C3 Remote Preview (Full Screen Problem & Slow) On Mobiles

Hi Ashley

Is there any possibility that you can show us how you managed to preview in C2 with a full screen? to use it with our "C3 LOCAL PREVIEW"

Why does the C3 Remote preview doesn't preview in full screen and on C2 it works?

I'm wasting many many hours trying to make the mobile game UI as I needed to test in full screen to make work for both (Web & Mobile) but it's very difficult and time-consuming as I have to export each project and install it on the phones, makes changes export again etc.... just to test them in full screen.

Also on old phones like iphone6, it's still loading very slow the C3 remote preview. I don't understand why you don't include the C2 preview over wifi into c3? as this works perfectly, it loads the games very fast and also it previews them in full screen so it's easier to make mobile games and test them.

If you don't want to add it in c3 because you want to leave the "C3 remote preview" as a Paid feature then you can add the C2 preview over wifi in c3 as paid feature too, so you don't lose anything. I really don't understand why you remove it when you could have added them both as paid features. You made our lives so hard for making mobile games.

Hi, Thanks for your response,

I don't know what you mean. I would have thought they both displayed the same in a mobile browser or supported the "request fullscreen" action equally. What difference are you referring to exactly?

If I Remote Preview on C3 into my iPhone6 this is how it will look like using Scale Outer:

it adds the top and bottom grey bar which makes it difficult to set the UI for all the screen sizes + desktop

Also, I tried to add Request full screen with events but that doesn't work either

=====================================================================================

But if you use C2 Preview over wifi it will go full screen automatically no events needed, this is how it looks like:

No Top or bottom grey bars

So this is exactly how it will look like if you export it to the App store with Cordova so it's easier with c2 preview over wifi to create and adjust all the UI as you never need to export it just to see how the UI will look like at full screen, saving you the need to export each time just for testing UI etc....

=====================================================================================

Also as I've said in the past, remote preview should be as fast as local preview, so long as the device can establish a LAN connection. Whether or not that happens depends on your network configuration, which is out of our control unfortunately.

Yes, I understand, that's why I was asking the why? because as a company knowing that no everyone has fast internet normally you would add the tech that would cover most of the cases and that it will not depend on the internet so everyone can experience fast-loading the same as C2 Preview over wifi does just to be on the safe side to appel all the customers not only the ones that have fast internet, I guess wouldn't hurt to add as an extra the C2 preview over wifi and don't forget that also has the bonus that it previews directly on full screen on mobiles which is very important if you build Apps because otherways it forces you to export as Cordova and install on the phones each time just to test the UI etc... to see how it will look on real life. You will fix two problems at once.
