  Are you creating/spawning the bullets on the correct layer?

  What's the point? At first I thought it was bad in a funny way, but it quickly got bad in a bad way. So they succeeded in making a song I have no interest in listening to. Whoop de doo!

  Can you reproduce this in a new .cap with as few events and objects as possible? Then if you put it on the tracker, I can see if it can be fixed.

  Alternatively you could try a 'Go to layout' action with the same layout number to restart the layout. (even if that works, reporting a bug for the quicksave thing would be good so it can get fixed)

  Really? You have a .cap file that reproduces that? Can you put it on the tracker so we can fix it?

  Ah, might've missed that email, I've got no internet at the moment (housemate trod on the router power supply or something), I'll check it out when my home interweb is back.

  Judging from the name, is it anything to do with Crysis or Crytek?

  Man, GPU technology is getting so damn powerful my head spins when I think of what it'll be like in 10 years.

  I'd bet this is a lost device issue. Whenever an app takes fullscreen mode it causes all other apps using DirectX to release all their textures and memory and stuff. We've coded lost device handling code for the IDE, but it may be broken. You can simulate running the fullscreen trailer just by setting your game to fullscreen mode and previewing. If you close and the IDE has crashed, that's a lost device bug. Of course reproducability is the holy grail of all bugs, so if you can get a .cap which can reliably induce this, we can get on to fixing it right away.

  Windows Vista might not let you write to the My Documents folder like that.

  You could alternatively try storing it in the same directory as the application:

  AppPath & "myfile.ini"

  Yeah, I think I fixed that. Everyone's copy is broken except for yours, David.

  I thought that might happen, so I had the foresight to host them all on our server

  I could give you a custom rank or something (we have a 'harbinger of doom' somewhere...)

  Nothing right now... we do of course greatly appreciate every single donation we've received, but currently it's a private thing. I'm a little worried about changing it for two reasons - one, I don't want people to think they're buying anything - a true donation is just a donation, not in exchange for anything (other than maybe happier developers!). Secondly I don't want anyone to get any egos going on the forum about it, as in "I'm a donator and you're not so I win the argument" type things. What do you think?

  It used to work? What changed in between? Drivers updated or something? Maybe try reinstalling DirectX? If it used to work, the best I can assume is something else broke it...
