Just want to second the above experience — pressing alt-tab while a large project is saving, or just after, usually crashes here.

Saving doesn't always show a progress bar for me, so I can't tell when the saving is complete, but if I just wait a few seconds after saving before running the preview or switching applications, it's all good.

(using latest Construct beta 274, applies to last few versions as well)

Are you both working on large project?

Another way to look at the problem is the undo list. Im working on a rather large project (lots of images, events, layers, etc), and the strangest version of this happened yesterday.

After a couple of hours working without a crash, I held the alt key for a few seconds, and then it crashed. Just in the editor, looking at an event sheet. It may have been saving at the time, but that was it.

I wasn't alt-tabbing or anything (I was going to but got lost in thought, hence the holding down the alt key).

I'm certainly not qualified to figure this out, but maybe it's a memory problem that's triggered after a certain point, which is reached faster by projects with more assets?

Solid game! I've really enjoyed playing it so far. I hope you can build on the world you've created - some more adventures in this fox land would be great (and if so, I'd only suggest finding a new goal besides "Save the girl").

Great work!

Have you tried int(DictionaryName.Get("KeyName"))? Maybe it's causing a type mismatch.

I'm still getting the same crashes on my end using alt+tab after modifying an event sheet and using the animation editor.

One semi-reliable way to make it crash for me is to press ctrl+s to save, then immediately press alt+tab. I save every time before i switch applications because I'm afraid of it crashing when I press alt+tab, but if i save and switch too quickly, it ends up crashing!

Also is it possible that the other Programs I'm switching to could cause a problem?

Like the post above, I've found my c2 crashes when I alt+tab after working on a capx for a couple of hours. It's usually to see the preview, or edit an animation frame in Photoshop, but only after some time working on the project. I've seen it crash on a save as well, but less frequently. I wonder what they have in common?

I'm on the latest beta (270?), Windows 7 professional 64 bit, 16gb of memory.

Edit: I don't use Google drive
