Gamesalad crashing every once and a while and losing saved data

Buzido

I just want to tell you guys that I started a new app this afternoon and for the past three hours I have been working on the app and Gamesalad has crashed about 5 times (basically closes instantly and I have to manually restart it) and I have lost saved data. The first crash was after 30 minutes and I didn't save it at all and had to start fresh.

My Mac is completely up to date and I only had Gamesalad and Photoshop open.

Anyway to get saved data back or automatically save Gamesalad projects every 5 minutes like Microsoft Word?

Cheers,

Adam

Does it give any error messages or crash logs? Look in console and see if you can find a Hang, Crash, Dump or Error log.

Nope, you just have to keep saving, over a few iterations, yourself.

It's because it's still beta. Lua Free is Gamesalads official release I believe.

Yeh I always usually save quire often. Sometimes you just get in the zone and punch out some work, then grab some food and come back and then CRASH. Then mouse goes flying lol.

haha yeah hate it when that happens!

Literally after every little section of code I change, I save. Especially if im leaving it to go and do something like get food ... Save is your best friend, use it as often as you can
