If you could be more descriptive about what your issue is, I might be of more help. But in general I guess, are your images 72dpi, are the sizes powers of 2 or divisible by 4 for resolution independence, are the images as small as they can be to fit on your actors or are you shrinking them down in Gamesalad? If the problem is just with that one scene you could try starting a new project and redoing that scene from scratch to see if you still get a problem, as there might be a bug in your original project. Other than that if you have project optimiser, you could just run it through that.

-72dpi. Good
-Resolution Independece. Good
-Divisible by 4. Good
-My images are not shrinked by GS. Good

My images folder is 12.1mb

use ImageOptim to see what png compression you can get

JlmC

Already used it.

I cropped them, and my usage its still awful

jonmulcahy

so are all your images at 960xx640? are you using them in a movie or something? That will kill performance.

how many images do you have? what are you doing with them?

Rob2

depending on content you can also get massive savings by using color reduction, ImageAlpha is good at that.

Do you have a rule that says

if this = this use this image?
and if so does it reference ALL your images even though there not used in the scene?

From what i understand even if you dont use the images in the scene. If an actor has a rule for them then it has to load them even if your not using them.

i had this problem with mini cannon.

4G = 116 MB
