Problem Description

After installing Windows update KB4053580, Construct 2 crashes when opening any capx file. I've tested roughly a dozen capx file to make sure there wasn't something else I was missing. I've observed this behavior in r244 and r250.

Uninstalling Windows update KB4053580 via Windows system recovery immediately resolves the issue. I've done this process twice to verify.

--

After performing the system recovery I accidentally had the update install while C2 was running, it immediately crashed once the update was installed. C2 would not run until I rolled back the update

R244 (also observed in r250)

Ashley FWIW I also installed r250(just to see if it was any different) and getting the same crash after launching a capx.

I tried removing the license file as someone else did and it's still crashing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still getting a crash. All in r250 as well.

If you feel my issue is inconsistent with the other reports I'll create a separate thread for r244. Let me know!

Thanks

I'm getting the same thing in r244. I tried reinstalling, uninstalling/reinstalling and still getting the same error.

C2 launches fine for me, but whenever I try to launch any projects is when it locks up and crashes. Even trying to create a new project results in the same lockup and crash

I can't upgrade to r250 at the moment, the team is on a compressed deadline and we'll be shipping soon.

The only thing I can think of that's different is when I tried using C2 I got the pop up message about a new update. After that it hasn't been working. :/

I tried launching it with wifi disabled to see if it was a "phone home" error, but still results in the same lock up and crash.

The following Windows update were installed yesterday. Which is a day between when C2 was working and it not working now:

And an update to the Intel Graphics driver.

The timeline does align with the issue. Let me know if you have any other questions!

You help is very much appreciated! Thanks!!!

Ah! Great suggestions. Both are totally doable but I think I may go with the instance variable method.

Thanks all!

Hello all,

I'm working on designing some utility functions in my game. They each have a specific purpose e.g. pick all the instances in an area, pick all the instances with a specific frame displayed, count all the instances in an area, etc.

I was hoping if I called a second function inside a function that the instances picked from the first function would be passed to the second function. That would have allowed me to combine all the variations as needed. I tested things and this doesn't seem to be the case and the instances aren't passed along.

Can anyone think of a way around this? The alternative is designing a giant function that includes all variations.... which is not preferred.

Thanks all!

Thanks!

Heya — Any chance you could reshare this capx? Thanks bud!

Howdy rexrainbow! I'm getting the following error when trying to run the firebase v3 - set value.

example capx:

I haven't changed anything so there's just the Firebase and the FirebaseAPIV3 plugins in the project. Any guesses?

On a side note, do you have any plans to update the plugin to support Firebase version 4.x.x?

Thanks!

Daemon haha. I've pinged Ashley about it a number of times through different means. His direct response was basically it's a feature that only a certain small subset would use -the more professional workflow devs IMO-, and because of that most users wouldn't use it. Also due to the fact there's a large emphasis on beginners he said they prioritize features that benefit all users. Not my favorite answer but fair, it's a business.

I did get a solution mostly working with http://www.sikuli.org/ at one point. It's very hacky and fragile but it should work. If I get it up and running again I'll copy it here. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Awesome! Thanks rexrainbow! I'm super excited about all the changes in 3.x. A Firebase engineer gave me some hints at GDC, glad to see they delivered. I'm eager to jump in now.

Let me know if you need any assistance or help testing.

Hello all,

I'm working on implementing this API in a C2 project for authentication and user management.

I'm trying to get the steps listed in the Quickstart guide working: https://developer.mydigipass.com/quick_start.

<a class="dpplus-connect" data-scope="email phone eid_profile" data-client-id="5tebn0q12kv52mqnwcdhk0mu9" data-redirect-uri="http://yourapp.com" data-is-sandbox="true" href="#">Signup with MYDIGIPASS.COM</a>[/code:2j4lduaq]
I have it working in a website but not inside C2. The part I'm stuck on is trying to simulate an anchor tag being clicked... ^^

Once I get the response with the query string it, should be a simple matter of using the AJAX and JSON plugins to complete the process.

Thanks!

R0J0hound YOU ARE TRULY A WIZARD!!! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked"> <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked"> <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked">

It's close, but not quite working. :/ See video.

Here's the capx I ended up with: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vggk894lm5m8u ... .capx?dl=0 . Any guesses? Everything look close?

-------

Also a few mistakes(?) I noticed as I was implementing. I wanted to double check:

touch id 0 is touching

--- box: set position to self.x+(touch(0).x-oldtouch0x), self.y+(touch(0).y-oldtouch0x) <-- Should be oldtouch0y

==========

global doty=0 <--Was missing but referenced. I added it in.

==========

global number ang=0 <---- Not used?

But seriously, thanks so much for all your help! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">
