Hi faark,

thanks for pointing me to the LOD-log, here is the dropbox link for my latest LOD- and output log:

If you need further information just say so and I shall deliver if possible.

Thanks for your support!

Hey,

jop, that's an OutOfMemory. Check out the latest version. It supports compressed images and will hopefully reduce the memory usage quite a bit.

Aside that it might be a good occasion to improve LODs behavior when running out of memory. Stopping any loading, wait til textures are released, then re-try to load might be the best way to handle it. This should be signaled to the user, though. I'll look into it. So far I don't see any actual bugs, at least.

Ah, thank you! Will try it later :)

I like the way you want to improve the texture loading process, but, from my experience with other games, with a large enough modlist the user will likely have a rather underwhelming experience due to waiting time... just out of curiosity, is there a way of doing it on the fly like you're doing it now but purge the memory after a specific texture is used? ....just my 2 cents

Okay, tried it, was able to squeeze NP and KW -albeit pruned- in my mod collection 😀 thanks again, i'm happy and golden 😊
