asm.js physics uses a fixed size memory buffer for maximum performance. Currently it's set at 16mb. I've increased it to 32mb for the next build so you can go twice as far before you get this error, but I can't just increase it to say 512mb because AFAIK it always uses that much memory, so we need to balance the memory overhead with the number of objects you can create.

Ok, thanks for the fix and explanations. In some projects the bug is still here when there's only few objects though.

After testing, the problem is not solved. I still get bugs with physic objects created on the fly.

Hello Reginaldoev,

I don't know if the problem is solved, but I remember that since I switched to the external physics plugin Chipmunk, which is better in some ways. You have more flexible collision conditions filtering for example, and collision groups with ids and hexadecimal. And that solved many obscur problems I had with built in physics behavior, box2D or asm.js.

So I encourage you to give a try.

Best regards, and happy Christmas !
