Can't Export at High Quality even 4k

Bugs

I have 32 GB of RAM and a top-notch graphics card, but despite all that, the map I created with many days of hard work is no longer being exported even in 4K. While exporting, the screen goes black at the second or third stage and the export stops. While 2K export does it in the blink of an eye, the result is very bad. What should I do now?

    We continue to improve performance and making exporting smoother, since creation of this ticket we made several improvements which should hopefully address these issues.

    Also, with our desktop app (available Windows only), exports should be more stable. You can download it here: http://inkarnate.com/download

    If you should still run into export issues,

    please open the dev console (shift + ctrl + i) and see for any errors when loading your map and send a support ticket using the widget in the bottom right, or via email: support@inkarnate.com

    Same issue here, RTX 3090, 64gb ram, 7800X3D cpu. It blinks black then the map is just transparent grid and I cant even see the error message its so short.

    i also want to export in 8k, but as soon as the export starts, the map dissappears, and the extract fails on the second step. There is an error message for exactly 1 second after it, so i cant even read it

    I'm having the same problem. I was able to export until now.

    Has anyone found a reason for this issue? I have one map that I can't export above 2K with the same issue as above, but it is a country map derived from my world map. It has about 1/4 of the assets of the world map, which I can export at 8k without any issues.

    I'm able to do 4k, but anything above that doesn't work for me.

    After trying for a while with 16GB of RAM and no background tabs/apps open, it seems to be a map-by-map bug since I can still export several older maps at full quality with no issues. I managed to grab the error message before it blinked away.

    For new comers, I found a solution: Open your maps in the lowest resolution (1K). Then export it at your desire resolution. It fixed the issue for me ! I managed to export it in 8K without issue with my 16GB of RAM.
