My game uses ~ 2GB of image textures for 3D and UI elements. The packaged application sometimes crashes mysteriously where the last line logged is always “:gobj: Loading texture /path/to/texture/xxxxx.jpg”
I’ve tried wrapping the load texture call in a try-except but it does not help. What do you recommend I do to resolve this problem?
Can you show me the code?
I think you might have made done some mistake in the loader.loadModel() method. Maybe ‘path/to/texture/xxxxxxxx.jpg’ is wrong?
The reason for this is because try-except only solves errors. What you are telling is a warning. So it won’t be parsed with the try-except block
Actually, crashes can’t be caught by try…except because they are crashes in the C++ code, and do not generate a Python exception.
Can you reliably reproduce the crash? Perhaps you could send me a texture so that I can reproduce it?
Are you using a 32-bit version of Python/Panda3D or a 64-bit version?
Thanks. I will also take a note of that myself
Unfortunately I cannot reliably reproduce the crash, but I noticed that crashes happen less often when fewer textures are loaded into the GUI.
I also noticed that the game often crashes when memory usage exceeds 1.2G (from task manager), regardless if the testing machine has 4 or 16G of RAM. However it does not happen 100% of the time.
I’m using Panda 1.9 and pdeploy for packaging, which is 32-bit.
Can’t wrap my head around what could possibly be the problem 
Panda3D 1.9 is an outdated, no longer supported version of Panda3D. There are known crashes when dealing with large textures which have been fixed in Panda3D 1.10. I recommend updating.
Note that there is a 64-bit version of Panda3D 1.9.
