When I connect to a remote windows player and try to take a detail sample of memory usage. After a little time the console output this message:
recvBuffer.GetSize() >= m_PendingMessage.GetDataSize() “Buffer is not large enough for the message.”
It’s very import for our game to profile the memory usage, but we have nothing to do.
I’m having the exact same problem. It makes this tool rather useless and I really need to see the current state of memory to track down some issues.
the same problem application uses over 300mb ram memory and i get:
recvBuffer.GetSize() >= m_PendingMessage.GetDataSize() “Buffer is not large enough for the message.”
in bacthmode i am able to take sample(only 100mb in ram) , but i want to do that in normal mode
I also have the same problem, any unity develop can answer our question ?
In Editor, there is no problem, it only happen on Window player
I’m receiving this same message after upgrading to Unity 4.3.3 and trying to profile an ios build. It was working on 4.2.
Same problem, although initially I can take a sample (before my game starts using much memory).
Kind of defeats the purpose if it only works when you aren’t using much memory…
Same problem here on 4.3.4.
I’ll echo those complaints. My game uses around 300mb on iOS and the profiler is choking when trying to Take Sample.
It also seems to kill the profiler connection entirely when it happens (editor-side; the game is spamming the XCode log with “Skipping profile frame. Receiver can not keep up with the amount of data sent”).
A memory profiler that chokes on insufficient memory when the target uses too much memory is quite ironic 
Using Unity 4.3.4f1 and iPad4
I’ve submitted a bug report.
Sadly, reporting a bug that’s a year old feels a bit like using a memory profiler that runs out of memory.
I have the same problem, tried with Unity 4.3.4f1 vs. Windows and iOS players. From what the error message says, it seems to me that the problem is perhaps only in a small size of the buffer that should receive the captured data.
Hopefully this can be fixed soon, it really makes this otherwise great tool kinda useless.
P.S. Would be great to have an option to save the profile result to a text file, it’s invaluable for comparison when you’re working on optimizations.
Same Problem here. Again, if memory is above 300MB, profiler ends up with nothing more than this message:
recvBuffer.GetSize() >= m_PendingMessage.GetDataSize() “Buffer is not large enough for the message.”
Unity, please, fix this soon 
Hi All,
This has been fixed in 4.5 and will appear in the next patch (which should be any moment now )
Edit: we will also get this into the next 4.3 patch too
This is now fixed in 4.5.3p3
My android app exit without any popup message when “Take Sample”.
Upgrade to 4.5.3p3 does NOT fix my problem:(
PS: My app shows about Used Total: 100mb in simple mode.
Hi, could you submit a bug report with your project attached so we can look into it?
I am afraid I can’t. The project belongs to the company I works for.
I will try to find how to reproduce it in a demo project.
That would be really useful. As a rule projects with a LOT of scene objects have caused this (large amounts of memory data), but maybe your case is different
4.5.3p3 works for standalone build on PC, however my unity editor still freezes when too much objects in scene. I’ll copy here my message from another thread, sorry for that
I’m trying to profile our game in Unity editor. But unfortunately every time when I hit take sample, whole unity freezes. It looks like, that it has correlation with many objects in scene. When i disable my object pools it works (i have arond 10k game objects, and 30k objects in scene). After enabling pools i have 17k game objects, and 60k objects. I tried to wait some time (cca 10 minutes) but without success.
So now i can profile scene with les then 10k game objects for standalone build.
I find that too many objects causes this problem not memory, because my test project has only about 20-30m memory, while the object count is 33000+. In my test, the threshold of “Total Object Count” that cause the problem is
about 32800.
I have submit a bug report about it.
