There are many games bigger than 500 mb in size such as Veritas. Can this be related to largeHeap option? Also, found this on the forums.

I think issue is with Java running out of memory when building the app. Not during the runtime.

@Shchvova Yes you are right. Looking forward for this fix in next release.
