Description

Game boots and show some splash screens.
The intro shows only a black screen and the sound is distorted.

Right before this exception, this warning is shown in the log:

[0x28E0] WARN: Out of physical memory!

That message comes from the manager and indicates it has exhausted the main memory.

Running out of physical memory so early in, is a clear sign that our HLE code is leaking memory like crazy

for the sake of completeness, a log from the debug build:

@PatrickvL Indeed, the last attempted allocation comes from D3DTexture_GetSurfaceLevel2 which calls EmuNewD3DSurface and then g_VMManager.AllocateZeroed

With HLE disc error, with LLE in-game with low fps and the emulation stops after some minutes or a CreateSoundBuffer error
