Your .capx uses both non-standard plugins and non-standard behaviors, either of which could be the problem.

As it states, you should post a minimal .capx without these non-standard additions, or Ashley won't investigate.

zenox98 i work on this project few days why right now i have problem?

i see in alert window "sprite plugin" its not third party plugin

Just because a problem is reported by one part of a system, doesn't actually mean that it originated from there.

You're making an assumption, which may or may not be valid.

Regardless of that, Ashley consistently states he will not investigate if the provided .capx utilizes non-standard additions.

Lets wait for Ashley first Let him speak personally on this topic. I need to know what I have to do in the future to avoid such problems, How protect my project??

Absolutely fair enough.

I will say one thing though about protecting your work: in work as in life, the only one you can truly rely on is yourself.

So don't assume you can rely on a programs 'Save' or 'backup' features to protect you from problems. Rely on yourself, and save and backup frequently, to multiple locations.

Wasting a few minutes backing up and giving peace of mind is more preferable to losing important work.

Just my 2 cents.

Yes you have right about more backups but i have no luck because when i save, save have alredy errored state of my project i dont know its big problem so i save, close and try to open - crap

We can't help with projects which use third party plugins, sorry. You should only post bug reports with .capx files using official plugins only.

Further:

• your original post omits the actual error message text. This is important information and it is very difficult to diagnose any problems without knowing what the actual errors were.
• the alert dialog screenshot you posted in your second post appears to be displayed with severe glitches - this suggests some other kind of system problem or perhaps a buggy graphics card driver. This may be the real source of the problem.

Thanks Ashley for reply, you can close this topic.
