Crash while opening a specific project

Hi,

I have a project that I have been working on for a few weeks now. Now I was about to open it again but it always crashes at about 90% of the loading process.
I have also opened other projects for testing, everything works there.
Can someone please help me?

I've had crashes when large projects exceed the available GPU memory. I suspect there may be slight extra memory usage when loading a project. Perhaps yours was right on the limit when you saved it, and loading pushes it over.

On a blank project
1) Window > Magic Window Options > Lock Graphics Resolution

2) Set a lower resolution than you have been working in. This needs less GPU memory.

3) Try opening the project that crashes. Hopefully it will now load without crashing. The locked resolution over-rides the project's previous resolution.

4) In the Folder Panel check to see if any scenes have Keep Scene In Graphics Memory checked. Confirm that you need to keep ALL of these in memory.

5) Hopefully you can now edit your project and perhaps reduce the memory requirement.

Post it here as an attachment and I'll open it and see if I can fix it for you. Just the .magic file, no other assets.

For some reason there was a bug with the JpegFolder module you put in a scene but weren't using. Please try the attached project.

Actually try this one. The other one might have unlinked your file associations.
