This sounds awesome - Is it a spritesheet format or something else?

If you select the objects the way fredetmumu suggested you can then click the Edit menu at the top and pick Delete. Also pressing the Delete key on your keyboard should work too.

It's hard to make a good guess to be honest. I suggest you go by process of elimination and try to remove/disable parts of your events until the crashes stop happening. Then you'll have more clues to...

If I remember correctly it is not that Fusion automatically converts shaders on the fly. The Fusion update installers are packaged with new DX11 versions which has been manually created by Clickteam...

Don't you have to write both versions manually? Unless I missed something I don't think Fusion has an auto-porting feature.
I haven't converted anything myself but Yves wrote a tutorial on how to go...

If I understand correctly then this should do the trick:

There's definitely cleaner ways to do this but here's a "for each loop" approach that might work for you.
