  • Feel free to close the bug or mars1985 if you wouldn't mind attaching a capx.

    Half way through professional development of my game I've had to switch to Unity because of this and other issues.

    This has caused me major stress and financial set back and I find the developers response to the issue and general view towards its customers unacceptable. I have essentially purchased software which is not fit for purpose, it's the developers attitude to such problems why the engine will never be considered a serious option for professional developers.

    For what it's worth my initial tests integrating an external JS audio framework was working fine.

  • Playing audio through vanilla javascript works fine which makes me question whether this is an iOS bug.

    i.e. (in Construct 2) execute javascript action "new Audio('<sound>.m4a').play()"

  • Updating my ios8 devices to ios9 confirms distorted audio is replaced with no audio running the same test case.

    Also audio never came back for me.

  • Unresumed music position would be a small trade off for being able to get our games on store.

    I must have downloaded hundreds of games and never seen an issue like this. Do you have some examples Newt I can investigate and I'll log a dev bug with Apple.

    With C2 I've a feeling iOS 8 might be more prone to distortion and iOS9 missing audio.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Its not just switching apps (although that is best repro) there just has to be an app in the background, which I daresay everyone will have, that is not acceptable.

    Furthermore switching to safari playing a non-C2 website works fine.

    I welcome people to try genuine repro's but lets not add noise to the bug report!

  • Added a video to the same dropbox folder using my capx and the free game above

  • I've been downloading random games and found a few other examples that will provoke it, notably of the free variety:

    Disassembly 3D: Ultimate Stereoscopic Destruction

    https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/disasse ... 04666?mt=8

    I've no idea what it is either... luckily all you have to do is boot into the first screen (wait for the music) then open safari with my app preview.

    I think It's important safari isn't already running.

    Could you try this please newt ?

    Problem Description

    Often audio can be heard to be distorted when running a game with an app in the background suspended/minimised that has previously used sound. On occasions there will be no sound or selective sound.

    Other non-Construct 2 apps/websites on the same device do not exhibit the same issue.

    Other Construct 2 members have mentioned this in the forums.

    Attach a Capx

    Description of Capx

    Plays a sound effect on button press

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • Preview the app on an iOS device using safari (iPad 4 and iPhone 4s confirmed), play the sound so you know what a non-corrupted file sounds like.
    • Close safari
    • For the most consistent reproduce I recommend downloading one of the following , load to first screen.
      • Hitman Go
      • Prune
      • Disassembly 3D: Ultimate Stereoscopic Destruction <= Free
      (You could try your luck at other games or youtube, I have seen this occur but it is very random).
    • Load the preview address back on safari, play the sound, notice it is distorted or missing.

    Observed Result

    The sound is now distorted/corrupted or not present.

    Both app preview and releasable packages.

    Expected Result

    The sound is not distorted.

    Affected Browsers

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

    Operating System and Service Pack

    iOS 8 & 9

    Construct 2 Version ID

    r216 (has been present from at least r212)

    Please, I have spent what to me is a lot of money on C2 and a year of hard work, this game is currently un-releasable.

    To that end if there is anything I can do to help please let me know!

  • Ashley I followed the guidelines save missing off the C2 revision (sorry). I don't think closing this was constructive.

    The only way to 100% reproduce this is with Hitman and a packaged game though it happens frequently and randomly otherwise. A capx is useless.

  • Worth mentioning loading any other non C2 app in the same situatio works fine

  • Finally pinned a reproduce on an audio corruption bug which occurs when you run, I suspect, any iOS construct 2 game with another audio heavy app (suspended) in the background, e.g. a game or YouTube.

    On loading in to game all audio is corrupted, this happens frequently and I believe a show stopper for releasing any iOS game.

    Easiest reproduce for iPad 4 (iOS 8)

    Purchase Hitman Go and robothousegames A skyrocket story (looking forward to trying this)

    Load Hitman to menu, return to apps list load skyrocket to first audio scene. All audio is corrupted (happens to my game too which has minimal audio).

    I have seen this happen (rarely) on app preview also so it isn't an export bug.

    Not experienced on PC or android.

    Thanks.

  • Sethmaster Sure you don't have to register a company but then you will be trading under your own name which has no anonymity.

  • Nice work NotionGames

  • In the UK at least this is not possible because a companies director and stake holders are publicly available information, including address...

    This is my understanding anyway.

  • I've just had the audio corruption presented exactly the same as before using C2 preview so it is not an export bug.

    I could repeat it with every preview at the time, closing all the apps in the background fixed the issue, this included rayman run - an obviously audio heavy game.
