Hi, I'd post this as a bug report in the provided tool, only it does not allow attachments of pictures - and Alex, we wrote about this before, but the tread was a mess, here's a clean start, I can reproduce the bug:

When having a Project with Prefabs referencing Global variables as Game objects in order to work with the rest of the game, it is when importing / updating other assets / packages that the bug happens.

I have seen that several times now, with various updates from the asset store.

See how my project now again is destroyed, attached screen shot. All I did was accept an update from these 3 packages that has nothing to do with PlayMaker:

http://u3d.as/content/jean-moreno-jmo-/cartoon-fx-pack-2/3iy
http://u3d.as/content/jean-moreno-jmo-/cartoon-fx-pack-3/57e

Like said: I have had this several times now, every time when I import another Unity Package - not one with PlayMaker DLL or snything. And both from the asset store and also importing my own models (after trying to rebuild projects that was destroyed by this bug)

I'm sorry if I come out as bitter here.. but I am right now!

Can you send me the project?
Also please confirm the Playmaker and Unity version numbers.

Until I can repro here, here are some things to try:

Close the Playmaker editor when importing packages.
Restart Unity after importing packages.
Use source control and check which files change after importing a package.
Revert any files that shouldn't have changed (scene files, prefabs, PlayMakerGlobals.asset...)

You also mentioned that this behaviour is recent. Have you added any other third party libraries to your project recently?

Alex, I send you a copy of the game, the scene I was at is the one named DSB. You control the game with keys:

qwer
asdf
zxcv

;) (Or dump to Android)

Unity version is kept at 4.3.4f1 due to incomparability with 4.5 and Curvy PlayMaker actions.
