Windows 10, Java 8, Script Minifier?

I have Windows 10, and I was ready to compile an alpha release of something I'm working on to show a few friends. When I go to do so as an HTML5 project, I have "Minify script" selected, but then get an error.

I've encountered this before on Windows 7 (never had Win8) but was solved by removing Java and reinstalling. I've done this as a step here. Since that did not work, I browsed the forums. One suggestion (from a while back) said to delete C/Windows/jre and that did not work either.

So my question is this: how on Earth do I make this work? Should I be installing JDK or is JRE enough to perform this?

EDIT: Yes, it's 64 bit Windows, 64 bit Java, and 64 bit Construct 2.

You don't specify what version of C2 you are using. If it's r213, then it's a known bug. If not r213, then can you compile any other project?

Arg, I didn't realize it might be a known bug. And yes it's 213.

Okay so without minifying the script, nothing seems to work properly. I tried HTML5 and NW.js exporters and neither run the game. It's as though it's loading, but nothing is happening. No music, sounds, or graphics.

So for now we just have to wait?

There is a fix to get a non-minified compiled game working. I found the instructions, and it requires you ALREADY compile your game before doing this:

[quote:2x7icq7u]- go to generated/exported not-minified project folder and find c2runtime.js file

• find function that starts like: C2AudioInstance.prototype.getDuration = function (applyPlaybackRate)
• change

let ret = 0;

to

var ret = 0;
