Game not loading after leaving editor in multicellular stage

After leaving the editor and clicking confirm the screen goes all black until windows prompts me to force quit the game.

I seem to have the same issue on Mac.

I can provide two save files where it occurs, maybe that helps with testing: Filebin | 1os2ta035s4vz5wv
(link will expire in a few days and I can’t seem to attach the files directly. if you need it afterwards send a pm)

Based on a quick search the exit code is related to running out of memory. So maybe your computer ran out of memory when trying to process the cell layout?

Could you provide a save that triggers the error when exiting the editor?

I do have one other potential save about the cell layout calculation stalling out the game, but more examples of the problematic cell layouts would be helpful.

Do these trigger the problem immediately after pressing confirm in the editor, or is something more needed?

Edit: seems like at least the second save does. And the good news is that based on a quick investigation I can adjust the algorithm parameters to change the approach it uses when it starts to seem stuck and that at least makes the blip save playable.

Edit: I’ve made a pull request of my tweaks to the algorithm which should prevent all cases of getting stuck on the editor exit black screen:
