Technical Difficulties - Unity Crashes

Save Every Few Minutes.

As the initial Build came to an end, Unity decided to crash. This would not have been too much of a problem, except no saved copy had been made in over an hour, and the crash happened mid-save. After rebuilding for the next hour and a half (saving every 5 minutes), an attempt was made to export a version of the file. To my dismay, Unity crashed again.

Several hours, and two computers later, it was discovered that a flaw in the previous update had prevented the file from exporting. The initial crash was most likely due to stress on the machine, as it was later followed by the dreaded "Blue Screen of Death".

 Correspondence to Doros (30/03/2016):
ML: "I have been attempting to send you the Demo build that we agreed upon all day, but for some unknown reason Unity keeps crashing as I am exporting the file. I will carry on with the export attempts but I am sending you this to confirm that the demo of level one has been built as requested. Unity has been crashing on both of my systems for the past two days, so I am unsure of what the problem is, but you shall recieve the demo as soon as it has been exported."

Correspondence to Doros (31/03/2016):
ML: "Apologies for this being a day later than agreed, It took till 1:40 this afternoon for all software problems to be fixed (apparently it was to do with the previous update not installing correctly on either system). Please a link to the first level demo, formatted as a web file for ease of access."
