  Can it be that the saved state contains some object that has been since removed from the project?

  I would try disabling "Load" action in the event sheet, run the game, save into this slot (to overwrite any old saved data). Then re-enable loading and test.

  Are they animated? Check Origin image point position in all frames.

  If this doesn't help, you need to post your project.

  So when exactly does this error happen? When you do System Load? Or System Save? Or writing/reading to Local Storage?

  You need to show a screenshot of relevant events.

  It's great that you post these videos, but you should probably add something like "Video tutorial:" in the subject, otherwise it looks like you are asking a question.

  Here is what I usually do in my projects -

  in Loader layout: On start of layout -> Check if Local Storage item exists -> Wait 1 second -> Go to Main layout

  One second should be enough to read data from LS, and I never read it again in other parts of the game.

  simstratic Awesome analysis! How do you know so much about the inner workings of Construct?

  simstratic Yeah, there's probably a lot of optimization going on.. Looks like the polygon shape matters more than the number of points. The polygon on the right has fewer points, but it's slower than the left one!

  

  Anyway, I'm still testing with an extreme number of collision checks. If there is one ball in the game, adding 5-10 extra points to its polygon for a more rounded shape will not cause any problems.

  If you set the text color with code, you can also save this color value in a variable (global or instance). Or in 3 variables for r, g, b. Then you'll be able to compare the variable.

  jobel Splitting the image into multiple parts, and pinning them to some base object (with drag&drop behavior) will require a lot more effort. And I imagine performance wise it will be much worse than one object with a complex collision polygon.

  I think it's a bug, but a really cool one! :)

  jobel I sometimes need more than 10 points, when the shape is very complex, or when I need a perfect curve/circle, or like in this example when I needed to make a hole in the sprite:

  

  Cascade Games I did test on mobile with a smaller number of objects, and the difference in performance is still around 30%. Like I mentioned, it's an extreme case - 20 points per polygon is a lot! And 2.5M collision checks per second is something that should never happen in a real game.
