Memory Leak switching cameras

CLapps

Hi there,

Developing and testing my game I have noticed every time I switch to a new camera (I'm using crossfade) The next camera view fills up the memory a little bit more. As I'm making a 2D point and click game I'm changing cameras a lot to move around but after ten or so camera changes the iPad 2 I'm testing on runs out of RAM and crashes the game. 

Is there a way to free up memory after the camera has changed to another camera?

I'll look into it.  The 1.34 update focuses on performance, be good to fix any issues like that.  I expect there to be a performance hit during each crossfade, but there shouldn't be one afterwards.

Just thinking. The memory leak isn't because I duplicated the same
camera and renamed it. Rather than creating a new 2D Camera from the
game editor window?

The GameCamera2D?  Shouldn't make a difference - the memory spikes in-game, rather than the moment you create a new camera, correct?  I'm assuming the memory leak is the full-screen texture that the MainCamera pastes over the screen during the crossfade.  Unless you can see that the leak's source object is indeed the GameCamera.
