there are bigger issues warrior.

If there is no fix for this then games are broken in normal mode.
This would severely impact new users to this product as they cannot create and run their games.

New users need time to learn the product so won't be jumping into advanced mode straight away. However this bug stops them from running any of their games.

@warrior No offense, but I find your DK avatar to be rather cringy. I still miss your original roblox avatar.
This is offtopic plus you should not talk about other people being cringeworthy unless you remove the video in your bio. Plus this avatar was literally just a oof head, im a DK fanboy, and you havent zoomed in enough to see the text. (however it's pretty normal since the text is so small the only way to know it is to intentionally zoom in to 500% or already have seen the pic so im putting it for you below).

50% huh? Its like 99%. And 9 legends? Who are them? Just curiosity

I finally managed to get my game to work.

For me, just setting the Start Location didn't work for me. I need to do an extra step....

Previously when I started the game I didn't choose my old game data but instead chose a new game slot but that didn't work.

What I found to work was having to delete all previous game data from all game slots and start from scratch.

So for users to get things to work, setup the Start Location and delete all your old game data

to setup Start Location
 Menu -> Edit Game Screens -> Title Screen

then choose Settings -> Start Location

I've updated my game "Jet Set Manic Adventure" in the Explore section and it seems to be  working now. Could everyone give it a test to check it is all working and give me feedback if something is not running correctly

... so now off to create some new games ....  hooray !!!

Did you uninstall old version and reinstall new version ?

Also delete all game save files (reinstalling game might do this automatically)

Yeah of course, everything you mention here are basic things that everyone can do.

to clarify you went to the "Explore" section of Platform Builder
and ran the latest version of "Jet Set Manic Adventure"
chose "New Game"

so at this point did the game just return back to Title screen and didn't allow you to choose a new game slot

or

did it allow you to choose a new game slot and once chosen it returned to the Title screen



This is odd since I can run my game from the Explore section perfectly and have no issues. So I suspect that there might be other issues at play.

Yeah pretty much it, except strating new game returns to title without creating the savefile (music is also cut). I checked my file integrity and it persists, but it looks alot like a local anomaly to me. Did anyone else tried playing it?

@warrior Just so you know, (just for clarity) checking file integrity only makes sure that you have all of the files you need for your game to work. That's it. And PB doesn't have many files, just the exe, and an extractor program and...well, that's pretty much it. So checking file integrity I doubt would help much.

Looks like instead of being helpful and answering simple questions, you decided to strike on everyone by highlighting every minor error.

@warrior Most of the time when I don't answer a question I don't have a really good answer.
And I was just trying to clarify things. That's it.

What if you tried to be helpful? You could get back you past glory, do you want that or not?

@warrior I can't argue with you that I haven't been that helpful lately, and it's mostly because other than these fourms, I'm very disconnected from PB, and I help when I can, but I've just not really checked much into solving problems, since other people seem to be fine answering questions. Though there is something I have not stated, which is that PB's been broken, and I did check for file integrity yesterday and apparently when I was messing with Re-Shade files, I apparently erased a PB file, so it did re-download the file, and I haven't tested to see if PB works. I did this to do saiwong a favor in testing his game like I said I would. Me not being able to open PB has discouraged me from looking into things somewhat, which is one reason I haven't been super helpful here. If I know how to do something already, and I'm sure it works, then I'll give my advice, but if not, I usually don't say anything to help resolve the problem. I'm sorry about this, and I'll do better in the future. ;) Thx, Warrior.

This is offtopic plus you should not talk about other people being cringeworthy unless you remove the video in your bio. Plus this avatar was literally just a oof head, im a DK fanboy, and you havent zoomed in enough to see the text. (however it's pretty normal since the text is so small the only way to know it is to intentionally zoom in to 500% or already have seen the pic so im putting it for you below).
Just moderating myself for one time because after all I assume not everyone use advanced.

Thanks :D

Anyways, I think actually using simple mode is quite stupid. Basically cuz Simple and Advanced mode are quite similar, and its not really harder to use Advanced Mode, so Simple Mode is just... limiting.
