Geom Data of Xx MB Exceeds Current Max Geom Buffer Size of Xyz MB

If you are getting an error when you start EDGE that looks like: "plugin(dsp_speedtest3) : Geom data of 219MB exceeds current 'max_geom_buffer_size' of 200MB", then you have more model geometry than the program can fit into the memory pre-allocated for it and it will run very slow. To fix this, you will have to override the max_geom_buffer_size parameter and make it bigger. In your main EDGE directory, open the file called edge_settings.cfg. Find the line that starts with DOUG_SPEEDY_ARGS, copy it, and paste it into your $USERDATA/user.cfg file in the DEFINES block. At the end of the long argument list, add the option "-max_geom_buffer_size 300". The number has to be bigger than whatever number was printed in the error statement, but 300 should be good enough unless you have a very large number of rocks. So your updated user.cfg file should look like the following:

DSP_CONFIG
 {
    &hellip;

    DEFINES
    {
         &hellip;

         DOUG_SPEEDY_ARGS "-sun PLANET2_SUN . . . -max_geom_buffer_size 300"
    }
