Continuous preview problem?

Hi,

i have just created a simple layout with 4 sprites and have added the nosave behavior. When i press shift and preview with either chrome or firefox i just get a grey screen. Runs ok if i preview normally.

Internet Explorer give me this error:

I ran into the same issue trying the continuous preview on several of my past games. Black screen in chrome and firefox (music plays in game) and that error in IE.

I found that if you run the layout as a normal preview first, leave it open and go back to the editor and make a change and then do a continuous preview it works.

Hmm. Can you make a full post in the Bugs forum for each separate issue? The console thing looks like a small mistake, but the other ones sound more problematic.

Yeah, I also get a black screen in Chrome and Firefox. Couldn't bring myself to test in IE. Wrangler's fix works nicely, though.

Oh, I think I should mention - it's designed so you normally preview at least once (to establish a gameplay state), then you continuously preview after that. Maybe it's broken if you continuously preview right away, I'd better check that...

Ahh, that makes sense.

Maybe running in Continuous preview mode would make more sense if you had a checkbox to toggle it on and off. Then shift+f5 could be reserved for starting fresh again.

Just a thought.

I've made a few tweaks to continuous preview for the next build. Hopefully it will work a little smoother then.

Hi,

Thanks Ashley, actually the suggestion by Wrangler works fine for now.
