  I'm sure it works - several official features use it. E.g. try setting the text object's font size to -1 and it clamps it to 0.1. I can't tell why it's not working for you, I guess I'd need to see real running code.

  Have you tried using runtime.storage?

  Did you check the console? That will be crashing because the method does not exist there. It's on IObjectInstance, which you normally access from your IInstanceBase-derived instance class with this._inst.

  Update 23rd October: since this is now available in both the stable versions of Construct 3 and Chrome (since v78 is now out), all you need to do to enable the feature now is tick "Enable experimental features" in Settings. Hopefully this makes it easier to test. I've updated the original post to reflect this.

  Once again, it's difficult to make progress if people don't mention which version they are using. The latest version is r274. Did you test that version? Is it still occurring there or is it fixed?

  The built-in savegame feature does not cover any of your own JavaScript variables. You'll need to save them separately.

  Just call SetPropertyValue inside that method if the value is invalid.

  Yes, it looks like a bug and in general we need all the information requested by the bug report guidelines to be able to help. If we only have screenshots then we have to rely on what I call "telepathic debugging", which is notoriously unreliable.

  The bug report guidelines include tips on how to reduce a large project to something you can file.

  It looks like a crash involving the "use render cells" layer option. That's all I can tell from the information so far. There's usually no reason to use that setting unless you have huge layouts with thousands of static objects. If you turned it on for no reason, you could just turn it off (and note in general it's unwise to change any settings you don't need or understand). The bug won't be fixed though and could come up again. If you really have such a large layout that needs the setting, there is nothing more I could do to help without all the information covered in the bug report guidelines.

  It's difficult to help without more information, and the error report looks like it's from a minified export so any useful information has been obscured.

  It might be a bug in Construct. I'd suggest filing a bug report following all the guidelines - note we need all the information requested by the guidelines to be able to help.

  I just published a r274 update which updates jQuery to v3.4.1.

  If you save to cloud or export a mobile app, the speed it goes at is likely mainly determined by your connection speed.

  You can always use local saves or local app builds if you need it to be faster.
