PSM / Vita Out of Memory problems using only 136 megs of RAM

Is anyone having problems running out of memory?

Right after the game boots the console reports:
[21.575765] 0: fps 0.85 ms/f 1173.11 [kernel avail main 144MB, cdram 0MB, phycont 26MB]

Then my PSM game crashes on the vita when it uses 136.4 MB of Memory (and theoretically the device should have 512 megs less the OS size), which is 44.3 MB Unity, 38.9MB Mono, 37.9 megs Gfx Driver, 16 MB profiler)

Roughly speaking I have 21 Megs of textures, 4 Megs of meshes, 10 Megs of animation and 4 megs of audio. 1600 game objects, 5700 total objects in scene, 7600 total object count;

This should not be a lot of resources for a device that should have 512 megs of RAM.

In the presentation on Unity PSM they show the console trace of an app booting that has 400+ megs available.

Any help appreciated,

thanks.

 

The development console has 2x the ram... are you using dev device and I believe that's under how much vram it has so not sure here. Perhaps post bug report?

 

i got always 166 mega and one time i got the message out of memory etc but it runs at 30 frames i was amazed how powerfull it was

 

I'm using a plain old Vita to test. I'm definately under the VRAM limit, as I forced it to fastest quality mode with 1/8 res textures until I get things working. (And previously it was complaining about that, and the warning has gone away)

 

I assumed those using Unity PSM wouldn't have the Vita dev kit would be using a retail Vita?

 

The Vita has 128MB of (physical) VRAM. I'm not sure how unity does memory management for systems and video ram.

It would be good if the Unity PSM team came back with these kind of constraints so that we didn't have to research them ourselves.
