Another Void Pyramid Android bug

I’ve got a new bug reported on the Android version of Void Pyramid. After playing for about 2 or 3 hours, the player can no longer see their inventory of items in the items menu. If they uninstall and reinstall the game, they can play again for another couple hours before the bug appears again.

Several days later, they reported that opening the main menu no longer works at all. When they press B to open the menu main, an error message appears (see screenshot), and 2 purple squares appear (see other screenshot).

I asked the player to zip up the contents of the Void Pyramid folder and send it me. I also asked how much storage space they have. Could this be another bug related to insufficient storage space on their device? It seems like that to me.

Yes, full external storage does seem like a very plausible explanation for the error message in that second screenshot.

Seems like we guessed right. His storage space was the issue.

We ought to figure out a way to detect that situation an provide a better error message

Seems like this problem happens often enough that it should be prioritised more highly. Luckily we only need to check for the out-of-space condition in a couple places, although not so easy.

Actually, I don't think it's possible to get that specific error message you posted when trying to open the menu. I believe it can only occur when first opening the game.

It also makes me realise that that error doesn't display the actual error message (which would be something like "out of space").
