There are 30+ versions of nw.js on the official scirra nw.js download page at https://www.scirra.com/nwjs

Many of these are set to to work with Construct2 217+ but how do I know which one is best? Why wouldn't I always want the newest one? Whats the general rule regarding when to update nw.js for my system?

Ashley can you provide some guidance?

If you use Greenworks, you need to stick to the specific version your version of the Greenworks plugin is built for.

Otherwise, just use the latest.

The old versions are mainly there in case you run in to a bug and want to roll back.

If you use windows Vista or XP, you'll have to use v0.13.2 or older. Anything newer than chromium 49 will not work on vista or xp because support for those platforms have been dropped.

Also, Mac OS X releases 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 have been dropped
