Well I got my game to work again. I exported all the resources, and then imported them into a blank .gmk file, I was able to publish and run again.
Importing them into a blank .gm81 caused the same game crash issues.
I would just stay away from .gm81, and stick to classic 8 for now. 8.1 has had way too many issues for too long. I love the 8.1 room editor, and I think I'll keep using it, and just port files back and forth. helps make backup files too. ;)
@fgrhq haha ahhh I see. Yeah I've been looking up and one reason it happens is due to loading large amount of resources at the start. I tried to counter this making external resources but may be whats causing it still. Can't remember if you can choose to preload on sprites and backgrounds on original 8, but know you can't on the newer one which I don't like :S
were these made with GM_8.1? Cuz After the last update I've been getting loads of issues, even with my own games. As much as I like having updates, some of them haven't been very stable.
One of my games made with 8.1 works fine, but another one crashes while trying to load the graphics specifically. That seems to be the same for W/I/P as well. Im going to toy around and figure out what exactly causes it to crash.
Is anyone else getting an unexpected error when trying to load the game? I've tried downloading it from multiple mirrors, thinking one of might have been corrupted.
Could just be me, Gizoid acted really wonky on my PC too.
I think this game looks really sweet, the concept is pretty awesome, wish I could play it to give actual crits though.
@fgrhq Hey, sorry to hear you're having trouble. I've heard some computers have trouble with certain game maker games, the same happened with my last game too. It seems to work fine for some (mine included), and not at all for others. I've updated the game with a few bug fixes but doubt that will change the outcome. I'm working to find out what's causing the error and will update as soon as possible!
@AntonHuckleberry The only other thing I can think of is make sure if downloaded, you extract all the files in the .ZIP/.RAR file, and make you don't move or edit any of the files in the root WIP folder.
