Hello everyone, I would ask if gamesalad slows down as you work with and sometimes crashes.
I understood that working on a game, I slows gamesalad that they are unable to use it. I have to leave and enter it to continue.
you have any solution?

    Same problem here. Yesterday ordered 3Gb ram extra, hoping this will help. Unlucky for me, the postmen in Holland are on strike. :-(

    Yes., there is a memory leak that causes GS to slow, and eventually crash, the more you use it.

    You'd be best to get in the practice of closing the app every so often, as the problem only gets worse the further you get into your project.

    Yes this is a known problem and hopefully they will fix it in the next update. My best advice is save, save, save and close the program as soon as you find it slow. Then wait like 10 seconds and open it again.

    Give a good, hard whack on the top of it. No wait...that was television sets...

    Here's hoping the leakage is "plugged" in 0.9.0.

    GameSalad would be golden if they could fix this in the next release..
    I litterally go into like 5-10 actors back and forth making changes then SAVE everytime
    before i do a preview, then exit it out of game, then load back up.. it's extremely annoying.
    basically the minute you try to exit from an actor or load an actor and it takes quite a while,
    save, close GS and reload.. and you'll be good.
    I've got a ton of saved files doing this :) project 1, project 1a, project 1b, major change then save as project 2, project 2a, etc... lol..

    The interesting thing about software is that there can be what's called a "memory leak"
    While you are working memory is taken up to preform specific tasks, and when one of those tasks are no longer needed or important, that memory should be cleaned up to preform other tasks. But when a memory leak happens, all the memory isn't cleared away like is should be, so memory block start to build up.

    If I had to take an educated guess I would say when you change from one window to another in GS you are leaking memory, this is why over time GS starts to slow down and can even crash. The best way to fix this is to save your work and close down GS.

    Unfortunately if it is a memory leak like suspect then that's really the only way of dealing with it for now.
