Sometimes construct fails to open properly

ive had this bug ever since ive started using Construct, basically i open it (im using vista) and then i see everyting but i cant clikc on any of the buttons, nothing responds (but it doesnt say not responding) and i have to task manager out of it and try again up to 10 times before i can get it to open right. its very weird

At a guess I'd say it's the updater failing to connect/being blocked, which would freeze the UI.

In a future build this should be fixed (update check should time out very quickly if blocked).

If you open

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Scirra\Construct.ini

And change the line that reads

UpdateCheck=1

to

UpdateCheck=0

That will turn off auto update checking. If that fixes it, then we know its definitely the update checker

there is no construct.ini???? also i just figured out its because it deosnt load application data at startup, when ever it deosnt work.

Thats the path for XP... are you on Vista?

Thats the path for XP... are you on Vista?

yea i said that i think.

C:\Users[b]Name\AppData\Roaming\Scirra

That's the Vista folder (Name is your own) and you'll need to show hidden files/folders to see it.

wow seems to work now
