My game seems to have perished… may it rest in peace. Putting my bad joke aside, anyone know what this is? It just randomly appeared.

it means it lagged out is how I’d put it it just got overloaded just do one of these and it should be fixed

1.hit the arrow next to simulator to close it and then open it by hitting it again

2. relaod the page

3. go out of the project and go back in

4.restart the device

You should try to refresh the page! Then it would probably go away! At least I think so…

It’s probably a bug.

There are multiple instances of this happening, the simulator is a bit buggy.

The new release is buggy, give it time for bugs to be squashed.
