  • I have tried to run Construct 2 through Steam with multiple XPs and it doesn't work. Steam just says "Failed to start game (app already running).

    Today I just got Windows 8 installed on my Mac, which I bought only to use C2. Does it work? Nope! The exact same error message occurs, and I really doubt it has anything to do with my graphics driver which is fully updated.

    This is a major bummer, as I can't switch to Windows 7 now. The only OS C2 has worked with is W7 in my experience, which I borrow from a friend when it's available. The reason I bought W8 was to test out my games as W8 apps.

    I think that you should consider fixing this bug as it impacts a LOT of users. I posted this problem on the Steam page as well, and others have answered that they have the same problem and don't know of any solutions.

  • I tested it on a Virtual Machine today with XP on my Mac. The same thing happened, so I think it's actually a Construct 2 bug. I then borrowed a W7 laptop from a friend of mine and testet it, and there it worked just fine!

    Just wanted to let you know ;)

  • I see! Windows 7 it is then! ;)

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • I see, but what'd you recommend using, W8 or W7? I'm a Mac guy so I don't keep updated in the Windows world, but I've heard some bad rumors about W8.

    I really appreciate your help so far!

  • I get this message when I use Intel Detect:

    A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.

    I think it's time to run a virtual machine on my Mac. That should help with the graphics card related bugs, I assume?

    Thanks.

  • I'm not sure whether this is a Steam bug or a C2 bug, but I can't launch Construct 2 Personal on Steam with Windows XP Service Pack 3.

    I'm using a Windows XP fully updated and I've tried all of these steps:

    -Reinstalling Steam

    -Reinstalling Construct 2

    -Validated/verified the appcache

    -Restarted my computer

    -Fixed my registry

    -Disabled firewalls etc.

    All of these things with a lot of different combinations, but without success.

    I can see that Steam is about to open a new window, but it just flashes for a second and hides again. When I click on "Launch" multiple times, after a while, it says that Construct 2 is already active when it's not?

    Sometimes I also get an error message telling me that it failed to "start game with shared content, please update construct 2 free".

    Not sure if I posted this the correct place though, but any ideas? This is so annoying because there's nothing more I'd like to do right now than to play with C2!<img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    Thanks,

  • It works great on my XP for now, but I haven't tried making any hardcore, graphics intensive games yet, so I can see the issue it may cause on a 32-bit XP.

    Regarding Chrome, it works now! I don't know how it was fixed though.

  • Hey everyone! My name is Chris, and I mostly work with graphic design and websites currently, but I'm considering making games for full time. I'm really happy I found CC2, so I can start creating my ideas for real.

  • Thanks for the links! I don't know the excact type because it was my brother's PC, and I don't have it anymore, but it was from Intel.

    I have only been using the latest release of CC2.

    I'm currently working with an old HP PC with Windows XP installed, and it works much better on this one. The only problem now is that the preview (alt+4) doesn't work in Chrome (it just loads forever), but it works in Firefox though.

  • I have installed the latest graphics driver, and reinstalled CC2 without any luck, but I can see if there are any system driver updates. If not, then I suspect it's CC2.

  • I have the same problem.

  • Dear Construct team, here is a link to the file the bug started out with: dropbox.com/s/j3m2ra4zyw0zfic/PingPong.capx

    I added a subevent that tests if y is less or equal to ball's (obj) Y position. When I then clicked "Add action", Construct crashed, and when I tried other files etc. it happened as well. In short, the program freezes everytime I click "Add action" and "Add event", which makes it a serious bug.

    I use the latest Chrome webbrowser with Windows 7 64-bit (latest update) with a fully updated graphics driver as well. I have obviously tried to restart my laptop twice without any luck.

    It's quite random that it happened, because I have used Construct for some days without having problems with this.

    I'd however like to add that Construct has been crashing when pressing alt + 4 (browser preview) from the day i started (r114). This has however not been as bad, because I could just restart the program, and it only happened once in a while, but this happens no matter what.
