Hello there,

I'm having problem to authenticate the users using google play

When I try to use the Sign-in condition, I get the error n 4 without any other information.

So, I generate the key the first time I made the app, and I have been always use this key when I published the game (as internal testing).

I see the SHA1 keys as in your screenshot, and the key that I use for the game uploaded has the same SHA1 of the uploaded key on the google play console.

I added the id app and the id client from the service game page (the id client is a really long string)

Do you have any suggestion on which troubleshoot I should do?

Thank you!

UPDATE: It doesn't work neither using a android vm. So the problem is not the connection between the 2 devices, but there must be some problem with the project itself.

Did anyone ever used this? I mean, it is extremely important if you want to test your app in thousands of devices to figure it out which device you have to exclude before publishing it.

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to release an internal testing using the google play console.

I have successfully exported the app as boundle (aab) and signed with the key that I made on Construct3.

However, I get this warning:

This App Bundle contains Java/Kotlin code, which might be obfuscated. We recommend you upload a deobfuscation file to make your crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug.

I don't think this stop me to rollout the internal testing. However, when I click on Start rollout, I get this error: An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again. (5017B865)

So, basically I can't continue. I wanted to set it up the in app purchase.

I tried to google it but I can't find anything. Does anyone has a guide to build the apk using adroid studio?

Thank you

Please note the earlier link is to old Construct 2 documentation - for up-to-date advice see the Performance Tips guide in the Construct 3 documentation instead.

Ashley, could you please define what do you mean by: > "Drawing more images, and larger images, requires writing more pixels to memory."

Does this implies also to tiled background? or small stretched sprites? or it is specific to a large images by pixels (and not by their size itself?)

Still here > "Therefore the worst-case scenario for fill rate is a stack of large overlapping images."

When you says as "large overlapping images" do you mean large by their pixel size in the image editor? like, if you have an image that is 24x24px and you stretch it to 1024x1024px, is that considered a large image?

Lastly, I have a questions about tilemaps.

I have been doing several experiments using tilemap. Do you think a tilemap that is 1024x960px covering a 40000x5000px is more performant then having hundreds of small but stretched tiled backgrounds? I found that using multiple tiled background are faster than a huge tilemap, both in editor and ingame.

Thank you!

I just tried the game. On my galaxy note 10 the game is not full screen, but there are 2 black bars on the side.

When you release the game as open beta, can people from the market see the app and download it? or you need to send the link?

When you install the addons you can use them between your projects.

However, be aware about using them. I would avoid to use any third plugin party that are not strictly necessary, and are not from an author that is not active. The main reason is because they could crash over time (due the construct3 updates) and if the plugin doesn't get updated, you will end up with a broken project.

You should be able to install them using the the pane on the View:

Menu > View > Addon Manager > Install new Addon.

I didn't got the meaning of 2000 events. Are they on the same event sheet,or are you talking about "total" events in the game itself?

My game had lots and lots of events and objects (if you want to try then thapli.netlify.app . And I am quite satisfied with the performance.(the game is still in construction)

A total of 2000 events distributed in 12 different event sheet.

My concerns are about the different result between the preview mode vs the final exportation. I'm confident about construct3 performance. I already made several project that are quite complex that run with solid fps on my old iphone, However, I never exported them to the actual app format.

I wouldn't like to see my game running 60fps in the browser and then a drop of 15fps in the APK for some reasons.

Also, I think that these problem are going to dissolve over the years, but still, it seems that everything is going is slow-motion. 5 years ago people were complaining about performance. Now, we are having the same problem, even with recent smartphone.

Thanks Ribis - could you please do one more thing on your Note 10 - in Chrome type chrome://gpu in the address bar, scroll down to Driver Information - what is your driver version and GL_RENDERER? Appreciate your help!

It is Adreno (TM) 640.

No problem

Ribis would you mind testing his APK on your Samsung Galaxy Note 10? That has a Mali G-series GPU too...

I just tested it. CPU usage between 17/24.

The game runs at 60fps, however every time you start a new game there is a significant drop for like a second.
