Question

We are working on a point and click adventure and we have a character spritesheet that is very large: W: 37496px | H: 968px (9,2 MB).

Godot crashes when I try to open this project with this file in the project files. How can we work with very large spritesheets like this one in Godot?

Wow that is massive!

It is telling you that it is bigger than the allowed size here:
MTLTextureDescriptor has width (37496) greater than the maximum allowed size of 16384.

Unless there is a setting in the project settings for this that I am unaware of I would guess that you will have to split your sprite sheet into smaller sheets.

so i read it wrong, i thought it was just 3.7k px. that’s really large then, @nubels needs to cut it down
