"compiler limit: internal heap limit reached"

Development Programming & Scripting C++

I just upgraded to a 12 core Ryzen 9 and it seems like Unreal is losing it’s marbles trying to compile with 24 processes all at the same time. But it’s running out of heap space when it tries as I’m still using 16GB of RAM.

Is there any way to limit the number of compiler threads?

Create a BuildConfiguration.xml file…

https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/…ion/index.html

…with something like this:


[FONT=Courier New]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Configuration xmlns="https://www.unrealengine.com/BuildConfiguration">
  <BuildConfiguration>
  </BuildConfiguration>
  <LocalExecutor>
    <MaxProcessorCount>12</MaxProcessorCount>
  </LocalExecutor>
  <ParallelExecutor>
    <MaxProcessorCount>12</MaxProcessorCount>
  </ParallelExecutor>
</Configuration>

This is ridiculous. I don’t have these issues with 5.2.1 for source build. But 5.3.1 I am facing this issue

Update : It worked like a charm
