 Serious bug - Create new Game in designer
Allright, I just lost 2 months of work, but maybe if this bug is removed no other poor creator will have to share my fate of having my head bald from pulling all my hair off after realizing what happened...
So, anyway here is what to do to reproduce (do not try this on live game you are creating unless you have a backup stored safely - eg. in different dir):
1) open the 'normal' (existing) game in designer for editing 2) get an idea that you would like to try something new so you save your work and click File/New in designer. 3) pick your simple test game template 4) hit debug game 5) your original game is gone
By selecting NEW in the designer, the designer DOES NOT reset the file name of the game keeping the last one that has been open so when you select to debug, the game is saved automatically overwriting the original game...
Unfortunately for me, I hit the debug few times before I noticed the unchanged name in the title bar...

Maybe sent in an email or posted anywhere on the internet? I'll make sure the name gets reset when new game is selected. Thanks, Steve

 Re: Serious bug - Create new Game in designer
Well I have backup... 2 months old... But, well, things like that happen... What is important that it is going to be fixed so hopefully no one else will have to share this fate
