Alright, so my mapmaker keeps crashing every 15 minutes, and i don't really know why, there was no cause for the crash as well, also sometimes when i'm about to save, then before the last moment it crashes, any way to fix this? :?:

After using the map editor myself recently I noticed it crashes after roughly 15 minutes after opening the ScriptAPI via the script window using Mozilla Firefox (my default internet browser).
The windows log:
► Show Spoiler
What I can track down is that it's related to some sound drivers oddly enough.

I don't know why this only happens for me after opening the ScriptAPI via the script window using Firefox. I'm just guessing it's some deeper bug in windows when using XNA with Windows Forms and starting other processes in certain situations - and we can't fix this. The solution is simple for me - avoid opening the ScriptAPI via the script window and I can use the editor for hours :) (or open the scriptAPI and then restart SFD).

Your problem might be different. Next time SFD crash please check your windows logs in the windows Event Viewer.
- Open in in the run prompt (windows + R) by typing "eventvwr" and press enter.
- Select "Windows Logs" in the left tree.
- Select "Application" under "Windows Logs" in the left tree.
- See if you can see any "Error" log and if it's part of SFD.
- Paste it into this thread.
