Out of memory Error

[johN.]

I have 8gb of Ram in my computer. Everytime I go to make a game it says out of memory. Please do not tell me to uninstall Delete regedit reboot and reinstall... that did not work... Is there a fix for this or am I just wasting my time.

This might be from too many object instances in your game, try running your game in test mode(red arrow) if the instance count keeps rising then you have a problem with your game. Make sure you destroy your object instances when they are no longer needed.

He's right. I am not here because of the same error, I just read his comment. I was trying to write a script that would fill a room of 32*32 blocks equally. This was dependent on every 32 on a variable. The variable didn't slow down and went over 1000k. Talk about a gamebreaker.

It's simple, you have a memory leak. Whether it's game maker or some other program, you'll have to find out.

I think I've managed to get to 1,000 instances without breaking a game. The issue of slow down is from scripts. Especially if you have the debug text or unnecessary while / for statements that don't increase or end. That will break Game Maker and not just your game. You'll need to restart Game Maker then.
