It happens for me too sometimes on Linux 64. (had to compile myself since 6 builds stopped) There is no set number of times he spwans before this happens, but once it happens stickman will NEVER spawn again in the same instance of PT. Even in a new save. You have to switch to stickman2 i you don't feel like restarting PT.
No, The problem is when stickman died he keep dying so I will erase him and put him someweare else but he is dying still and sometimes he even cant be erased or he wont move and he"s head will be on Fire HELP
