  Making everything else gamma-correct is actually complicated and potentially a lot of work. It was only done for Drawing Canvas because it was easier, since it has a dedicated "draw gradient" action that interally can use custom rendering.

  Use the 'Clear storage' action of the Local Storage object.

  If you don't get the same error, it's probably a completely different problem which would need to be tracked separately.

  Downloading is a browser feature and depends on the browser UI. Mobile apps don't run in browsers (there is no address bar etc). So the download feature isn't available in mobile apps.

  Gamma correct is actually the right way to do it, taking in to account the sRGB color space of common displays. However for legacy and performance reasons the rest of the runtime just does gamma-incorrect linear gradients. Properly-designed art software really ought to be using gamma-correct gradients. See this blog post about gamma for more background and theory.

  It's probably best to contact Facebook about this. I don't see that it's specific to Construct in any way.

  Note that Drawing Canvas gradients are gamma-correct, but sprite gradients are not. (In other words Drawing Canvas does gradients the right way, and sprite/everything else uses the wrong way.) So it is expected that if you compare Drawing Canvas to Sprite, you will see different results - the difference between gamma-correct and gamma-incorrect.

  Have you tried doing what it tells you to?

  Put an animated sprite the size of a tile over the tilemap.

  The CPU usage is a timer-based estimate. I do not believe it is sufficiently accurate to use it for such precise measurements as you are.

  dos88 - the browser version will soon be able to do almost everything the desktop download can. For example see this thread on using local file & folder saves in Chrome from the browser. The desktop download is just a wrapper for the browser version anyway, so is basically becoming redundant.

  Native engines are a whole other ballpark, but I blogged a few years ago about why they're no silver bullet.

  Obviously this is unintended, should never happen, and something we'd want to fix ASAP. However bugs happen, and unfortunately there is very little to go on in this post. Please do file a bug report and follow all the guidelines as best you can - they are there to make sure we can actually investigate and help you.

  It sounds like a bug. Obviously this is unintended and something that could corrupt a project is a high priority issue that is important to fix ASAP. However I'm afraid so far there is very little we have to go on so there's not much we could do to investigate. Please do file a bug and try to follow all the guidelines if you can - they're there to make sure we can investigate.
