Hello Nomad Sculpt Developer,

I am experiencing a problem after updating from version 2.8 to version 2.9 on my iPad.

In version 2.8, my existing projects opened and worked normally. After updating to version 2.9, some projects keep loading repeatedly and never finish opening. This happens even with projects around 90 MB, while other projects still open normally.

I also work with complex sculpts containing approximately 25–30 million polygons.

Could you please investigate whether this is a bug in version 2.9 and advise me on how to safely open my existing projects again?

My projects are important, and I do not want to lose my work.

Thank you for your help.

It should work on 2.10.

(but 2.10 has a bug: it crashes on export, will be fixed shortly in 2.11)
