  • FIXED:

    My browser's Hardware Acceleration was disabled. If you're experiencing this problem, check this article and Ctrl+F "No hardware acceleration", or just check your browser's settings. https://www.construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/tips-and-guides/performance-tips

  • Trying to figure this out. My current project is a pixel game at a window size of 480x270. Whenever I preview the game in its standard resolution- its fine, and behaves normally.

    Whenever I try to fullscreen the game however, it slows to a crawl.

    I noticed that this even extends to the default example C3 projects, as well as games in the scirra arcade.

    I've tried all three preview modes in the settings (Popup, Browser, Dialog). All three previews still have this issue.

    My machine is a VR-capable rig so I don't think it's a hardware issue. This problem doesn't exist on my C2 projects.

  • Just popping in to say that this solved my performance issues in the browser. While I think the browser integration is fantastic, and certainly has its place- a pure-browser stance isn't what I prefer.

    I don't know what the community consensus is, just contributing my two cents.

  • I haven't had any problems running it in the browser on various devices, including my phone and a 10 year old potato. Do you use any extensions/plugins?

    You can try the desktop exe version... which is running in a browser wrapper. But at least it (should be) a clean browser wrapper. construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/general-discussion-7/construct-nw-js-desktop-app-131317

    Only an anti-adware/malware & a darkmode extension (which I disabled)(Also; Chrome).

    This solution seems to work great though! Exactly what I was looking for. Do you know if this method prompts for version updates or will I have to manually check & do that?

  • I want to jump ship from C2 to C3 but the only thing holding me back is the performance issues from having the application be browser-based.

    Interacting with the Layout has this weird, sluggish performance latency. I doubt its my machine since its a VR-capable rig.

    I know there's a way you can pop C3 out of your browser but its effectively still a browser window and the problems persist.

    Is this truly just how C3 is, and there's no changing that? Browser integration is a fantastic feature and I do applaud it, but the drawbacks of this system far outweigh the benefits if there truly isn't a standard .exe application. I mean there's a ton of reasons why we don't run all of our apps through our browsers.

  • I know what Global/Local variables, groups, and includes all generally do.

    However, could someone accurately summarize how the relationship between them is modified?

    For example; When and Why should I use a Local variable in a group in place of a global one? What things and differences can modify and pull from Local and Global variables respectively?

    Also, how do Includes modify potential changing of Global & Local variables if at all?

  • Here's the situation:

    I have two text box objects. One called "Input", and one called "Output". I want the "Output" text to be the "Input" text, except I want it to insert "&newline&" after a variable amount of characters. Let's say 44 for example.

    So while the input box would read: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.", the Output box would read: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."&newline&" The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

    This is ideally to be a tool to assist a dialogue system that I am working on. I feel like it can be done, but I'm just not familiar with that level of functionality. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Thank you.

  • Hey, while on topic:

    Do Scirra Store assets and templates work with C3? Or do they currently only work with C2?

  • Trying to using my existing Scirra account information and it says that I have an incorrect password after repeated attempts.

    I manually logged into the Scirra website using the same information as confirmation that it is correct on my end.

    Anyone else having similar log-in issues?

  • Holy shit your isometric Z-Ordering is on point!

    Freaking out because I wanted to do something like this. Not an intuitive and highly accessible co-op puzzle platformer mind you, but a pixel-art based multiplayer game in the isometric perspective nonetheless.

    If it isn't too much to ask, could I trouble you for a short conversation on how you learned to do that? Making the z-ordering so good I mean. I've exhausted my research on the topic and have pretty much given up hope.

    I will not purchase C3 while it is on a Subscription-only model.
