I am excited, but i cant use C2 :(

I havent been on in a while or messed with Construct in a while until i heard the good news of early license :). So i was excited to start playing with the idea. But then i find out that when i downloaded C2 i cant see the layout at all. And when i add sprites i cant edit them either or see the drawing canvas. Any suggestions?

I suggest you to read "How to report bugs" so that we might have tracks to help you.

Also is what's happening to you similar to what's described : in this post

Oops, I thought I fixed this. What's your graphics card?

Have you tried the latest r51 release?

I'm not home atm. I'm running a Windows XP and ATI Radeon, but not sure on the model number yet. And yes i have tried r51.

Me too, i have ATI Radeon X1600 Pro, then image editor looks messed up and i can't even see active sprites at layout...

the strange thing is that i can see the layout in r39 and above except for r51.

edit. it seems to work fine in virtualbox running xp

I'm getting a similar error with the latest version of C2 - I can't see the layout screen itself, but everything else is fine. I'm using Windows 7 with a AMDM880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 (yeesh, what a mouthful!) graphics card and have re-installed C2 a ludicrous number of times.

(I think there was a similar bug with r44 or so with that kind of graphics card.)

Yes, its a problem with ATi Radeon Mobility graphics cards it seems. <img src="smileys/smiley6.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
