Hello,
this is like the 4th time this has happened to me. i'll be working on a project and out of the blue this crazy looking image appears on my dock for like 3 to 5 seconds and GS quits on me losing all that i haven't saved to that point. this time i was able to get a screen shot of it.has anybody else seen this? it's starting to bug me (no pun intended).

It's normal. I don't remember what it was called, but it sends a crash / bug report to GS.

so it detects something wrong with my code?

no, something wrong with game salad. Sends info to game salad letting them know why their program crashed so that they can fix bugs.

It also may mean that your code caused something wrong with Gamesalad, so it goes hand in hand

This is more likely the case if GS crashes while you are previewing the game. If the crash happens while you are making / building the game, it's most likely something to do with GS itself.

Remember to back up your projects often so you don't lose a lot of work.

I havnt had GS crash in a while. It's pretty stable.

I can't even remember the last time GS crashed, it's probably the most stable software (along with Adobe products) that I use.

GS Crashes for me every 5-10 mins when I first updated.
Re-installed it and it crashes every 30 - 60 mins. (GS Team can look at the crash log if thats a thing).
Not a problem though, I still save every few minutes.
Might be something to do with my computer.
