I was working in Stencyl last night and everything was ok. Today I was trying to test the game and I get whitescreen. I created new scene(red background no behaviors) marked is as starting scene and tried to test it. I get white screen. No comments in log list as game starts. As it was loading I saw however a lot of [Err] Intial value = 0.0. I created new game + new scene with red background. It worked. Any idea what happened and how it can be fixed?

If I helped you be sure to mention it in your game.

I got this error in my game when I created a custom block that was supposed to have a return value but did not return anything because I forgot to include the "return"  block for all code paths. If that is not the case for you, I would try to deactivate all the events you were working on last until the white screen problem goes away (You might of course get other errors if your game is dependent on the other events, but the goal is to get the game "running" again beyond the white screen) Then activate the events back one by one to see in which event produces the white screen problem.

I created scene with no eventr or behaviors! I think my game got corrupted and I am back to my last save. I copy-pasted my folder with game into games folder but Stencyl doesn't see it as I lunch it. Why? :(

What I was trying to say was: There are certain errors that result in the "white screen" problem. This problem will then always appear until the error is resolved, even if you (like you already did) create a blank new scene and try to test it. So as long it is not too much work, I would try to disable the events you recently worked on to see if the error goes away as suggested above.

Unfortunately I don't know why Stencyl does not recognize your backup...normally this should work as you described it. Did you maybe copy it into the "games-generated" folder instead of "games" by accident?

It's in good folder. But I decided to start new game and copy-paste actors+behaviours from the corrupted version.

I had 2 custom events with the same name in the behavior. Fixed the name fixed the problem
