i tried loading a preview in the desktop app, but it just loads infinitely now, idk what to do now, i had so much stuff i wanted to make there but now it’s all gone.
Why can’t the editor work offline on desktop?
The engine can runs previews offline.
Is your game files are locate on your computer?
Is the game console reporting an error?
the game’s files are all on my computer. and no, it loads infinitely, but maybe that’s because of something else
Few things to check,
Did you recently add an extension? There’s a chance it could be misbehaving.
Any new logic which uses a loop event like “while”? or javascript events?
If possible, see if there’s any output in the debugger, but I would start by having a look at your most recent changes.
JavaScript errors should be displaying in the dev tools (or gdevelop debugger), looking like this:
Tinting an object by a negitive value
DevTools view, using Control Shift I
However… If the extension uses NPM stuff theres a chance that could prevent the game from starting entirely. It could also be a problem with GDevelop, as it does not create a new application in order to preview your game.
I admit you actually do get some errors if you use GDevelop offline, but they’re ignorable… I think.
Unless they can maybe share some code, I have absolutely no idea why it wouldn’t be starting. I do vaguly remember this happening to me before…but I don’t know what I did.
