Hello everyone!
We're pleased to release another revision to Mac Creator that includes key fixes and optimizations previously discussed by
@CodeWizard in his State of GameSalad posts. These fixes incorporate updates to memory management and framerate, further enhancing your apps and addressing the memory increases previously seen after the 0.10.2 release. This release is both a
Creator and a
binary release. You will need to update to latest Creator to take advantage of the updates.
Engine Optimizations:
This release has the first batch of our ongoing engine optimization work. Here's what we've got ready for you in this version:
- We removed the multi-threaded image / sound loading that was introduced in 0.10.2. It turns out that it was causing some negative framerate impacts. It also has a few flaws that introduced white actors on occasion. We'll be revisiting this in the future.
- We disabled our custom Lua memory allocator and are now using the one provided by LuaJIT. This not only improves performance, but it fixes an ongoing crash that was happening in our allocator. The result? Faster games that don't crash as much.
- There are a handful of other smaller tweaks to the Lua code to help with performance and memory footprint. We'll continue to roll these out on a regular basis.
More detail can be found in the release notes
HERE.As normal, please feel free to post feedback in this thread or direct issues/bugs to support. We look forward to bringing additional updates soon - look out for new posts by
@CodeWizard on the State of GameSalad weekly for more information.
Cheers,
The GameSalad Team
Why do you keep using that word? I do not think it means what you think it means.

The game has IAP, GameCenter leaderboard and Achievements. I don't use any of the ad services.

RESCUE ALIENS NOW!!!!
Still getting the UDUD binary error here too.
Hope it's resolved pretty quick, as I have a broken game live, that I need to get updated with this fixed version.
Sorry for the problems!
Will keep my eyes peeled for the update. Fingers crossed it's not too long........my eyes don't like being peeled I think.
