everything black except a small square opening to see stage... has anyone seen this?

its confusing as hell because what happens is i have a graphic on a stage as a background.. then i add a spawner that spawns objects on the side of the screen (just off the screen, done it a million times) and then i go to play.. and i get this..

I then have to delete the entire scene and add a new one and again.. add the graphic... looks fine when i test... then i add the spawner and blamo! what you see in the link above is what happens.. at first i thought it was something to do with the size of the objects i was soawning or how many but now i'm spawning random .5 to 1 spacing.. and an object that is 50x50 pixels..

anyone ever seen this behavior before? I have come across it but it was usually a minor quirk and i could get around but this time it seems to be in my face every time..

Thanks

I have that occasionally, and I just press the refresh arrow on the preview, seems to do the job for me

Ya hitting the little refresh button works for me.

Hey.

I also have it a few times..as @Chobbiface said, simply refresh the scene
This way you get the whole screen again!

thanks for confirming. yea i managed to get the bugger to go away finally.. but it just seemed to be more persistent than usual. Thanks for the feedback!

I am getting this all the time in my game as well. I know you can hit refresh but does anyone know what causes it and how to stop it from happening in the first place? Will this continue to happen when people are playing it on their phones?

part12studios

good question. i keep having to do refresh. that fixes it, but it is annoying that it happens for some stages and not others.

PBEmpire

any idea what is causing it? but u will get used to refreshing anyways. it takes like 1sec so ya it happens all the time...

part12studios

no reason i can determine..

It happens intermittently here, too. On three different Macs. Since 0.10.

I was hugely relieved that a refresh redraws the entire screen.

yea gs is having way too many bugs. its annoying me. stopping me from completing games...

part12studios

well hitting the refresh button is a fairly forgivable (although slightly annoying bug).. the one that really ticks me off is when GS crashes when I bring in graphics sometimes.. random.. and the graphics are fine.. 72dpi and everything..

I cant find the refreshing button
