  • Hi,

    could somebody please explain to me how the preview mode via Node Webkit differs from the exported project?

    I dont get any touch events in the preview mode on Win 8.1. If I export the project everything works just fine.

    Thank you

  • Had the same problem on my surface pro 3. No solution with touch input. But Iam able to bring up the right-click-menu with the pen.

    It does NOT work if you just tap and hold or simple select the object and press the second pen button for right click.

    It DOES work if you:

    1. Press the right-click-button on the pen AND hold it.

    2. Hover over the screen !Not! only the object you like to right click.

    3. Select the object you like to right click with the pen.

    4. Press Object with pen.

    5. Release right-click-button on the pen.

    6. Move-up pen

    7. Voila your menu.

    Yeah, you really have to get used to this. Don’t be to fast between step 4 and 5.

    Changing resolutions, deactivating scaling on high DPI and changing display scaling had no effect.

    I guess the problem lies somewhere between the display scaling and Step 2. If you ignore this step you will bring up the rename action.

  • Heyho,

    found my solution for this freezing behaviour. It`s a driver problem not a C2 Problem. The last release of my Samsung AMD Dynamic Switchable Graphics Technology - Driver, was more then 2 years ago. Samsung just stopped the support for my Notebook. (Serie 7 Chronos)

    The solution was the Leshcat driver: Lag and freez are gone. Iam still having this black screen effect for a second after returning to the minimized editor but that`s just gone in a blink of an eye.

    But... the new driver seams to conflict with some Applications. It`s a confirmed problem with the ATI-Driver.

    So to quote Ashley:

    [quote:1rjz91b8]

    "Sometimes old hardware is no longer supported with new drivers. So they have ditched you with broken drivers and no solution. If this happens to you, don't buy from them again."

    "Graphics card makers should make reliability a priority. If you are a customer looking for a new computer or graphics card, ask about or research the reliability. Nobody sells graphics cards based on reliability yet, but it's an incredibly important point, so seek out the most reliable models and vote with your wallet."

    I will not buy anything from Samsung or AMD again...

    I will not buy anything from Samsung or AMD again...

  • Sry, I have to bump this.

    Iam having exactly the same problem. Using Steam C2 Personal, R173. On two different machines.

    First: Win 7 64bit

    Second: Win Vista 32Bit

    C2 is slowing down until it gets temporarily stuck. I have to minimize C2 via task bar, maximize, minimize and so on, until C2 finally reaches its normal state. Sometimes, while using the Image Editor, it is not possible to restore C2s normal state. Forcing me to close the Application and lose every progress I have done so far.

    Maybe it`s just subjective, but I think running Steam in offline mode reduces this "stuck" time to a minimum. Also I disabled the "cache icons in editor for better performance" option in combination with Steam in offline mode. Disabling this option while running Steam in online mode did reduce the hang time in my opinion. But again, this is just a subjective feeling. Those hangs could take around 2-4 seconds or 3-5 minutes until I can restore the application via minimize and maximize.

    Those hangs are just affecting the C2 Application. RAM and CPU performace is quite normal.

    Iam using C2 since around a year and Iam not able to tell exactly when this happend the first time. I did some small applications before. Data Visualization and small usability tests for academic studies with a maximum of 100 events with no problems. My current game project has around 690 events and in comparison to these other projects a lot of different graphics. And Iam having the feeling it does get worse while the project is growing.

    While having a complete freez the task manager is showing 4 other C2 Applications in the Application Tab but just one C2 process in the process tab.

    Also Iam getting a error dialog, saying something like "a required resource..." but nothing like "could not be found". It seems like there is missing another line in this dialog window.

    Another thing, it`s not possible to start C2 via short cut or *.exe while Steam is in offline mode. Steam will tell you it`s not possible to run this game in offline mode. You have to start C2 via Steam.

  • Workaround...

    Black screen in Preview Mode does only happen to me on NW Version 0.9.2. I replaced the files in <install path>\exporters\html5\node-webkit\win32 by the files of version v0.10.0-rc1 and deleted the "incudt.dll" cause it has been replaced in this version. Preview and Debug are both working this way.

    Repository: "https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit"

    BUT, there is still a problem with export. v0.10.0-rc1 does remove the "incudt.dll" but is also adding "incudtl.dat" instead. The C2 exporter does not export this file so I have to add the "incudtl.dat" manualy to the export folder to make my application work.

  • Problem Description

    Heyla,

    iam getting a black screen on every project when iam using Node-Webkit as preview browser via "run layout" or "debug layout". Node Webkit ist running fine, no crash or anything else. The screen just stays black. This does happen to any kind of project even in C2 templates and examples. Exporting the project does work fine, no black screen. Cause of this I expect a kind of permission problem. I checked all writing and reading permissions for the C2 folder, started C2 as admin, no result. Any idea how to fix this?

    "https://www.scirra.com/manual/162/node-webkit" does tell me the "preview folder" is <install path>\exporters\html5\node-webkit\win32. So I checked the folder for any changes or a package.nw while the preview is running. No changes occur.

    [Edit] Would be thankfull if somebody could please confirm or refuse this behaviour on his own machine.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • problem does occur for me at every project, every single time using "run" or "debug"
    • does only happen via Node-Webkit, no other browser affected
    • [EDIT] this also occurs when using NodeWebkit.ShowDevTools, the console window is also displayed black, also only in preview mode. For exported projects the console is working fine
    • [EDIT] background music is woking fine even in preview mode. So it should be a kind of rendering problem?
