GB Studio 4.2.2 now available!
This is another small bug fix release addressing a few issues found in 4.2.0 and 4.2.1.
If you noticed off-screen actors briefly appearing when a scene loads, or were unable to build your project after resizing a background image, please try this version.
Japanese users are strongly encouraged to upgrade, as this version also fixes an issue where projects could fail to save correctly when scenes contained certain Japanese characters.

I've noticed that in my game that whenever you close the game on itch or analouge pocket, it deletes the saves. BUT it does work fine to save and not close the game. Do you know what is happening? If you need more details please tell me
I was having the actor issue. Funnily enough I managed to resolve it with a manual fade after a split second wait, but I'll gladly download the true fix!
Noice.
