I believe AppGameKit will automatically scale the width down to 1024 and scale the width acordingly. Then it will add empty pixels to make the image 1024*1024. I don't know if it does this on all platforms but im pretty sure it does it on android and iOS

I think the v10812 is supposed to allow larger images for Android.

The AGK.txt file (which lists changes in each build) says:
Quote: "Fixed loading of large JPG images on Android"


So, test your larger image. If it works, then we know. If it doesn't, then you will need to go with four images.

It's risky to use any image > 2048. This may work, but as it's hardware and OpenGL driver-dependent it will fail on many devices. I've just been reading extensively about this.

I don't think there's much that TGC can do about it. There are some OpenGL calls that will return these limits, and it would be handy to be able to get these via AGK.
