effect causing runtime error?

Message Severity: 3
.\Memory\RedMemory.cpp(538)
Allocating 192 bytes failed - no free blocks left in Heap 5 (Runtime)

Its obvious this is crashing my map, and the only recent change is me making a custom effect.
why is this?

You're over the memory limit the game has. Try removing stuff until it works again. You might have just one asset that's being a big resource hog.

it was the effect, something was definatly wrong with it.
I manually removed the last emitter from the .fx file, and resaved in PE and its back.

Huh. Was the effect really long or complicated? There's not much memory that's allocatable to FX.

not overly, but it jumped from about 12 kb to 56 or something, and when I opened it there were several lines that where excessively repeated.
