That's okay. I use machine translation to read your German text, as well. Thank You for the file. I see nothing that would indicate where the problem lies, so this one is probably going to require some deeper debugging. I'll probably have to start by figuring out how to duplicate the issue on command, probably with a script. As an interim fix, I would suggest saving your work every hour or so, completely closing AOI, and then restarting the application.

If you started AOI with a larger heap limit, presumably you started from the command line with java -Xmx32g -jar ArtOfIllusion.jar or similar. Did you get any text output in the command window that included the words "error" or "exception", probably some of the last things in the window before the scene crashed?

Did the command line output show any errors?

Okay, so a gradual degradation toward an eventual crash does imply some sort of resource scarcity, even if it isn't heap memory. When you've been working, and this issue triggers, are you doing modeling work, or primarily animation/pose stuff?

Konrad, in your experience, does this issue require a long time editing before it appears, or can it happen with a freshly opened file?

The standard launchers do limit the RAM that AOI takes. Technically, it's 16G of heap memory, and then the Java process uses a bit more on top for its management stuff and some internalized data. Regarding your "shuffle" issues: do you mean that they are actually swapped around in location, or are you getting z-depth errors? Could you post a screenshot? To determine if the memory limits are related: Start AOI from the command line: java -Xmx16g -jar ArtOfIllusion.jar Work until the issue occurs....

How are you launching AOI? The included aoi.sh script should give the VM a 16GB max heap. I rather sounds like you are getting the default determined by the VM.
