Big issues with the software!

Hi,

Urgently trying to export my game from MMF2 and save my current MFA file, but keep getting errors with both!

When trying to export my EXE, I keep getting 'Out of Memory' errors, and when saving my MFA file I keep getting " error accessing unknown file" and then "failed to save document".
Unfortunately, closing the program and starting again isn't really an issue as this is coursework that is due on Monday which I need finished today. The game saved absolutely fine this morning and came to a rather large 900mb or so (although this file has since vanished so I can't even go back to that!), but since then I've added quite a few long animation sequences, edited other elements and now I can't save!
I've tried removing all of the extra active objects that I have added and still are having the same issues.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks,
Jon

Now can't even browse through my project in the program - and keep getting "Out of Memory" infinitely as a popup.

There is a 2GB MFA file size limit. If you've reached that limit, then there is nothing that can be done, since your MFA file is probably corrupted if it has gone over that limit. Sorry.

If you haven't reached that limit, then I'd like to know what version of MMF2 you are using. Mainly, are you using the latest beta version?

nice to know that there is a limit on it.
that they are allowed to indicate more clearly.
because nowhere you can find up to 2 GB.
ensure that the limit goes away.
makes no sense
if I had known that there is a limit on it.
I had not opted for this program.
makes me feel ripped off bit

The limit is more a bug than anything. It isn't exactly intentional (Clickteam probably didn't have the limit there because they wanted it to be there), and the limit can easily be avoided by storing sounds and graphics externally as much as possible. Also, you know how hard it is to get something to take up 2GB? For comparison, Minecraft+a bunch of save files is 672MB (based on the size the folder is taking up), and Portal 2, an absolutely huge 3D game (3D games usually take more space than 2D ones), takes about 10GB, so that should that should give you an idea on how hard it should be to take that much space up with a 2D game.
