  • Interesting. I tried your recommendation, Kyatric, but alas no joy. It may work in Preview mode but it does not work on the main server. If I add the 3-second wait the bar remains empty for 3 seconds before moving to the Main view. Of course, you have no way of looking at it online since the server is used by the company I work for and they would be most put out if I started giving out login credentials to anyone.

    Also, is there any way (even if only in Preview mode) to make the default Construct 2 pre-loader appear? I'm still not having any luck with this either. The "Preloader" sheet was an add in an attempt to accomplish what the pre-packaged pre-loader should be doing for me.

  • Try Construct 3

  • I thought of that so I temporarily disabled the Event on the Preloader sheet that would transfer to the Main sheet so I could see my manually-added progress bar and that never loads beyond 0%. If it really loads so fast, the bar should be at 100% pretty much right away shouldn't it?

  • Before you ask, yes I am aware there are at least two tutorials about how to do this. What I'm trying to do should be very simple and yet following the instructions in those two tutorials has gotten me precisely nowhere. I must be doing something wrong and/or very stupid so I post to the forum for clarification.

    All I want is to have the default Construct 2 pre-loader display when I run my "game" the very first time. This sounds simple enough. I have tried every combination I could think of from the tutorials to makes this work. I've set "Use loader layout" to "Yes" and "Loader style" to "Progress bar & logo." No pre-loader displayed and it went straight to my "game." This was the result no matter my setting for "First layout." I could set it to "(default)" or the name of my "game" layout called "Main" or I could create a brand new layout specifically for this purpose called "Preloader" and set it to that. I've set "Use loader layout" to "No" and "Loader style" to "Progress bar & logo." Same result. I've tried all the possible different values for "Loader style" and nothing appears. It always goes straight to my "game."

    Any suggestions will be appreciated. I'm also going to attempt to upload a copy of the .capx file just in case any responder can find an obvious (or not-so-obvious) error in the .capx code itself.
