First Fatal Error by runtime Environment

[urbies]

Can anyone please tell me how to debug errors like this?

This is where it happens:

So it's most probably a memory allocation failure, meaning you're out of memory. Mind you, this is not java heap space, this is some other weird memory that lives outside the JVM that is used to communicate with drivers.

I've had similar bugs before, I got fatal errors. Here's my journey:

So, this could be a memory leak, or insufficient memory. I think you roughly get the same amount of off heap space, as you get heap space, so setting a very large heap space might help.

If you turn on lwjgl debugging:

Configuration.DEBUG.set(debugAll);
Configuration.DEBUG_STREAM.set(System.out);
Configuration.DEBUG_MEMORY_ALLOCATOR.set(true);
Configuration.DEBUG_STACK.set(true);

You might be able to get something. What's great with that thing is that it will print un-released memory if you exit the application, so you can try and exit your game at certain points to make sure you clean everything up after you.

This ended up being a memory buffer that did not call MemoryUtil.memFree

            if (colourBuffer != null) {
                MemoryUtil.memFree(colourBuffer);
            }
