Problems trying to start a preview

It is not really related to the game but more about the app.
whenever i try to open the project by starting the preview the app hangs on the loading screen. please help

whenever i try to start a preview the program hangs

Can you share a few screen snips of the events that start off the scene?

And are there any error messages in the developers log - to get there, press CTRL + Shift + i and select the console tab?

If you meant that previews take a long time to open, then the problem is either your CPU or GPU are slow.

If you are sure that the GPU and CPU aren’t slow, then probably windows isn’t using the dedicated GPU for gdevelop.

To force Windows to use the dedicated GPU, follow this guide: How to choose the default GPU for games or apps in Windows 11

but i have windows 10

Search a guide for Windows 10.

Ah, so it’s the scene editor that’s not opening. I doubt it has anything to do with CPU or GPU.

I’d suggest you first try uninstalling and then installing GDevelop again.

will it erase my projects?

i have a question though

Not if you’ve put them in a folder completely away from where GDevelop resides. If you are concerned, copy the project folder (and it’s contents) to somewhere like your documents folder.

i deleted the gdevelop shortcuts because i did not seem to find the main source anywhere, when i installed again i remembered the location. and the only folder i see instead is a folder named gdevelop updater (Yes the problem still persists)

Deleting the shortcuts won’t uninstall the application. You need to use the “Add and remove programs” option in the control panel to properly uninstall it.

re installed it. the issue still persists

Is it just this project? Or all projects?

just this one for some reason.

Does the console pop up with any messages if you press ctrl + shift + i ?

when stuck in a load loop. no console shows up

do you know what i can do?
