Out of Memory Error

[Obscura]

For some reason a few players are encountering an "out of memory" error when playing through a certain scene, at different points in the scene. I can't seem to replicate this, and it doesn't happen for everyone, so I'm having difficulty pinpointing the problem.

The two sprites are such that they're often rotated and angled throughout the scene. Each sprite has multiple expression/clothing layers. Each layer is 1640 × 2460. All .png.

Example where the error occurs:

Code: Select all

label twins_jesse_appears:
    $jessebigs ("arch","normal","talk")
    $hughbigx ("nervous","left","line")
    show jessebig onlayer sprites at overleft
    with fade

Another example where the error occurs:

Code: Select all

show hughbig onlayer sprites at overright with dissolve
$hughbigx ("up","shock","happy")
hugh "Got 'em!"
$jessebigx ("up","down","line")
show jessebig onlayer sprites with dissolve:
zoom 1.00 

The code for the transforms:

Code: Select all

transform overleft:
   xpos -270
   ypos -420
   rotate 47
        
transform overright:
   xpos 300
   ypos -450
   rotate -45
        
        

The code for one of the sprites is below. (The other sprite is similar.)

Code: Select all

# initialize side sprite
  def jessebigs(brow,eye,mouth):
     global jesse_brow,jesse_eye,jesse_mouth
     jesse_brow,jesse_eye,jesse_mouth=brow,eye,mouth

image jessebig:

        ),

        (0,0), ConditionSwitch(

        ),
        (0,0), "sprites/jesse/brow_%s.png"%(jesse_brow),

One player's error report:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Am I correct in thinking the rotates and zooms are too much for some systems? It only seems to happen to some players, and I'm not sure why (maybe their video card?) This only seems to happen if you reach this point through the longer main game, and not the shortcut. Would it help if I created a separate batch of images that are already rotated where they need to be, so Renpy doesn't need to rotate them?

Oh, I should add the original was compiled in 6.99. I'll be recompiling using the latest version (7.1.3)...maybe that will solve the memory issue...

[Imperf3kt]

Might be worth chucking in a renpy.free_memory()
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/other.ht ... ree_memory

[Obscura]

Thanks, Imperf3kt!

I'm afraid I'm a complete noob at using that command. My search turned up a few forum posts didn't turn up anything about the basics. Do I simply add it to the beginning of a scene?

And not sure if it matters, but:

Code: Select all

config.predict_screens = False
config.predict_screen_statements = False

because the game was created in an earlier version of the engine and some of the dissolves and transitions started doing odd things when I turned on prediction.

[Imperf3kt]

I've never used it, but I assume you'd just use a python one liner shortly before the problems show.

[Obscura]

Gotcha, I'll fiddle around with it. Thank you!
