I would suggest trashing your current gamesalad program and reinstall. Also try doing a save as of the file you're working on. In the future I would suggest making version copies and don't rely on just one copy of your game. If you use time machine on Mac you can go back and grab the copy from the last time it worked. If that all doesn't work contact support.

It is not working!!!!!

@miniclip125776 "It is not working!!!!!" is not a helpful contribution to this discussion... as much as you might be frustrated. When I save GameSalad project files, I create versions after every minor improvement I make. By the time I've published an app, I might have 50 saved versions, each a unique file. If one gets corrupted or I introduce some fatal bug, I just go back to the best working version.

Bottom line, if you're working on a file on your computer that is of vital importance to you, consider making multiple copies and/or using a backup strategy (e.g. Time Machine, as was mentioned).

Also, simply posting the filepath to a video won't display it here. You need to upload it to a hosting service such as YouTube to be able to paste the URL here.

You can see if Support can help you but other than that I'd try opening it on a different computer. I've had files become corrupt and there's not often a way to fix them (besides restoring from a backup).

Looking at the video, I assume you just started a new project, and just added a couple of actors to show what problem it is you are having, and this is not actual footage of the game you are working on?

If that is the case, there is something wrong with your GameSalad install. If un-installing it, then re-installing it doesn't work, then I would contact support if I were you. Looks like you may be able to save your project if it hasn't become corrupted. And if it has become corrupted, and If you have no other backups of your game, you are in for a lot of work, unfortunately. Like @tatiang said, there's no fixing a corrupt file. None that I have ever seen, anyway.

Back up, back up!!!! Version copies, version copies!!! This is vital for all important computer files period.
