Lightmass Crash _ Did NOT run out of memory_ Please HELP!

Development Rendering
1

My project was working fine and then this started to happen. I’m trying to find the culprit but I’m not sure where to start. Took out the the scene the meshes and materials i was editing right before it happened but still not working so…I don’t know where to start.

You might want to check if you set any lightmaps to be a non square of 2 number, I had that a while back that would always crash lightmass. Think in the statistics view you can see all the lightmaps resolutions together.

Check that your Swarm cache doesn’t contain corrupt data:

  • Open the swarm agent by double clicking the swarm agent icon in the task bar (it may not be visible until you’ve already tried to build lighting).
  • Select Cache | Clean and then Cache | Validate from the menu
  • Check the Log tab to see whether it’s happy.
