I started working on a game a few years back, I decided to come back to it to add levels but it will constantly reset my progress back by a few min to a few hours and when it comes back I normally loose assets, I’ve lost many songs, tiles, and backgrounds to this issue and then it proceeds to make many copies of the game, its really hard to get anything done. Does anyone know how I can make it more reliable?
Hi Raccoonux,
We’re so sorry that you’re experiencing trouble. Can you give us a bit more context on what your environment looks like when you’re experiencing these copies getting created? You can follow the guidelines listed in this post so we can better help troubleshoot the problem. What to do when you encounter a bug - MakeCode Blog - Microsoft MakeCode

Yep. that happens to basically everyone (although progress being lost is normally rare)

No worries, I was just wondering if I did something wrong. I’ll give you some media later when I try coding at home but currently I can say that it would make copies which is no issue, but it would say its because the project is open at two places at once, though this is false (I have checked many times). And when the copies are made both the new and old versions are changed, as I mentioned I have lost songs assets, tilemaps and the tiles themselves, as well as this it would go back to a older version which was normally around the 10 minute mark of editing (say I coded for 2 hours, my progress might be reset to only having 10 min of work instead of the 2 hours). Occasionally the new copy will have no code at all which has scared me a few times lol (thankfully I have a few saves on GitHub). This is the majority of it. I am not entirely sure why it happens though, if you want to recreate it I would suggest trying to add code and random assets until something happens. It’s weird because I’ve never experienced anything like it with any old project and I am using a device with enough RAM to run it with ease so I’m just slightly confused. (also this has happened multiple times in case you were skeptical, nearly every time with this project since about a week ago)
I appreciate the help, I’ll get some more specific information for next time, good luck :>

yea makecode you really need to fix the game duping, i could have 1 instance open, and it would dupe 5 times (actually happened by the way) making me lose 30 minutes progress.
