Custom action crashing Photoshop

[jrmypdgr]

I created a custom action for cutting my workload done when optimising images. Everything works fine for a while but then it starts crashing photoshop as soon as I click the play button and every time after that it crashes when I go to use it. It's quite a large action in terms of how many things its doing, but its pretty straight forward stuff, nothing too heavy so I can't see what it's causing it to crash.

Does anybody have any ideas on why its doing that or ways to fix it?

Thanks!

Having the same issue.  Have updated Mac w their latest update too.  This is happening w individual actions and bulk actions.  Have no idea how to fix.  Anyone?

There are a number of reasons that could cause this issue.

Here's a tip that I am using sometimes:

I am inserting a "Purge all" command at the beginning of the action; I am also inserting it before a step that utilizes heavily the system resources (e.g. when it merges various 3D layers). I hope it helps.
