Might be best to upload the files somewhere and open a thread and show the error.
Easiest way is to hop onto the Discord channel: https://discord.gg/MY5ZTgZHBg
As MeltingPenguins said, your code is probably looping. Funnily enough, one of the features of the new version is that only the game will freeze on an endless loop (not the entire application).
Thank you so much @CJW ! Iāll keep looking at it and see if I can figure out why itās looping now where it wasnāt before

Well, Iām over the moon. Itās fixed. I copy/pasted the problem bits out, ran it, everything worked, then i copy/pasted them back in, and now itās running fine. Thanks for everyoneās help, I really appreciate it!

When using the web version of this program, I am often given the notification that another program has made changes or alterations since I last saved a scene. (I save scenes usually once every few seconds, so this would have to be a continually-running problem).
Has anyone else experienced this, and should I be concerned?
If youāre saving scenes once every few seconds, I can imagine there is some element of latency that is causing confusion. Do you really need to save your files that aggressively?
Probably a dumb question, but is there anyway to import text files to CSIDE?
I just got a new laptop and Iām figuring out the best way to keep working on my current project (which is saved to my desktop). Do I need to create a new project when I download CSIDE on my laptop and then manually cut and paste the text files into it? Or is there a more elegant way?
Just copy the project folder, and paste it into the CSIDE save directory on the new computer.
Then use the āopen new scene filesā button, and choose all the files in the project folder.

Thanks! I will do that tonight.
Iām so excited about being able to code/write at the dining room table or on the back deck for the first time in 6 years, Iām not thinking clearly.

CSIDE āprojectsā donāt exactly exist, itās basically just something CSIDE uses to group together text files in the same folder.
So as Lady Luck says above, all you need to do is āopenā your desired text files, just like any other text editor. CSIDE will automatically group them into a project if theyāre in the same folder.

Yup - It basically came down to me never having used the āopen new scene filesā command before. I had always just started writing projects in the program and had used the same desktop for so long.

So I have a question @CJW
I donāt know if itās been asked
One day I opened CSIDE only to find the last chapter I was working in showing weird symbols
It talked about encoding error
But it was showing text the day before
Did it look like so? File writes can be interrupted (corrupting files) Ā· Issue #41 Ā· ChoicescriptIDE/main Ā· GitHub
Unfortunately itās a known issue with how CSIDE handles files. I had put this down as wonāt fix as itās really rare, and a previous fix I had introduced other regressions. Basically something interrupted the file write, I think most instances of this has been attributable to laptops: batteries dying or sleeping at the wrong time.
Iāve re-opened the issue, and Iāll see about trying another fix for for v1.4.

Yes it had to do with my PC battery dying
Thank You so much 
The last few days, every time I open CSIDE, my project files are all set to invisible, and while itās easy to turn them visible again, I would prefer it to just be visible by default. Is there a switch in the settings somewhere? I havenāt been able to find it.
As an aside, it took me several minutes to spot the visibility switch the first time this happened (during which I feared that my game might be lost); would it make sense to have it more obvious, at least when toggled off?

Thatās unusualā¦ I can only suggest closing and reopening the projects, but the state should be consistent (i.e. if theyāre visible on close, they should be visible on re-open).
Iām open to suggestions for visibility improvements. Do you have anything specific in mind?

Thanks; that seems to have worked.
As for the visibility, I donāt have anything specific, Iām afraid. At present, though, it fades out when itās toggled, which does look better, but it might be easier to spot if it didnāt?

Iām trying to load my game (using the browser ver of CSIDE) to see how it runs but it keeps saying the startup scene doesnāt exist?
I made a new project file and it seems that the choicescript_stats would load but not the startup scene. Help please~
I am using a Chromebook.
Do you have the same issue if you create a new project from scratch? You could also try clearing your browserās cache/cookies, or using incognito mode.
It would also be helpful if you could press F12 to pull up the browser dev tools, the next time the issue happens, and paste any relevant errors/warnings that appear in the console.
Yes I have the issue when I even start from scratch. But I will try what youāve told me and get back to you. Thank you for replying!
