  • Crash might not be the correct word.

    Its bizarre. I know for a fact that the issue didn't happen on any of the versions of Firefox 35. Before posting the bug, we recreated the issue on a desktop PC (with a graphics card to check integrated graphics). Before upgrading, the game ran fine. After upgrading we started getting the memory peaks.

  • Problem Description

    There is a memory problem in Firefox 36 that causes the applications to crash/freeze. I understand that this may not be a Construct 2 bug per se, but Construct 2 is unusable on the current Firefox version. Report is from a non-programmer.

    Demo Apps that CrashSteps to Reproduce Bug

    • Update Firefox to 36.0
    • Load a game in firefox (see above)
    • Interact with the game, the quick you interact the quicker you will run into memory problems

    Observed Result

    Memory spikes up and down and ultimately reaches a point where the application is unusable. For me that is around 3,000,000 K.

    Expected Result

    Not the above.

    Affected Browsers

    • Chrome: (NO)
    • FireFox: (YES)
    • Internet Explorer: (NO)

    Operating System and Service Pack

    Windows 7 64 bit

    Service Pack 1

    Construct 2 Version ID

    I have integrated graphics, but I have been able to recreate on a desktop computer. Keep task manager open on the processes tab while you interact with the games above. Watch the Firefox process.
