[Removed] Scratch!

Hey everyone.

So, I'm a little bit angry at Scratch at the moment... or maybe I should be angry at my computer... I have no clue what caused this crash, but I thought I would just report it anyways just in case.

Anyways, I had been working on this huge RPG anniversary project for quite some time now. I spent a grand total of about 8 hours designing the best graphics I could and making  sure the game was in top shape.

The last save I did was before 4:00 PM (I decided to go all out and program for 7 hours straight in order to push the progress). I was just adding some final touches on the boss fight when all of a sudden, Scratch closed. It was still open in my task bar, but I couldn't open the project. There was nothing I could do. For whatever reason, Scratch had crashed.

It's really sad that I have to redo everything I did again. And I don't even know if I want to. This just ticked me off so much. I don't know, like I said, if this was my computers fault or Scratch's fault... and I doubt posting it here will really do any good, but I just thought I would report it anyways.

Re: [Removed] Scratch!

scratch's likelihood of crashing seems to increase the longer you don't save. for me, it will only crash if i dont save for 30+ minutes. also, when you make graphics, be sure to back them up!

Re: [Removed] Scratch!

I can't even tell you how many times Scratch crashed when I was making my Chess game.  I lost count.

My advice:  Keep your scripts short and save often.

Re: [Removed] Scratch!

Short scripts would help, yes. Of course, if you want only one script, you must be even more careful.


yes, yes i do.

Re: [Removed] Scratch!

Just save periodically (like every 25-30 minutes is how often I usually save) and this will help make sure that you don't lose a lot of stuff.

You all save every 30 minutes? I'm so paranoid I save every ~5 minutes, or after I finish something very important or hard.
