Almost definitely a high-RAM-usage issue. There are a couple of fixes for that in the next version, which should resolve your issue. Your specific issue was just a downstream problem of being low on RAM, rather than a bug in its own right per se. Thanks! * Fixed a very substantial memory allocation issue where sprite batches could be up to 4000 large, but this was causing too many intermediate-sized batches and other complicated issues there. After some experimentation, reducing the maximum batch size to 250 sprites per batch leads to actually a slight performance gain in high-load cases (less CPU work), at the cost of only a few more draw calls (40-something added in Chris's test case were it had 80 prior to that, and was batching 24,000, so that's hardly anything). ** This was actually responsible for some really incredible amounts of RAM usage that would spike the game up to the point it would eventually crash. In particular during mapgen this was the issue, but also during extended play sessions your RAM would likely creep up over time and kill your machine. But if you do experience this again in the next version, please do let me know! |
