Memory usage while running app?

Hey guys,

Some users of our game have said that when they open the app, the internal memory usages shoots up so much that they’ve had to uninstall the app. Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks!

You probably should put in some print statements to show your memory usage and watch the console log and see what’s going on.  There are plenty of reasons for your memory to skyrocket like loading a large texture image.

What is considered “large”? 2048x2048?

2048x2048 is considered fairly large, but probably not so much to blow an app’s memory so high and force people to uninstall it (unless the app is loading many images this size). Of course it depends on the device too… some older devices can’t load textures beyond this size.
