That's an older build from my master branch. If it runs well your problems with GZDoom are due to a different configuration (HQ resize mode?).

I don't know if it's a bug but if it is then it's a GZDoom bug. Have you managed to reproduce it with GZDoom? Is that what you referred as "swear on ram"?
That devbuld is based on GZDoom's commit "3f9b9314a06ce61dfbc804e192308b5d40287d21". How much ram do you have? Seems GZDoom now requires more ram?
If you get the error with GZDoom please do a bug report.

Hmmmmmmmmm. Okay. I'll try to do that. However, I do not understand why GZDoom began to swear on RAM. I have 8 gb of RAM. I checked the new dev build of LZDoom on June 2nd. Things are good. No problems.

Forget it, GZDoom will crash as well. Probably it's a mod bug but i'm not sure, certainly now something works differently and i suspect what it could be. Could you check ram usage with the latest devbuid? Using task manager or a diagnostic tool that is.

I tried setting up RAM using Bios. I haven’t noticed any problems yet :)

I don't know what you're talking about, you could play for a while in a window and check ram usage in the windows task manager. With latest devbuild.

Really with PB 3.0? Modern versions take all the available ram. This doesn't look good.

I assume you mean to say that GZDoom somehow uses more RAM than LZDoom and that this prevents AfterDoom from playing with GZ.

If you just play GZ or LZ with stock Doom, does an issue occur?

It means he likely set RAM size to be used by the OS in the BIOS. But that does not affect GZDoom/LZDoom RAM usage.

The amount of feedback threads i see related to either Brutal Doom or Project Brutality is so omnipresent, i almost feel like the main developers behind these two mods should provide some feedback aswell.

LZDoom 3.8x certainly runs better but in Inferno city i get a ram usage of 900 MB after a short while and in 4.4pre it reaches 1.5 GB before i quit (only 4 GB of ram here). Seems It keeps spawning actors until it runs out of ram but the "janitor" works. Most likely it's a mod bug, i get a lot of warnings in the console. It should be the same AFAIK tough, i know something it's different and i've reverted to the old behavior (in theory the new approach is safe) and recycled that old PB fix shit i made some time ago but seems it makes no difference.
Check ram usage in this devbuild: https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/gzdoom-vi ... 077a823.7z

Why is SoftPoly so much slower than Software ?

Because it's a fully polygonal renderer, that cannot be as fast as the classic software renderer which had been designed for much slower hardware.
