    I'm sure you'll appreciate that there's no way we can know what the problem is from a description as short as that.

    Provide some details such as the types of bugs you're seeing (most "bugs" are user error, I'm afraid... not always but often) and screenshots of your load and save rules. The more you explain and show (yes, I'm a teacher so I get to say "show don't tell" :wink:) the more we can help you.

    It all depends on how often you open/close actors, rules etc and run the game in the viewer. GS doesnt like too much of this, especially in windows. So I suggest you save often and just before you test something youve changed, SAVE.

    I always have a template of my game without the major change, just incase I mess up, so I can revert to it, then start again.

    I have the same issue, not as often as I used to but I am running 16GB of RAM on my PC.
    Just learn to save, save and save again!

    GS has always had this issue... Even on Mac... and used to be far worse than it is today. Work was done to improve stability but the issue has never been completely resolved, and it's always been best advice/practise to make regular saves of your project whilst changing stuff. Like Jigglybean said, it seems to rear its head when you do a lot of opening and closing scenes and rules... You'll normally see the editor start struggling, then it will lock up and just die.

    It happens a lot less than it used to, but it can still be annoying when it happens... So you just have to get into the practise of saving your work every few minutes. Not perfect... But what is when it comes to working with GameSalad :)
