This is a bug that happened to me years ago where while coding I wasn’t able to play the simulator at all and it would be a black screen, if I pressed the menu button I would be able to see for a half a second before it returned to black. I’m just curious if anyone can figure out why this is occurring as it really set my progress back on this project.

Im so sorry you had this issue man. I had it happen to me too and the culprit is the 3D RENDER! I removed it and your editor came back to life. I hope this fixes it!

Same! 3D is already on, so just change it to Tilemap. Just put the tilemap.
