    Memory leak shown in Task Manager but not in GMS Debugger, any thoughts?

    On Windows... After about 24 seconds being in my main game room, task manager will eventually start showing my game eating up memory, about 100MB+ per second, regardless running it from GMS via F5 or on it's own after being built. However when running my game in Debug mode (F6) in GMS this will...

    Disabling Garbage Collector: What are the risks?

    As we know, we now have the Garbage Collector, the only problem is that it uses 14% of the CPU with only 2 loops (and some other simple layer functions) in an empty project on a Ryzen 5 CPU. When disabled using gc_enable(false), the performance drastically increases, using between 0 and 1% of...

This code create eight sprites from the bottom of application_surface and then draws them in reverse order, offsetting them to create the water effect. The problem is that even though...

    GMS 1.4 Memory Leak Issue

    Hi there. I've been testing some coding with a platformer demo I've been doing recently. The physics works with a ds_grid holding values of WALL and PLATFORM to perform collisions and deal with autotiling. Then I made a BLOCK object that remains static until the player lands on top and falls...

    Memory leak, empty room

    Hello together, in the lastest GameMaker Version 1.4.9999 I noticed a strange memory leak. For testing purpose I created a new project with only two rooms containing only one object. These objects do nothing more than switch rooms back and forth on key press. In the GameMaker Studio Debugger...

    GML [SOLVED] Could this cause a memory leak? (mp_grid_add_instance in Step event)

    So recently my NPCs were acting stupid by clearly ignoring an open door and trying to walk around it, or worse yet, walking THROUGH a closed door, since the above code was in the create event of the grid object. I fixed this just fine, but I want to ask this to make sure this won't cause...

    GML Advice on Large Data Structures and Memory

    I'm building a management game that works with quite large ds_grids (20x100) and I'm not sure how they are handled when leaving and entering rooms, especially in trying to prevent memory leaks. Also some of the ds_grids will need to be looped through during step events. In an object's create...
