I am working on a game right now, but the custom spritekinds i created keep disappearing. I can add it back but it is very annoying to do so.
Is anyone else having the same problem?

I think everyone has had this problem before, even the mods, and I don’t think there is a way to fix it

Idk if it was fixed, but the variables also disappear sometimes, especially the ones with custom names. At one point this happened every 5-10 minutes, but I think it’s been fixed. Also be careful when you delete blocks while holding Ctrl, because sometimes, the block drags a whole chunk of other code in its way.

You can probably try to reload an earlier version but that might delete some of your progress…

I went ahead to close all my tabs and right now it is working fine, hope it does not persist.

Reload might save the problem

Yeah, my solution is to publish the project, then edit it, and it should fix it. From what I’ve seen, it seems to only do that in some projects.

yeah, this used to keep happening with my ck5 project but ever since my project got opened in two places and duplicated itself, the issue seemed to have fixed itself in the new one. I’ve never been so happy to see “Your project had a conflict” in my life.

i can now happily report that the SpriteKind and Variable disappearing bug has finally been fixed! the bug fix was released moments ago and the new version of arcade is 2.0.61 (you can check what version by clicking “About” in the gearwheel menu). it might take a second for your computer to download the update but it should be automatically refreshed when you go to the website.
