    "I will play around this weekend if I have time and see what I can find."

    If you find something please post it! I keep trying to find a way but I can't. I couldn't even make it work by opening my game with the older Construct2 and then in VS2013 for windows 8.1, seems that once the game is made in the new Construct2 it just wont work, possibly when made in a Windows 8.1 OS (is your OS also 8.1?)

    I know there's more people having this problem too, would be nice to know if there's anybody having this problem using OS windows 10?

  • I created a game using Construct2 r212 and I need to open it using Construct2 r206, but it doesn't allow me saying it was made with a newer version.

    Does anybody know how can I do this?

    Thank you

  • JLH1964 did you find a way around this, by any chance?

  • I guess it can be because of the Windows 8.1 OS yes. So I tried the following:

    1- I exported this game (lets call it game1) for Windows 8.1 Universal in Construct2 r212, and then I opened it with my VS Community 2013: Then the package.appxmanifest wont open and in this case it gives me an error that says : "Unable to load manifest designer"

    2- So I tried downgrading Construct 2 to an older version (r206): I couldn't open my game1 in this older version because it was created with a newer version of Construct2.

    3-Then I tried an older game I have=game2, exporting it with Construct2 r206 for Windows 8.1, I opened it with the same VS Community 2013, and the package.appxmanifest opens perfectly well.

    4- I upgraded my Construct2 again, to version 212.2, then I again exported old game2, and again in this case the package.appxmanifest opens without problems.

    So (correct me if I'm wrong) it seems to be that for whatever reason there is an incompatibility between games created with Construct r212 and both VS 2013 and VS 2015

  • zenox98,

    [quote:2ulg3ovk]"... and yet you are more than happy to continue to flout the bug reporting guidelines, thus wasting Ashley's valuable time? Is your time more valuable than his?"

    I don't think I'm wasting nobody's time because I paid for this product, 329 euros. For a working product. I need to use my time to pay for it by doing my own work, while the people who created the product use their time working on the product.

    And even if I hadn't paid for it, I don't see how closing a report and making people doing it all over again from scratch helps anybody better than allowing people editing it.

    [quote:2ulg3ovk]"Far too many pointless bug reports are posted and Ashley is only one man. How do you think he feels when users continually flout the guidelines? Frustation probably isn't a strong enough term.

    If everyone followed the guidelines straight from the off, then the whole system would work more efficiently.

    I understand, and I'm sorry for him, but when you do charge for a product then you have to give the client the product. Is not my fault if they sell me a product and then doesn't work. I have my own frustrations with my own work which I have to do myself as well.

    And the amount of rules and indications to post a bug here is kind of too much and too strict.

  • Ashley, I can understand that and I'm willing to collaborate, but it has a little bit too many rules and I can not understand why it needs to be closed and make people do it from scratch all over again instead of allowing editing it, feels very disrespectful and causes people to spend unnecessary time on it.

  • Ok, here I created it again:

  • Again, for the second time, my bug report closed without answer because I'm missing some piece of information I didn't realize, instead of letting me edit it.

    Ashley, I payed 329 euros for this, and I get my questions dismissed without help time after time. I go try the third time then, because I have no other option. Is not fun this, I don't have time to be writing from zero one same thing again and again because you decide to just closed it and therefore I'm not allowed to edit it instead of doing it from scratch all over again.

  • here is where I created the bug report

  • ok I created a bug report again. I can not find how to attach a file in it in order to attach the capx. you need. Please don't go close it again and make me start again from zero because I couldn't attach it! If you just let me know how to attach it I will
