| Summary | 0005124: Fatal Error | ||||
| Description | I just got another Fatal Error message (in shallow ocean region), this one was worse than the first one because I wasn't able to exit the game afterwards through the menu. I had to use task manager to kill it. Attached the error files. | ||||

Hmm, another out-of-memory. How long had you been playing, and how much memory did it say it was using in task manager (if you looked at that part of the screen while killing the process). |

Not sure the exact date, but I think the game had been released for about a week when I started playing. (I've been playing the same save the whole time) I'm around lv 126 now. I can't remember how much memory it was using, if it happens again I'll make sure to make note of it. |

Thanks! * Previously it was still possible for the mono garbage collector to suicide itself during save operations if it had to resize a large buffer and the transient memory happened to be too low at the time. ** At core, this is a bug in the way that unity 3d handles lack of heap space, and it's something that we've had to work around with all our games during memory-intensive operations (rather than just garbage collecting automatically any choosing to get on its day -- which it could easily do -- the engine instead throws a fatal error and dies if you use more than 800MB of heap space). ** Preventative code has now been put in place to prevent these sorts of errors during buffer resizings, basically forcing a GC collection if there is more than 500MB of heap currently in use just to be on the safe side. And thanks in particular for the ErrorsReportedByEngine.txt -- that almost NEVER actually has any real information in there from an out of memory crash, but in this case it actually pointed me right to where the memory went over. Thanks for that! |
