Hi.
I am new to Defold, and I am doing the tutorial. I downloaded and opened the editor. I signed in when it told me to. I then opened the Getting Started Tutorial project. After I had opened it, I double clicked the main/main.selection thing as it told me to. It then started to load, however, it randomly crashed. I have done this over many times and it still does not work. Any ideas why, and how to fix it?
What do you see in the error log?
Are you using the editor on Windows, Linux or OSX? Do you get any kind of crash dump or log or something like that?
I’m using OSX. There is a Problem Report that pops up right after it crashes.
Is there a reason you are not updating your Mac OS X version?
Could you also open finder, locate the Defold.app, right click and select Show Package Contents and then navigate to Contents/MacOS/ and post any *.log files from that folder.
@sven, @jakob.pogulis, @Mathias_Westerdahl, @Andreas_Tadic: What additional pieces of information do we need to troubleshoot this?
Can you post more of the crash?
My computer is too old to update to a newer version.
