The Powder Toy

Why is TPT so glitchy nowadays?

    Ever since the last few updates TPT has been very glitchy for me...

    Opening saves fails half the time.
    Saving fails often.
    stamps glitch out. (Don't get deleted, Thumbnails don't match stamp, etc..)
    Save corrupt errors. (even though it isn't corrupt)
    Deco sampling hardly works.
    CRASHES!!!!!

    Sorry to rant, I just remember TPT to run Completely smooth before...
    Seems like it's taken a step backwards instead of forwards.

    Don't get me wrong... The comments scrolling and multiple stamp/save selecting is great.
    But it's just not worth all the instability.

    so, opinions? And have you noticed these glitches?

    Yeah, we're not technically playing Powder Toy anymore. The whole game was replace with Powder Toy ++, wholesale.

    So you can expect some bugs, mistakes in translating.

    The decoration sampling seems to only work when your brush size is larger then one pixel.

    Are you on a mac?, because that version is the glitchiest of them all. It will crash after a while. No one has a mac to debug on either. The only glitch i've seen myself (I don't use the c++ port though) is the one with the stamp thumbnails being confused and messed up. If you are on a mac though, then all the rest will probably happen.

    Naa I'm not on mac. In fact I just reinstalled Windows so my comp is running as smooth as could be.

    ok. Do you have slow / bad internet then? One of the moderators has Dial-up, I didn't even know that still existed, and problems like that happen a lot. Also, where specifically do the crashes happen? The latest version fixes the ones when deleting stamps, getting an error while saving, and rapidly opening and closing the save preview (the screen with the comments).
