No matter where I install the software, no matter where I save my projects, what file or folder name I give them (I am not using any whitespaces), and what resources I use, I can't open ANY project without getting the following error: "Something went horribly wrong and an unhandled exception has been caught". It basically means the moment I close EFPSE, I can never return to that project again, because it'll just crash on me. It's making me incredibly demotivated. Any idea what could be causing this?
I can build and test my games just fine, although even this is not reliable, as sometimes it crashes on 'New Game'. The splash screen also claims that I'm using a Lite Version of EFPSE, despite the fact I've bought and am using the full version.
Honestly, I'm not having much luck. I had a much better time with the lite version; I've not been able to make a single thing on the full version!
Hi, sorry, it's been a while since I've been near my PC so I've not been able to respond your comments. Apologies!
Here's my error log:

It seems that some images are missing. If you can pack your project and send it to me, I'll see what is the problem.
But generally it can happen in two cases:
-Some of entity sprites are missing but were added. Happens if they were removed from the project folder.
-Some textures are missing, the same as with entity sprites.
Try to remember what you did. Maybe this will shed some light to the reason for this error to occur.
Thanks for the fast response JessicoChan!
I did some experimenting and I wonder if the image sizes weren't too big. The file sizes were okay, but the images themselves were very large. I opened up some new projects with smaller textures and props and it stopped the issue from occuring.
Another thing that may have happened is that the images I originally used were saved within a Cloud folder. Not sure how EFPSE works, but might any Cloud desyncs down the line caused an issue? I know I suffered a couple.
Thanks for the help. I had a feeling this was to do with the images as they were the first thing I experimented with.
Cloud storage might be a problem, however the editor copies all imported files into its own folder. You should not however store your project folder in a cloud, only your backup folder from where you import your files.
I'll be honest I haven't had it in mind that people would like to use cloud storage. I'll keep it in mind for next updates but not sure if it ever will be stable for use with clouds.
