  • It shouldn't be, the C2 project importer is pretty well tested by now. You should be able to import and preview a C2 project with the free edition to see how it works. You should also switch the project to the C3 runtime if you can. If anything goes wrong let me know, I'd be happy to take a look and see if anything is preventing a successful import.

  • It's probably the layout-by-layout memory management. See this manual guide on memory usage for details. Basically it's loading all the images used on the next layout. Usually it's fast, but if you have loads of images and animation frames, it can be a lot of content.

    The system memory management actions provide more control over this, such as letting you pre-load the next layout. However you should use these with care, since you can end up with two entire layouts loaded in to memory at once, which may spike the memory usage high enough to crash some devices as they run out of memory. You can do other techniques like switching to a loading screen to preload the next layout to avoid this.

  • According to this Chrome issue, it is mainly due to Android devices not supporting low latency playback, or being misconfigured and the device indicating it does not support it when it can. It looks like a difficult issue to resolve, since it's hard to tell between a device that is misconfigured and says it doesn't support low latency audio when it really does, and a device that is correctly configured and truly doesn't support low latency audio.

    After 9 years, we're sunsetting Construct 2. It will be taken off sale in July 2020, and fully retired in July 2021.

    Note that this also means Construct 2 is now only being maintained with essential bug fixes and compatibility updates. Minor or non-essential reports will no longer be investigated. Only major issues causing a significant impact to the ability to use important features of Construct 2 will be supported at this time.

    We recommend upgrading to Construct 3 for continued active support and maintenance as well as loads more features and capabilities. For more information see the blog post Sunsetting Construct 2.

  • Put an empty event after it. That will run whenever the previous event finishes.

  • Can you actually measure any performance difference? These days with modern software everything should be running just fine as it is.

  • Google don't support speech synthesis in the WebView yet: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=487255

    Other than that it looks like it is supported on most other platforms.

  • Subscriptions are billed at the price you initially subscribed at - any price changes on the website won't affect how much you keep paying. If your next bill was going to be higher for any reason, we'd definitely let you know in advance.

  • The monthly subscription is an entirely new and more accessible plan for Construct 3, representing a much lower cost to get started. As with pretty much all subscription services, you get a discount for going with the annual option. I mean, we could have hiked the annual subscription price up a lot to make monthly 1/12th that value, but I don't think that would have been much more popular! 😉

    If you only use Construct for a couple of months, you save a lot of money. If you plan to use it long-term, you can pay for a year and save a lot in comparison to paying monthly. I don't see how this is a problem - how long do you plan on using Construct for?

  • It's not currently supported in the Text object. However you could use a SpriteFont and have a special character dedicated to an icon.

  • As described in the forum & community guidelines, please post bugs to the bug tracker following all the guidelines (we need all that information to be able to help). We also have a suggestions platform where users can vote on suggestions. In both cases these provide one place for us to deal with these, since things only mentioned in passing on the forum are easily lost. I'd also add we are a small company and we get far, far more suggestions than we could possibly implement, so I'm afraid I can't make any promises about suggestions. If it collects lots of votes on our suggestions platform and is quick to do, it's more likely we can address it.

  • Both binary and base64 uploads should work. Binary is actually more efficient so should be preferred.

    The original screenshot posts to a relative URL, so it won't work in preview mode (it will post to preview.construct.net/image-loader.php, which does not exist). After export it should work providing your PHP is correct.

    See also the details on preview mode and cross-domain use of AJAX in the manual.
