Preview Issue

ali.samaan

Hi all,

I'm using the Windows version of GameSalad (0.10.5) and when i open any sample project and hit Play the screen switches to the preview screen but nothing shows up, no actors, not even the black background of the project.

I created new project and added a simple graphic actor with no code at all, hit Play and nothing shows in preview screen.

Any idea what may cause such issue?

Note: i read the post on PC issues related to decimal point (http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/59247/windows-creator-first-stop-if-you-experience-unexpected-behaviours#latest)

Yet my issue is far from coding using decimal or comma.

All help is appreciated

Are you able to see the graphic when you use the HTML preview instead of the Play button?

I think its about your computer's default language. Make sure its English. Here is the Region settings;

And i recommend to use 0.13.4 version of GameSalad for Windows

Edit: Oh! You was try to this, im sorry i didn't see this. By the way, how many actors have you in your project?

This raises a profoundly metaphysical question, if not even the black background shows up, what is it you can see when it switches to the preview screen !?

Thanks all for your great input

Summation, i have not tried exporting to HTML5 i will give it a try and update you. Can you please guide me how to preview/export to HTML5?

ParsSo, yes lang settings are same as the posted pic you provided.. i tried with 1, 2, 3 actors, same result

Socks, i see the play/pause button on top center and "back to editor" button on top left corner. below that is a blank white screen. when i right-click i get one option "reload" and nothing changes if i reload.
