v1.4 fix crash
3 people have reported gary crashing on startup – unfortunate! even worse, they’re saying that gary is crashing their whole pc. this project uses some odd OS features (transparent windows etc) so things are bound to be a bit weird for some people, but crashing your whole pc is really bad. I’m sorry about that.
I looked at gary’s code and noticed some strange behavior – after he disappears, the timer to bring him back was running incredibly slowly. I changed the way that he disappears (the window now stays onscreen, just invisible and un-clickable) which fixed that issue.
So… the crash might be fixed now? I can’t verify it because it never crashed for me, but I fixed some weird behavior that was causing some other trouble, and I upgraded Godot to the latest version of the engine. Hopefully the crashes are fixed!
if gary still crashes after this update:
I can’t figure out what’s going on without more info!
- what sort of computer do you have – windows 11, mac, etc? how old is it?
- send me the godot.log file:
godot.log file location
- Windows:
%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\gary\logs\godot.log - Linux:
~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/gary/logs/godot.log - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/gary/logs/godot.log
thanks! and sorry for the trouble

gary keeps appearing in the top left corner also stopping me from clicking anything
what’s your computer’s OS? and send me a log file please! (instructions are at the bottom of the devlog)
“stopping me from clicking anything” - do you mean that the small area right behind gary is unclickable, or your entire desktop is unclickable?
im sorry but i deleted gary off my pc so i sadly don't have the log files to clarify i meant i was unable to press any part of my desktop due to gary opening as a tab instead of opening in the background
oh yea and as for OS this is the best i can give
