Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues.

Have you checked the documentation to resolve your problem?

• I have read the linked documentation and could not resolve my issue.

Current Behavior

I am studying logfiles that the app is sending to my server from all my users and I see some concerning entries like this:

Warning Property (_InnerSphereOffset) exceeds maximum allowed array size (7644). Cap to (1023).
Crest.SphereWaterInteraction:SubmitDraws(LodDataMgr, Int32, CommandBuffer)
Crest.LodDataMgrPersistent:BuildCommandBuffer(OceanRenderer, CommandBuffer)
Crest.BuildCommandBuffer:BuildLodData(OceanRenderer, CommandBuffer)
Crest.BuildCommandBuffer:BuildAndExecute()
Crest.OceanRenderer:RunUpdate()

It's 1000s of lines once it is happening. It is not happening allways but on a lot of devices of all kinds. iOS, Android.

I do not see this in the editor. It seems to be happening since a while.

Expected Behavior

Are you seeing Crest: There are too many instances of SphereWaterInteraction. A maximum of 1023 instances is supported. in the logs?

[klauskobald]

no. There are a maximum of 4 in the scene for catamaran and 2 for the monohull boat.

I see that there is always this more warnings:

It seems to be a race condition problem at startup of the scene. I cannot see if the user is killing the app. But the next launch of the app does not show the warning again.

[daleeidd]

Can you apply this patch and let me know if things improve: master...fix-swi-property-leak

[klauskobald]

I will check. At least I see the warnings also in the editor sometimes.

[klauskobald]

It seems the warning only occurs when user changes the boats and instances are created / deleted. The game is halted at that time by setting the framerate to 0. So maybe that has an impact. I am still investigating, but it might not be a big problem at the end.
