Sorry, I wrote "HP" but in facts I meant "Intel"! Anyway, no newer drivers.

Time to replace that PC...

R0J0hound thank you for the suggestions.

No doubts the problem is in the graphic drivers, and I for sure don't blame Scirra.

Yet I tremble thinking to comments like "that lousy game crashes as soon as I launch it", no matter how hard you explain that the problem is NOT the game but the driver

A friendly message like "your PC cannot run this game" would be nicer

This evening I will deactivate WebGL in the capx and see what happens.

zenox98: ok I'll attach a capx, just for rule compliance. The information about browsers is not relevant because the application crashes as soon as the project is opened.

Well, I really don't expect Scirra to make it work, but IMHO a software should not crash that way.

deathangel1479: no, there are no newer drivers. I checked it on the HP web site, and my installed version is final.

Problem Description

Construct2 crashes when creating a WebGL-based sample project

Attach a Capx

No need to attach, all WebGL samples shipped with the software have the same effect.

Description of Capx

See above

Steps to Reproduce Bug

* Open Construct2

* Open any WebGL sample project.

* Windows immediately reports a crash

Observed Result

Application crashes. I suspect the problem is with the video drivers, they are 5 years old but there is nothing I can do, as the PC is no longer in production.

I would expect an error message from Construct2, explaining (more or less) why the example can't run on that specific computer.

Hello everybody, first message on the forum.

I like almost all kinds of computer games, especially RPGs and other strategy games, but also time management are OK. On the other hand I strongly dislike HOGs

After some experience as a RPG Maker (VX Ace) developer , I'd like to create other kinds of games as well.

So I'm learning Construct2, IMHO one of the best dev platforms, although I really miss a "move on path" function like that of GameMaker Studio...

Cheers
