Cocos

Hello friends I’m making a 2D game this time and I’m having a problem with memory management. We’re using a few 4096-digit textures and they’re taking up too much memory I’m not sure exactly when I load a resource, but it seems to take up about 120 MB Based on this, it seems like the current resources.load() is loaded into the system memory as well Is there a way to load this resource as read-only?
