Run the attached project in DEBUG and you will see;
mb1=100001 mb2=100001
Run it normally and you will see;
mb1=100001 mb2=100002

The second MemBlock allocation is failing (I think)

Downloaded 2.0.17 and still get the problem.
mb1=100001 mb2=100001 in debug mode
I get the following messages in the Debug log;
Failed to load image: agk.png, agk.png in main.agc at line 10
Failed to load image: /Missing.png, /Missing.png in main.agc at line 10
Failed to create memblock 100001 from image 0, image does not exist in main.agc at line 10

when i run it normally i get;
mb1=100001 mb2=100002

Any ideas?

Try deleting your write folder. I had similar problems a while ago. I think debug mode uses different folders and sometimes gets confused.

That's the problem, the image does not exist so the first memblock never gets created, so when you create the second memblock it is at ID 100001.

The debugger acts as a separate app and communicates via the local network to the IDE instead of running the app exe directly. This is so it can use the same debug processes as mobile devices. As such the debugger receives the app files from the IDE and writes them to its write folder, whereas the local app would read them from its read folder. When you change the write folder it can no longer access the files the IDE sent it. You will have to wait to change the write folder until after you have finished loading files, or change it back temporarily to load them.
