Hi JCL,

I´ve spend more than a week to find out what caused the crash in my project and it cost me alot of nerves. However I broke down the problem to just 3 line of code. Could you kindly look into it? It just loads a skycube and 2 models. And the thing is, it works in developement mode (from SED). But when you publish it then it goes crazy. Nexus increases to 100+ in acklog you can see the nexus overflow thingy.
First start the script test.c and then execute test.bat in the publish directory. It starts test.exe with the -diag command. In the Debug Panel you can see that the nexus is way too high.

I´ve checked the models and the skycube and also changed them but nothing solved the problem for me. Maybe there is something in the ent_create function. The Skycube has a normal
size of 6144x1024

I would be really happy if you could look into it!

PS: You are not allowed to use the models in any project (commercial /non commercial)

EDIT: After searching a bit it seems that quite a few people got that problem. I guess it´s something Gamestudio related then?

I've once had a similar problem in my game where I used ent_createlayer(?) or whatever it is called to create a sky cube in one of the cutscenes. It produced a nexus overflow and showed way too high nexus values in the debug panel. This would lead to subsequent crashes or mostly just weird behavior in following levels, such as unexplainable white surfaces stretching across whole levels - I thought this could be my fault, resulting from ... script errors, I don't know, but they weren't even listed as a regular entity in the level or clickable - or "missing" random models in subsequent level_load calls.
Some stuff regarding the nexus was fixed already, don't know about related or maybe unrelated crashes and errors though:

Sadly that quote is unrelated since it only fixes the Debug planel. But still the sky cube causes a nexus overflow for some reason. Even Ello, spike and Pegamode, all had the same problem. Sadly they aren´t around anymore.

I don't understand the problem at a first glance. The difference in development and release mode is just due to the fact that the development mode distinguishes between nexus and sys_memory. The release version does not, and handles memory slightly differently for speed reasons. If you exceed the nexus, system memory is allocated.

Exceeding the nexus gave you a wrong nexus display as Superku said, but that was fixed in the current A8 release.

The thing is, it crashes when I change the level.
Just add for example

at the end of the main function and you´ll see that it instantly crashes. But only in published mode but not in developement mode.

Okay nevermind, starting with a higher nexus value solved it!
Thanks for your time though!
