Hello GS'ers,

Does anyone have any tips to try and stop my game from crashing on my device? It works fine on the mac, not on the ipod. I have 3 different types of levels, and when I select any of levels, the game crashes. Any ideas how to fix this?

    have you tried using the viewer to see how much memory and such you are using? You prob also should check all of your rules. I think i've heard of a rule thats looking for an attribute thats not there crashing the game

    i would contact gamesalad suppport and send them your project to look at. I have the same problem with 2 different games and they always crash after about 150 seconds for no reason I can find. One game has been with GS support for a month and they have not been able to work out why yet.

    I haven't figured out how to get the GS Viewer installed yet. This is the first game i've made that has ever crashed, I don't know what i've done differently.

    If anyone in the forum is willing to test my game on their GS Viewer and let me know where the problem is, I would greatly appreciate it.

    I just gave it a test and figured out why its crashing

    In the easy, medium, and hard scenes, the RAM goes all the way up to 137MB. The limit is usually around 40-50MB on older devices and around 75MB for newer devices (ex.iphone4)

    Heres the data:

    Images: 92.8MB(!!!!!lol!!!!)
    Sounds: 130KB
    Games engine: 10.2 MB
    Other: 34.3MB
    Total 137.5MB

    As you can see, images are the major cause of the problem. Really try to work on optimizing it as much as you possibly can. When you're done doing that, feel free to send it back and ill let you know the new results

    Best of luck
