    It's running out of memory because it's 32-bit and 32-bit processes can only use up to 2GiB of userspace memory. It's conceivable that whatever you're doing has ballooned the game's memory requirements that high.

    Download the 64-bit version: https://powdertoy.co.uk/

    Edit: If you still get crashes from the 64-bit version or it starts hogging system memory (you'll notice, don't worry), please report it here.
