  • Hey, I wonder if you have any success with this issue?

    I have the exact same problem. My only progress concerning it is that I actually sent my large project to Scirra - and the most mind boggling thing of all is that they could not reproduce it. They say they open my project 10 out of 10 times - while I can open it maybe 1 out of 10 times.

  • I have a project with over 20k images, and while it loads fine as a single project file (c3p), it won't always load as a folder project, more like it will load one out of 10 times.

    Because the project is projected to have more than 65k files (units have lots of different animations with a modest amount of frames - the minimal I could do without the animations looking choppy) - single file projects break above 65k - I think its a ZIP file limitation around 65535 files.

    A folder project doesn't have this issue, but I can't open it always, it just hangs on me/.... the loading goes on forever, no error in the debbuger, stops using CPU altoghether.

    Now, I have sent this project to Ashley and the most intresting thing about it is that he says the project loads 10 out of 10 times. I personally have tested the project on around 10 different PCs - all windows 10 64bit with plenty of RAM, different browsers, no antivirus... always get the same result - sometimes loads, sometimes hangs up...infinite load bar.

    I;ve been tackling this for over an year, but with the limit of 65k images looming I'm becoming nervous. ANY ideas on how to locate the issue will be priceless for me. Thanks!

  • My mistake, I get the ready to work offline notification. I installed a fresh copy. cleared all cache from appdata and construct won't load, just some idle processes appear in the task manager.

  • Come to think of it, I haven't seen the Ready To Work Offline notification recently. I can't really submit an issue and give you steps to reproduce - because its start offline and that's it. I'm asking if anything comes to mind that may be the issue. For example, I hadn't thought of clearing my browser cache. Did so to no avail. But anything from the sort will be very helpful. This being said I have a bunch of issues that seem unique to me, as we've had back and forths on several of them - the last is that despite having the Stable release setting selected, my offline version updates to the latest beta none the less. Now, because there is no way of you reproducing this, I don't expect an easy solution - but if anything regarding... folder location, admin rights, geographical location and web services, etc...comes to mind, please share. Thanks.

  • It had never occured to me, but when I had issues with my internet the other day, i learnt that I can't run preview on my projects. I'm using the offline version, lates with latest sdk nw.js. I'm certain that I've read that I can use construct offline if needed - just need to log in every now and then.

    What am I missing?

  • It's why I'm writting here. Stable is selected, plain as day, in settings. I checked the moment I got notified that I had updated to 226.

  • Why does Construct automatically update to Beta (most recently with 226) despite having selected to only be notified about stable versions in the settings. And furthermore, why after every update recently do I have to change my password, because my old one is no longer recognized?

  • Hey, it worked!

    Thanks a million, cheers.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • The title is not ENTIRELY true. I CAN log in on my laptop, can't log in my desktop. Tried it with another user (of a friend) and I logged in fine.

    What happens is that, when I enter my user and pass construct just crashes and closes. Tried it with another user, no problem. This is before attempting to open any prjoect.

    Anyone? What should I do to bring more attention to this issue?

    No, just in this topic and another one I created. I didn't report it as I can't reproduce the issue in a clean small project, and as far as I recall they will not accept large projects in bug reports. So, as I see it, I have no other option than to ring the bell in this forum concerning this issue in particular.

  • I have yes, and it works fine as a single file. However, for various reasons I prefer the folder format (save, load speed and more importantly - version control). Hitting F12 shows no errors.

  • Ok, so I tried deleting most of the objects in the game...around 100, adding up to some 3000 + seperate images, and the projects opens like a charm. This was not an issue in earlier versions for sure, as (out of fear of some such future problems) I've stress tested the project and it works perfectly with many more objects and images close to 20 000. Are there any new limitations for some reason?

    I recieve the exact same error in the browser version and the exact same longer Save period, the only difference is that I can't open the project at all from the nw.js version. I though the longer save period and the error happening were "normal" for the browser version, as up until now I've always used the desktop one and only because I can't load my folder project did I move to the browser one - where, incidentaly, I can't load my project on every attempt (1 of 5 ~).

    I just tried severely trimming down my project, removed some 3000 + images (frames) worth of objects and the issues seem to have dissapeared. So project size is obviously related.

  • Hi, ever since last week I'm fighting with restoring the smoothness of my work, so far to mixed results.

    Ever since the 210, I can't use the desktop build to open my project as a Folder Based project - I updated to last NW.JS, there is no error - the projects loads for a few seconds (Judging by CPU usage in the task manager) then just does nothing...CPU usage falls to 1% and the project never opens. If I open it as a single file, however, the project opens.

    Now, since then I decided to move to the web version (where I'm suffering a lot - its slower, it doesn't save everytime, saves longer and most importantly - I can't use external editor shortcut in the image editor which I use alot) There the project opens 1 out of 5 times... The other 4 attempts to open it, it freezes like the desktop version, but every so often the project loads.

    NOTE: I've tried this on another PC to the same results. Clean isntall and all.

    Now, I've been working this week at full speed, trying to convince myself that this is the new normal and its OK...but its not, and who knows what next releases will change and I risk of losing 4 years worth of heavy work. Can someone please give my issue some thought. ANY help is GREATLY appreciated.

    Thanks
