I think what the system can load depends on your graphics card capabilities. Texture sizes are rounded up and loaded in the video memory in the powers of two sizes, 1024x1024, 2048x2048, 4096x4096, 8192x8192, etc. The file size or format has nothing to do with this.

That would explain it. When I tried loading a preview map that was over 10,000x10,000 I got an Out Of Memory Error.

The beta build is available on Steam, if you select the game Properties -> Betas -> Select the beta you would like to opt into. No issues with it so far.

Looks like the next official update will come out next year, because the Slitherine team holidays will start soon.
