  • In case anyone else has this issue, I may have found a solution. So far it hasn't crashed yet after doing this.

    I went to chrome://flags "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" and set it to OpenGL. I have an NVIDIA graphics card, and it says "Using the OpenGL driver as the graphics backend may result in higher performance in some graphics-heavy applications, particularly on NVIDIA GPUs." Anyway, so far so good!

  • perhaps the browsers you use are not using the dedicated GPU

    Hadn't considered that! This might be the issue. I went into Graphics performance preference and enabled High Performance for Chrome and Vivaldi. I also went into Nvidia settings and switched OpenGL to use the Nvidia card for both. Hoping that will help, we'll see. Thanks so much!

  • > it simply produces a black screen and the layout goes blank with a little broken image icon.

    That sounds like a graphics driver crash that takes out the WebGL canvas. There might be more details if you press F12 and check the browser console.

    I'd guess either you're using too much memory and it's overloading the graphics hardware, or the graphics driver is crashing. If it's a graphics driver crash that is unfortunately difficult to deal with; your best bet is to install any available system software updates and hope that a fix comes through.

    OK thanks for the insight!

  • Is the editor itself crashing for you, or just the preview? Since 308 I've had a lot of editor crashes, seemingly at random.

    The stage layout editor goes blank and shows a little broken image icon, but the event editor still works I think

  • Hey Joe,

    One thing I've found with preview builds is they don't work a lot of time for me if they're in fullscreen mode. For whatever reason, I find that the previews run more consistently when windowed.

    Not sure if that's what you're dealing with, but thought I'd throw it out there.

    Hey Luke, thanks! Unfortunately, it seems to happen whether windowed or fullscreen

  • I've been running Construct on the NW.js to build my game for a long time now, and unfortunately switching back to the browser is causing preview builds to crash 2/3 of the time. There's no crash log or anything, it simply produces a black screen and the layout goes blank with a little broken image icon. I've tried different browsers. Vivaldi seems to be the most stable so far, but it still crashes very frequently. I know my game is very image intensive, but it was working fine with the NW.js editor. It seems to happen randomly, and it's really slowing down my productivity.

    Any ideas to prevent this? Thanks!

  • Oh, OK, will do. Thanks!

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • I've been using a simple overlay effect to create a film grain look, and now when I open my project the effect causes the entire scene to be flipped 90 degrees, stretched, and distorted. Turning the effect off removes the distorted effect, and other blend effects seem to cause similar flipping and distortion. I'm not sure what changed, but opening previous versions of both my project and previous Construct releases doesn't help. Any ideas?

  • Hey everyone! I released a pre-alpha demo this week on Steam as part of the Game Awards Festival.

    It'll only be up for a limited time, so check it out now if you're interested!

    Here's a quick video of gameplay with some behind-the-scenes on how I made the animations:

    Congratulations on your successful campaign!!!!!!!!!!

    This is my dream but now I can not find a way to put my game to Kickstarter since I am not in the support countries:(

    Guinea Pig Parkour is great anyway :)))

    Thanks so much!!

  • were you using construct 3 to make this?

    Yeah!

  • Thanks guys, I really appreciate the support!!

  • I have been following #indiegame on instragram for a while now and kept seeing posts about a Guinea Pig game. Now I see it is made with Construct and it looks professionally made! Nice work with everything so far. I like the art style and can't even begin to comprehend how long the animations took. They really do look fluid.

    Oh, cool! Yeah I had the hardest time figuring out Instagram and then started using the right hashtags and my posts seem to be doing well there now! Thanks so much!

  • Hey guys! I am working on a completely hand-drawn game in Construct 3 called "Guinea Pig Parkour," and I just launched a Kickstarter for it! Here's the trailer:
