GameMaker room_restart() freezing the game.

(English is not my native language, so ignore if something is wrong)

I'm trying to make my room restart when the character dies, but the game freezes instead. I put the function on the "home" button to see if it worked, but the game simply freeze the moment I press the button and it returns to normal when I release.

here is the code:

if keyboard_check(vk_home) {
room_restart();
}

Use keyboard_check_released() instead of keyboard_check().

Use keyboard_check_released() instead of keyboard_check().

I'd recommend keyboard_check_pressed instead, but you'd essentially get the same result.

For context, keyboard_check returns true as long as the key is held down, so for every step that that key is held down (30x per second by default,) the room is restarting. To the human eye, this looks like a game freeze.

both options did nothing.

Ok, I just put the same code in another project and it worked out perfectly.
