Failed Loading Texture - Reason Out of Memory

[Sparcsky]

I'm trying to load a Texture with a size of 32,768 x 4096 but it failed to do so. What does it mean of this error? how can I solve it? also, what is the maximum size SFML can load textures?

First one means that it someone couldn't be opened, e.g. no permission or doesn't exist in the said location.
The second seems to come from stb_image and sounds like you don't have enough RAM to load that image into.

32768x4096 = 512MB and maybe even more when it has to decompress it.

What's that image anyways?

I have 8GB ram and only 4GB is in use.

The image is a texture atlas which contains all the game objects that I can use in my game. I put it all into one image to minimise instantiating multiple textures.

Hmm...that's a BIG image,don't you think?However you could divide the image into multiple spritesheets to use it.But I'm curious what game do you want to make?(Because that spritesheet contains more sprites that I know to count)
