My Ge has this strange error, where symbols start replacing text in the menus:


It then crashes upon your next menu click, though if i click save, it does successfully save before the crash.

I tried to fix this by editing gameeditor.ini, and making the following changes:
MaxUndoLevels=0
PersistentUndo=False

Remember to always create a backup of an ini file before editing it!

The problem got better, but it still persists.

This happened to me several times in the past too. I don't know about your case, but my strange symbols would actually change at 60 fps in the editor! Soon after that GE would crash...

That happened to me too, but GE didn't crash.

Me too, but only when i was making 2 of my hundreds of games, try not to use script editor too much, and it seemed to add 10 mins to the time between when it crashes...and save a lot more than usual. XD

That would basically mean NOT making a game.

As my game gets more complex, the problem gets worse. It's now happening every 2-5 CLICKS/edits. That is crazy.
I'm saving the game after every single edit, every single 'add action' at the bottom of script editor, i have to save the game.
To reset the problem, i don't even have to exit ge, i just have to re-open the game from the file menu.

Note still that the game plays PERFECTLY!

One interesting note about it, is that when it happens in a script window, it affects a certain block; if you scroll the script, any script appearing in that exact block on the screen will be changed to strange symbols. Scroll down a line, and that line becomes ok, and the next line alters in that same spot.

Something to do with displaying the text only, as when you run the game, even with those errors, all the scripts are fine and it still plays fine.

re-installing GE worked for me when i had this error. and i hasnt come back since *knocks on wood*

yup very irritating it has never happened to me but when it does i will be angry! well i am sorry i can't help
