  • Hello, just a quick note (Bit tied up to make bug report) but the new update gives me a strange error message instantly (It's strange, because the crash handler doesn't popup, but is at the top).

    drive.google.com/file/d/1CNCLmlHVD4Dlt5gnXcgBE0MCqwFkUdfU/view

  • Can you make the file public?

  • Opps, done, thanks!

    EDIT: Could very well be a plugin or theme or something, but this has never happened before when updating.

    EDIT 2: Also, I can't expand this error or anything, that's all I can see. It lets me continue to use C3, but that's as far as I tested.

  • It works fine for me. Are you sure it's not a third-party addon? (Try testing in a private browsing window to check)

    Can you share the platform information too? That gives a summary of the setup you're using.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Huh...Incognito worked.

    So I went back to my regular Chrome and I started deleting addons 1 by 1, refreshing in between, and I still get the error. I turned off "Enable experimental features" and still get this error. I can hop back to an old version of C3 and the error goes away.

    On the incognito, I started installing all my addons (only about 3 addons that I use), refreshing in between, and it worked fine, no errors. I applied the theme I use, refreshed, no errors.

    At least that's likely an easy quick fix for me, just clear my cache and start over. I use Chrome only for C3 so it's super easy for me, but I wonder if anyone else will get the same error (usually I update to beta for months and months and never had errors appear like this).

    Sorry for not going through the normal bug report route - I was trying to be super speedy thinking that it might be a "hotfix" moment.

    If there's nothing else you'd like me to try, I will clear my Chrome cache and try out the new beta :)

    EDIT: I took screenshot of the console (I have no addons in C3 at this point) between r278 and r276.2. Only slight difference, but just in case it's useful:

  • I will make a bug report, it's a bit worse than I thought!

    I literally wiped Chrome, just felt like it, so fresh Chrome - I installed my addons into C3, set my theme, opened my main project, and as soon as my project loaded, I got the same error BUT it appeared in a popup window, instead of weirdly placed at the top...

    ...so I refreshed, and the same error from my original post is back, with the error appearing along the top of C3. It's like my project corrupted C3 or something.

    I will make a bug report later, and I will try and reproduce it in a small project and everything. Interesting...

  • I'm having the same exact issue on startup. Everything worked fine last night, then I started it up this morning, got the r278 update update, then the error message at the top of the screen, same as Jase00.

  • I've found the problem! I'll post bug report soon -

    Saving as "Project folder" is broken in the latest beta.

    Go into C3, open Kiwi Story, save it as project folder, and upon completion, you get the same error as me (and it persists after refreshing C3).

    The really strange thing is, when I opened the new beta earlier today for the first time, I didn't even open my project yet, and the error appeared at the top of C3. Maybe C3 doesn't like the "Recent Items" history if it has a project folder? Who knows.

    Since it pops up, I can copy the whole error from triggering this in Kiwi Story:

  • Same here!

    It started after a crash opening a Local Project Folder, when I got this crash message:

  • I've found the problem! I'll post bug report soon -

    Saving as "Project folder" is broken in the latest beta.

    Go into C3, open Kiwi Story, save it as project folder, and upon completion, you get the same error as me (and it persists after refreshing C3).

    The really strange thing is, when I opened the new beta earlier today for the first time, I didn't even open my project yet, and the error appeared at the top of C3. Maybe C3 doesn't like the "Recent Items" history if it has a project folder? Who knows.

    Awesome — nice detective work!

  • Hmm... Yeah my current project is saved as a project folder, but I also got the error upon first starting C3 this morning. Maybe the problem is having my project folder in the "Recent Files" like you suggested. Also, Construct 3 and my project seem to work just fine using the web version of C3. The "app" version is what is giving me the problem, which is my preferred way to work in Construct.

  • OK, I can reproduce an issue saving a project folder. We'll probably issue a patch release for that tomorrow.

    In the mean time you can either roll back to r277, or clear recent projects in settings and use a different save option for the time being.

  • It's working great now. Thank you for your work, Ashley. I'm sure you don't hear it enough!
