Now that my map has become rather full, sometimes the screen freezes in Test Game. There is no error message and the audio, etc. carry on. It freezes permanently.

Possibly you have exhausted the video memory. What video card do you have?

Cheers.

Take a lot to fill that then. Maybe a bad script. Pretty difficult to tell with just a ‘full level’. How many entities ? You could try to enable logging and also memory dump to see if it gives any clues. Do any of the ‘tab’ bar monitors max out before the freeze?

Cheers.

How do I do those two thing Cybernesence? I have several issues I'd like to investigate further. . .

I am not sure how to do all that either.

My draw calls bar is quite maxed out.

I’m not at PC but something like producelogfiles - set that to 1 in setup.ini. Also there is another ini setting dumpmemory or textures or something like that which will list all textures loaded and sizes when set to 1 instead of 0.

Cheers.
