I can no longer edit existing events or add new ones...

This started up out of the clear blue...

For some reason all versions of Construct from .94 to .96 crash whenever I try to add a new event or edit an existing event on a project .cap. It crashes even if I start a new directx9 game.

I've tried uninstalling all of my old versions of Construct, but for some reason everything from .94 and up crashes in the event editor. I can add and remove sprites without any problem, but as soon as I move to the event editor everything goes to hell.

For some reason the event editor in .93 works normally.

(of course, my most recent .cap doesn't work in .93 )

Up until now I haven't run into any major bugs so this is a surprise. Construct is somewhat limiting when you can't add new events...

Dude you still in that mess ? Or did you found the problem? Honestly, wish i could point you to something.

Sometimes see another ones mess, lol , relativates your own.

A week ago, i had some kind of virus. Well i think it was a virus. I can not really know. Since, well...

It ate ALL my files not in use on the C: drive and on the D:drive.

Lucky not on my E: drive holding all the backups for my important docs.

But i had to redo my whole system, my vista was half gone too. Plus apply that slow ass vista SP2 update.

I did not even install 1/10th of all my precious programs back.

But live is beautiful.

that's a pretty serious bug. Have you reported it to the bug tracker?

Ugh... sorry to hear that, Instance. Yeah, I'm still having the same problem. I'm guessing that a resinstall of Windows is probably going to be in order...

:shock: that's a pretty serious bug. Have you reported it to the bug tracker?

I wasn't sure if it was a bug or if it was something wrong with my system, so I thought I'd ask first to see if this has happened to anyone else.

Is it possible that uninstalling still leaves something about Construct in the registry?

Well... I couldn't get Construct to work normally again. I dug out an old harddrive and did a fresh install of Windows 2000 Pro on it, and Construct is working again.

I think this might be a very specific problem that shouldn't be worried about, though.

My C: drive died around the same time that Construct's event editor stopped working, and even though I had Construct installed on my D: drive I have a feeling that it somehow affected it. Even after I removed the fauly C: drive and installed my other drive as either the primary or secondary, slave or master, it still was recognized as the "D:" drive (even when it was the only drive installed).

Sooo... hopefully these same circumstances don't happen to you.
