes and displays a fatal error message stating, Unable to allocate 128.00 MB. This issue is persistent and reproducible.

I've just encountered this issue again in Half-Life build 19:06:31 Oct 7 2024 (10210), all I did was run the _restart command while in a local server. Unfortunately, it is difficult to reproduce.

Note: I had more than 8GB of unused memory.

See if you can reproduce the error with 512mb heapsize (-heapsize 524288), I think the old limit was 128mb(now default).
