(“Hello! Welcome to Playdate… Let’s do a little setup to get started” and so on) When I restarted the Playdate, it started going through the intro and setup process as if it was factory reset. I realized my mistake, rebuilt the game using the 1.13.7 SDK, and re-uploaded it using the 1.13.7 simulator (Device -> Upload game to device).Ī few moments later, my Playdate was showing a crash screen (“Press A to continue” with no option to press B for the log) and the simulator was (IIRC) stuck on “waiting for disk” and wouldn’t let me cancel. When it tried to run the game, of course it gave an error saying the game requires a newer OS version. I accidentally used the SDK 2.0 beta 2 simulator to upload a game built for OS 2.0 onto my Playdate running OS 1.13.7. I posted more details in that thread, but I’m leaving this one up in case the crash logs help diagnose anything.
Update: based on the discussion in Device boot-loop / possible launcher bug? I believe my issue was actually caused by a game called Heavy Drinker that I had recently sideloaded after its author posted on discord asking for playtesters.
