So there I was, working merrily on 2* for a while, getting quite a bit done, and after I decide to start working on the game again, the entire goddamned program starts going haywire. The game takes an EXCRUCIATINGLY long time to load and exit the game, but the best part is that the display is COMPLETELY CORRUPTED. It starts off like at 2 frames per second, then goes upwards of 50ish (it's supposed to run at 60), with a completely messed up background, the game displaying another font other than the one that I assigned to it, and it just looks like an oldass NES game that pisses all over the screen when it messes up.

Better yet, I didn't make a "backup" to go back to, since this is the very first time in 5+ years that I've used Game Maker that this has ever happened to me. I can try to see if I can salvage the project somehow, and I probably will, but it's still very annoying to spend several more hours fixing your game because of something that's GM's fault.

Funny how the more you get done, the exponentially greater a chance of you losing that work. It's like Karma's being bitch or something.
