not sure of the largest size, but if you do a quick "search", you'll find the average size map 6400x8000 quoted from Eufnoc(Nieknight) from an earlier topic. so really just go from their, unless someone has an exact figure.  |

We did some changes to the ODF structure and the loading hirarchy to improve performance already in beta2. Although these changes where quite minor it could affect how maps are processed.. maybe we accidently fixed that crash bug |
