Game crash at scene 11 only in adhoc

romma

Hi guys,

Whats the common mistakes or issues that can cause a game to crash when entering a scene? This only happens to my adhoc version.

Thanks!z

could be a bad rule somewhere

look for a look rule, usually change scene clears some memory so it does not sounds like you accumulated lots of memory, unless you are hitting some kind of a memory leak.

Did you test it with the Viewer?

usually it has to much going on, try getting rid of unused actors,images, and code

Its an action scene, but not much going on to be honest. The crash happens when you go from scene to scene.

Thanks guys, it must be that. A rule. I thought jt was maybe a common thing.

iPad 1 or older iPhone? What you are describing sounds exactly like a too much memory issue. It can sneak up on you because of non-optimal graphic sizes, using animation or image swapping, timers, constrains, etc. But it usually is the graphics or animation/image changes in my experience.

Two things:
1) Check how much memory you are using by running the game through the GS viewer. You'll see the memory change as you go from scene to scene.
2) Uncheck "preload images" on all your actors. By not forcing preload, you allow the memory management to clear space as needed. At least that's how it seems to me. If this fixes it, then just try to optimize your memory usage using the techniques that can be found in this forum..
