FYI Android SDK can cause Creator to have music playback issues

Just something that was observed by another user and myself regarding the Android SDK and GS Creator. It appears that if you have the Android SDK installed in your home directory as instructed by GS, it can cause the current version of GS Creator to stutter music playback and cause some other minor performance issues. I was able to test this on two completely different systems (a entry level MacBook Air, and current top-of-the-line iMac) with reproducible results. So if you have the Android SDK installed and have noticed that music tracks stutter during preview you can 1) Remove the Android SDK or 2) Create a separate user account without the SDK installed in its home directory and edit there. Hop back into your other user file to publish.

I have not tested what happens if you just keep moving the SDK file into and out of your home directory. I think its self contained, and it might work.

    interesting. Have you forwarded this information to GS http://arcade.gamesalad.com/feedback ?

    This is good info for them to have as it may help them alleviate the need for a workaround.

    This is defineitly a problem. Beefy started a thread about this too. If you create a new user on your mac and run GS on that account the problem stops.

    I hope that GS fixes this.
