Hello,
when editing a game and choosing "Build/Rebuild all files", I get the message:
Failed to save room room1.crm; details below
_AutoGenerated.ash(67): Macro 'DEBUG' is already defined
The online help says that the most likely cause is two things with the same name. In that case, I'm at a loss what those names might be.
I can't read _Autogenerated.ash, so I can only guess at what the code tries to autogenerate.
So how do I hunt down the misalignment?
AGS version 3.4.1
Windows 10

It's "DEBUG" name, as the error reports.
Make sure that you do not have any GUIs, characters, views, variables, etc called "DEBUG".
Also, AGS silently creates a number of numeric constants for characters, views, gui and something else, by taking out first letter in their name, for example if you have character cDebug, it will create DEBUG constant, that could also cause this error.
Also did you know you can highlight a word in a script and right click an option to find all uses of that word in all scripts? Useful tool, although if it is the name of a view etc, that's not going to find it that way. Just incase you weren't aware, that's all.

Thanks a lot: That pinpointed the problem. :-D Although I didn't have DEBUG for anything, I did have a GUI named
gDebug (for showing debugging variables on-screen). Renaming that GUI to gDebugx made the error go away.
Also, special thanks to you and to ManicMatt for the ultra fast response time! 8-)
