7 Errors is a game where you have to find the 7 mistakes before time runs out. Can you find all 7? Have fun looking.
  • Hi, I tried opening some of my old versions of my project in the latest release version of Construct 3 (Release r397 Stable). However, it doesn't seem to open. I keep getting the following error:

    "Failed to open project. Check it is a valid Construct 3 single-file (.c3p) project."

    When I investigated further, I saw other developers also faced a similar issue when a new version of Construct 3 is released. In those posts, they mentioned that we can get a better understanding of what went wrong by going to developer mode (pressing F12). The thing is, I'm not able to make any sense of it. Can someone help me understand how I can resolve this?

    Below is a screenshot of the error that I got. FYI, when I try to open those files in the old version of Construct 3 "Stable r388.2", they seem to open properly. It's only when I try to open the project in any higher version, it doesn't seem to open. Also, I use Google Drive to sync all my files. Thanks in advance.

  • Check if any object, file name, animation in the project begins with space. See this post:

  • Thank you for the update. The post mentioned that the root cause might be due to having blank space at the beginning of an object or an animation. My project is quite large, and based on my initial examination, I haven't been able to identify such issues. I think it might take me more time to examine this thoroughly. If I am unable to spot the issue, I will reach out to customer care. Thanks for the support.
