bumping as this is still an issue in Construct 2 and also in Construct 3

Problem Description

Construct 2 will not show test ads or live after exporting a UWP app and running in Visual Studio 2015. The adds will only show if you are on r227 or lower. You can choose any size ad or ad location and same results no ads show unless you are using r227 or lower. I randomly checked r233, r239, r244 and r246 with same results no ads are displayed when testing in Visual Studio.

Attach a Capx

Description of Capx

This capx works correctly its to use an an example

r227test - Used a standard template within Construct 2 with no 3rd party adds

r227test - Added "On start of layout>Show banner ad

r227test - Added test ad units per Microsoft's documentation for UWP banner ads https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... ode-values

This capx does NOT work correctly

r246test - Used a standard template within Construct 2 with no 3rd party adds

r246test - Added "On start of layout>Show banner ad

r246test - Added test ad units per Microsoft's documentation for UWP banner ads https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... ode-values

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Open up r246test.sln from within the VS solution tab under r246test from OneDrive link above
• Under references add Microsoft Advertising SDK for JavaScript
• Change debug to release and change any cpu to x64
• Select Local Machine and click the green arrow to run

Now open up r227test and follow the same steps and will see ads appear on the left side

____ What do you expect to happen? ____

ads should show on the left side center 100x600

Affected Browsers

• Chrome: (NO)
• FireFox: (NO)
• Internet Explorer: (NO)

Operating System and Service Pack

____ Your operating system and service pack ____

Windows 10 Pro

Version 1703

OS build 15063.540

Construct 2 Version ID

The problem is after r227 any version of Construct 2 after that no test ads display or live ads when using Visual Studio for UWP apps. Workaround is to install r227 or below and ads will show in Visual Studio when testing.

This issue is even worse in Construct 3 I opened a bug for Construct 3 here https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/720

Bl4cksh33p,

After looking at your deeplink you're only supporting x86 and notice how it only says PC and not mobile under your screenshots? Makes sure in VS your selecting ARM as well when creating the package. Also check Pricing and availability>Windows 10 device families>check Mobile if its not already checked. If its not you will need to submit a new meta data update.

Hi all,

Check out Poccer on the Windows Store its a cross between Pong and soccer. Any feedback welcome

Hi Blackhornet,

When I moved my events out of level 1 after i reach a score of 200 it looks like it goes to the next level but the player doesnt move and nothing else happens

Hi all,

I have a bit of an issue. I'm trying to set up level selection with unlocks. I got the images to appear correct but after I complete level 1 it just loops back to level 1 instead of going to the next level to unlock. I have my variables set up basically if score = 200 go to next level. then if score = 400 go to next level etc... If any one can help point what I'm missing I would be a very happy person!!

Capx for reference

Hi Dj and Ram

I did try the Z order method but the issue i run into the lava stays the same width, so if the blocks are randomly generated sometimes I'm running in the lava. Have included my CAPX so you can see exactly whats going on and if you have any ideas let me know.

CAPX

lets say lava or spikes in the runner Capx that comes with Construct2. I see there are random blocks spawning but when I try to add lava or spikes they always appear behind the player. I'm not sure the best way to approach this. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
