Try a dif cliente just to start.

Use can use the original stock Kaillera Client.

From what I see in the first picture, you have the stock client and Supraclient opened at the same time. Make sure you’re using the Kaillera client of your choosing within the same process of the emulator.

I’d also suggest trying the p2p client. It works for connecting to the server too (Sure everyone knows that already) but I’ve found it to be the least error rendering of the clients i’ve used thus far.

Been about two months since i’ve seen the retarded “bad memory” error.
