Resource size problem

Unity Engine
1

I got weird problem when building to stand alone version on Window7 64 bit.
My project around 6GB, I work fine in Editor mode. When I build to stand alone version, resources.assets file size is bigger than 3GB.
It can run but cannot not see the texutre.

I tried remove 1 scene, the resources.assets → 1.95 GB, it works well.

Does any one get same problem?
I think Unity3D got problem with resources.assets bigger than 2GB

Curse these forums for not having a like button xD

Sorry, I deleted my post since I wasn’t sure it really applies given that you can make a 64-bit build. Nice timing; it was only there for about 30 seconds. :wink:

I already tested with other project, resources.assets = 2.15 GB → cannot see texture
resources.assets = 1.80 GB → it worked :frowning:

So I think the problem is Unity3D (even 64 bit or 32 bit) cannot work with resources.assets > 2.0 GB
Does anyone have any ideas?

What operating system are you on and what disk format its running on?
I ask cause 2GB is one of those sizes where old disk formats will fail (fat32 for example).

In either case: if unity fails it should normally write something into the log on the error, can you provide its error message?

I use NTFS win7 64bit. I could build resource.assets file bigger than 2GB. I just got problem when run program, there is no texture if resource.asssets file bigger than 2GB. Here is the output.log, I think nothing special, almost same as other project

I have a similar setup, Win7 64bit, and use huge texture sets. I have the same effect, when running from Build. Objects just appear white, as if textures can’t be found. In fact, when debugging, all pointers to textures keep “null” after calling Resources.Load().

I already had started another thread on this problem: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/177763-Shader-not-working-in-Build
I first thought, there is a difference in shader usage. The asset size is a good hint!

A solution would be greatly appreciated!

I think this is error come from Unity3D. I don’t know how to give bug report. Is there any thread/section for it?

Run the bug reporter app; also available in the help menu as “report a bug”. In most cases, posting on the forums will not get a bug looked at.
