F5 Browser refresh memory bottleneck problem

[Hagop]

Hi all

I am using Mozilla Firefox ver 43 and I have quite a large Babylon.js project

Upon making several F5 browser refreshes, I get "out of memory" situation (Error: WebGL: texImage2D generated error OUT_OF_MEMORY). It is evident that  for example scene.registerBeforeRender ( and possibly other babylon functions stay resident in memory) continues to run for a few seconds after F5 is pressed (just use console.log to in  registerBeforeRender  to verify my claim).

How can I dispose, or clear the memory immediately F5 is pressed.

Do I need a javascript directive and where do I place it?

Try:

$(window).bind('beforeunload', function(e){
	scene.dispose();
	e=null;
});

//or 

$(window).bind('beforeunload', function(e){
	scene.unregisterBeforeRender(<<FunctionName>>);
	e=null;
});

Sorry thats JQuery, you asked for javascript... Try:

window.onbeforeunload = function(e) {
  scene.dispose();
  e = null; //setting e to null allows the refresh
};

Thanks ChrisR

Great improvement, almost fixed, except for on refresh I get a new error

Error: No camera defined  babylon.js:9:19269

There seems to be some memory leakage still, but things work fine.

Hitting f5 should generate a complete memory cleanup.

 

This is definitely a Firefox bug

Delkatosh, you are right as Chrome doesn't have the problem. So how do we contact Firefox ? lol
