Applet seems to run out of memory oddly easily on switching worlds #10

Open Cervator opened 10 years ago

Cervator commented 10 years ago

While testing I routinely hit out-of-memory errors on creating or leaving worlds. This is with a version holding all stable modules. One example:

Maybe applets have a little more memory overhead or the browser's choice of JVM can end up with a 32-bit Java? Not too worried about it but wanted to report it none the less in case somebody else can reproduce or if we get user reports to the same effect.

We might be leaking previous worlds again, will have to check with YourKit later (basically the majority of memory should be freed after returning to menu).

  • Enabled all Throughout the Ages modules
  • Started TtA world
  • Crash!

Good idea, I'm sure we have other things to hunt down that way too :-)

I hadn't noticed it with normal execution of the game, just tried 6-7 worlds in one go from a local source workspace, no problem. Admittedly that's from source, not binary, and not with as many modules.
