Hi,

I had a question about Construct Classic. I've been working on various projects on and off in the past few months, and relatively recently I've run into a recurring problem. Sometimes it happens and sometimes not. Sometimes it even seems to fix itself the next time I open Construct, and then it occurs again.

I'll open a project (any project) in Construct Classic. I can run the project or layout once, and it works just fine. It's always the second time I run it (same instance of Construct) that it proclaims:

     Runtime Error

     Invalid image handle referenced in layout (Davo's fault).

Subsequent runs results in the same error. It's strange. The only remedy I have found (sort of) is to close Construct and open a new instance of it. The second run will always result in an error though. I can even make changes to the project, get the error, then save and close, reopen, and it works fine...on the first run only.

I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Construct a few times to try and solve it; this seems to work for about a month or so, and then I start getting the error again. I've been wondering whether its a problem with DirectX 9, and whether I should reinstall that too? Problem is, this error has occurred on multiple computers, so I guess that would be unlikely to fix it.

This is getting rather frustrating and I was wondering if anyone had any insight?

Thanks,

Spencer

Hi,

I've been using Contruct 1 for a good two or more years now, the majority of which I have spent building a single, really big and getting-out-of-hand project. I've learned a lot about game design while using Construct, and have made a lot of progress, despite Construct's quirks.

Other than that, I'm a Computer Science student enrolled at the University of Wyoming. I've got some good experience with both Java and C++, both of which require considerably more time to work with than when building an application in Construct!

I've as long as I can really remember had a passion for game design, and hope to build some really cool stuff.

Thanks,

Spencer
