Apparently it hasn't been fixed yet. I'm not sure how many people are facing this issue but I'm pretty sure it is preventing them from evaluating this software. Some of whom might go PRO!
OS - Windows 8 ,7
Game Salad version - version: 0.10.4.1
Steps to reproduce crash:
- Open Game Salad
- Go to File -> Dashboard
- Click New project
- Select a template
- Click Load project
- Crash!
Here is the screenshot of the crash (Windows 8):
Here is screenshot of what stack trace (error log) i could find on Windows Event Viewer (Windows 8)
Hope this info helps get this bug fixed. Really looking forward to use this software.
Thanks & Best Regards
