  • Well, 1/8th is 12.5% which is 13% when rounded. So one core is being maxed out. Pat finding uses web-workers so do a lot of pathfinding to Engadge the other cores.

    To only use 1-core today is terrible, that means for a 4-core mobile device u can only use 25% of it's CPU Power. Mobile devices don't have much CPU power to start with so to be limited like this is insane.

    Let's look to the future, we'll see mobile devices with 8-cores and 12-cores, which have already been reported in the tech news, yet the GHZ per core is not really increasing becos of heat and power usage limitations, so that means for the next 5-years our Construct 2 games cannot be any more complex than they are now, they cannot be any better becos we are currently limited to 1-core processing - PATHETIC!

    All the competitors will roll over Scirra if they do not fix this! I play a Unity 3D Game on my PC and it's using all 8-cores of my CPU.

  • In C2 debug mode it says 100% even 114% CPU Usage, meanwhile in Task Manager it only says 13% CPU Usage.

    I have an 8-core Intel i7, this is pathetic that i can't use all the CPU available.

  • Sorry for making a duplicate topic about this, didn't know the guys were on holiday - i thought they were buddhists! hehe ;p

  • I second this, at the moment we really need to be stingy on how many animated textures we can have before gameplay stutters like a retard with parkinsons.

  • Talk about SPAM, either their email marketing system has gone BESERKERS! Or they just don't know about good email marketing practices, i think one email per week would be tolerable.. but not 20-emails in 2-days!

  • I've received like 20+ emails in the last 2-days or so about the Scirra Bundles SALE!!!???!!!??

    Can we stop with the damn scirra SPAM machine already, enough emails about this one thing!

  • Shinkan, i'm with you on this, we need more control over video memory and an unload sprite action.

    I stopped coding with Construct 2 becos of this issue and the stuttering performance I got on both a high-end PC and Mobile.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • tumira i'm well aware of downgrading, but that doesn't solve the problem in the long term or explain why it happens.

    I wonder which path does Construct 2 look to find java?

    P.S. For now I went back to Java 7 update 55 (64-bit) and minify script works fine, but this issue is still not resolved as should work with latest Java as we need to be up to date.

  • java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml

    Note the part about suggesting you use 32 bit.

    No proof positive, but I uninstalled the 64 bit, and reinstalled the 32, and its now working.

    newt I tried this and doesn't work, you must be using the 32-bit version of C2 and not the 64-bit version like I am using.

  • I also updated to Java 8 update 25 with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and 'minify script' has stopped working with the error message: "Unable to run the script modifier. Please ensure you have Java installed..."

    Please help me Obiwan kenobi!!!

  • Yann your Polytrail.capx gave me an error at one point, it said it went beyond the maximum texture size of 2048x2048px.

    Really i think drawing polygons should be a basic thing built in every game engine, it's quite pathetic it's not built into Construct 2.

    And this plugin is not drawing real polygons, it's using large textures to draw on with Canvas, I mean come on Scirra is it too much to ask to draw real polygons like the ones in Quake 15-years ago????

  • there is already a 3D plugin for C2, with a very impressive little 3D tank game, looks pretty good and has some advanced shaders.

  • rfisher, is there a way to make this plugin use a random seed so that it will recreate the same levels everytime??

    As it is now it will keep generating random levels so for example level 16 will be different on a different day and a player cannot try to tackle the same level again, instead he gets a new random level.

  • Very cool, thank you

  • Well I can't install stupid Intel XDK on my brand new Windows 7 64-bit SP1 PC.

    I double click on the EXE and i see the splash screen for 2-seconds and then nothing happens, it doesn't install.

    If only C2 didn't defecate on CocoonJS then I would have a 2nd option!!
