No, not the icon... This is a warning to all! Whatever you do, when you're in-editor, do not press the '\' - also known as the '|' button! This key is the Preview button shortcut and hasn't been removed. This means that the Preview is still lurking in the source code somewhere.... So remember kids.... Watch out for the Preview!

I was working on Level 3 of Fate, I got real far (I know, it's my fault - I didn't save. So it deserves to crash, right? Pfft. Of course) and I went for the 'Enter' button and accidentally went into Preview.

Just a warning and a note to all...

There are only two possible explanations on why you still use 1.09!
1-You honestly think 1.09 is superior to 1.17
2-You have a pirated copy of FPSC,because of which you can't update.

Now which one is it?

Zay many people still prefer 1.09 over all newer ones. In a way this is why Lee went back to v1.0 for his base and started again making v1.17 etc

Lee fixed the shortcut, and you cannot access it with the TGC released version of 1.17. I just tested it myself.

Blackfox is on vacation. He'll be back today and probably raring to go tomorrow. If not sooner.

I tested the official release as well and the short cut doesn't work. I also can't find any code in the official release source that would do this. PW, you sure you aren't using a prior beta version?

Yea, when I save (which is frequent) nothing every goes wrong. But when I don't save I lose it.

I never press enter. I prefer pressing the "U" button. THe preview button is nowhere near that. So it hasn't been bugging me too much. Couple of tiems when pressing "1", I accidentally press "ยง"


My old YouTube account got deleted. My new account is called MetalFPSC. thanks for your time!

If he did, how in anyway would that mean he can't update? Enlighten me. Fpsc has updates to drown a wale in.

You should have to validate that you own FPSC to be able to use the FPSC forums, as in put your cd-key into your account details, that way all the people with pirated copies would be kicked out and it would stop people moaning about it all the time.

PW, how can you press \ when trying to press enter, its on the opposite side of the keyboard.

I've read,that if you update to anything above 1.09 the segment appear gray and/or FPSC turns into the free version.

For my keyboard it's right about the enter. My keyboard has a key which has the | and \ symbols, and sometimes I use my pinky to press enter and there goes preview.... but not anymore, thankfully.


@MetalDevil, 'U' also makes an entity go up automatically also?
