edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
When my app is opened for the first time it opens up the main menu. When they close the app while playing a level and then open it again it opens on that level. How do I make it open on the main menu every time they open it? Please help this is a real problem because if the app freezes on a level, It will be frozen on that level forever. Also, how can I keep my app from crashing?

    As far as disabling mutli-tasking you cannot.

    As far as keeping your app from crashing you need to optimise its performance.

    What are you GS Viewer numbers like?

    Thanks for the help, I appreciate it... So if the app freezes, it is stuck like that forever because of multi-tasking?

    Okay so my numbers are definitely not good... The total starts at about 25mb but goes up about 3-4 mb for each new level. For example, it is already at 61.4 mb by level 11!!!!!! How do I fix this?

    Thank You.

    if you double tab the home button on your iphone it will show what is running. then you can tap and hold and little red circles will appear in those icons that are cuurrently running. tap them to close them (it will not delete them).

    Unless each level is just adding to the current level it shouldn't increase like that for each scene change. Unless of course you levels get larger and larger then the extra art might be causing that. Or spawning I guess doesn't really release well between levels though maybe heck I don't know with seeing the project. Read up on optimizing your game. hopefully it will help you out.

    No im just using a change scene method and the levels don't get 4mb bigger for each one... so, I really don't understand either. Do you have any ideas?
