Problem Description

I'm using a placeholder project just to show the extreme amounts of RAM a simple example can use. The example provided in the preview debug says it's using just 50mb of memory, and when I export with Web Nodekit, it skyrockets to 300mb of memory used, in Windows 7 64 and OSX 64. That number is much, much bigger for my full project, where I only have 2 2048x1536 images, and 2 512x512. No other asset is more than 128x128. That project blows up to 1.1 gb of RAM memory used when exported and opened in Mac and Win, while the preview debug in C2 says less than 50mb usage.

Attach a Capx

Attached using Scirra forum upload attachment

Description of Capx

Simply shows 4 2048x1536 images. When you export to win64 using that .capx, the RAM usage is 300MB, when in preview, only 50mb

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Step 1 - Preview and see RAM usage
• Step 2 - Export for Win and see RAM usage

Observed Result

Very high RAM usage on desktops

Expected Result

Either to use as much as preview debug says, or around that number, not 6x times more RAM.

Affected Browsers

• Chrome: (YES/NO)

Operating System and Service Pack

OSX with Parallels Windows 7

Construct 2 Version ID

Latest r195 with latest Web Nodekit

Hi everyone,

I'm having a difficult, recently discovered problem here.

My game is massive, probably around 400-500-600 MB range, although at the moment its <200MB, but when I start it up, I see RAM usage spike to 1GB sometimes. The VERY peculiar thing is, that my game loads only about 100MB worth of assets at one time. The rest I recall by using Load From URL, they are in files, and are not loaded into the onScreen area.

What the hell is using so much memory? It's even using this amount of memory when inside the Menu screen, which is basically around 40 MB uncompressed in total.

My game is predominantly reading, large 2048x1536 res scenes (only 2 at one time, one scene) and small items, many of them.

What could be sucking so much memory?

Thank you for reading through, and if you help, I will create a little shrine for you to worship you forever.

PS: I'm not minifying my export, could that play a role?

PPS: In preview, it's only using 50MB MAX, anywhere, at any time. And on export, it explodes to 1gb. Please help?

It works perfectly, thanks !

thanks spongehammer , will check it out

File size might vary to about 300 though... still too early to know for sure

newt, sorry, was a bit sleep deprived when I wrote it. I changed it now

MultipleChoice I'm able to export .exe, but was wondering if there is a compiler that could compile all those separate files into one .exe , something similar to the .app on OSX which works perfectly.

Holy shhh* the title is awful, and I apologize. Should try to sleep before writing anything here Will attempt to rephrase it.

I searched the forum and only found a paid version, or a way to make a setup process which I don't need (since I can use Innosetup to do all that)

Is there a free way to package my game all into one .exe that can be played directly by opening it? I'm basically looking for what there is for OSX webkit export (the .app) but for Windows

If not just one .exe, then what's the least amount of files generated into the folder? How to do that? Since we have about 500mb worth of assets, a bunch of images, we'd also like to make them not simply copy-pasteable out of the project.

Thank you for the time good sirs and madams.

gizmodude4 thanks dude, gizmo dude.. 4. I will search for this plugin from u/cranberrygame

Does the notification work even without an internet connection on your phone?

Im interested in an answer for this too. Any kind souls out there with knowledge?

I would love to ditch my glitchy Parallels windows experience for a native Mac Construct 2. Where do I sign/pay?

Thank you Ludei!!!!
