Hi all.

This has been noted several times in other posts, but I thought it deserved a mention in it's own topic.

The Problem:

When attempting to post or reply to a post

USUALLY

This results in the page reloading with some stuff about permission - all in red text

OTHER TIMES

You just get a session expired error window popping up - after like 10 or 15 minutes, which surely is a short time for a session to expire.

A TYPICAL POST EXPERIENCE

This is what I have to do when I want to post or reply to posts anywhere in the forums:

1. Login - Required so I can Create a post or Reply to a post

2. Write the stuff I want to post

3. Copy what I have written

3. Attempt to submit the post

4. This will normally return one of the errors noted above

5. Go to any Scirra page and Log Out

6. Go to the Login page and login - AGAIN

7. Find the topic I wanted to reply to, or start a new topic again

8. Paste the info back in again

9. Submit - AGAIN

10. This will hopefully and, usually does post the info to the forum

Why it matters:

1. Well it is a little annoying after the first post

2. After several posts it is a real annoyance

3. It makes you think twice about creating and\or replying to posts - it just a pain to do so.

So could you great guys at Scirra take a look at this please.

Thanks....

EDIT: This has already been reported by kenhes, but since there was no capx info to reproduce problem in that post I decided to post new topic with more info. Sorry for double up.....

Hi mutaware,

I believe you need to install win 8.1

Edit: or export app targeting VS2012 and open innthat version.

Bit more info:

The line in question is where the "In Test Mode' banner is displayed.

If you export the game with Win8\Test mode turned off it compiles and runs as expected.

There are other issues also:

1) Mouse object doesn't work as expected.

2) Snap no longer works

However I have not had time to look more into those issues as yet....

Not required: just use Scirra Win8 project template

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create Win8 project using built-in template

2. Export using the VS 2013 option and an open in VS 2013 Preview

3. Attempt to build the solution

Observed result:

This error is returned:

Unhandled exception at line 292, column 458 in ms-appx://fbe66f5d-7300-4fd7-8818-6a58e2371133/c2runtime.js

0x80070005 - JavaScript runtime error: Access is denied.

If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.

Hi, it may not be related but I have a weird thing happening when previewing in Chrome also - which only just started yesterday.

One game I have been working on has bee getting a constant 60 fps. finished up for the day, last preview constant 60 fps. The next day (yesterday) when previewing in Chrome it was getting a constant 30 fps!

What's weird about it:

1) I hadn't made any changes to the game.

2) IE11 runs it at constant 60 fps (webgl)

3) Export as win8 app - constant 60 fps (canvas 2D)

I thought maybe WebGL was turned off in Chrome somehow but it appears not and it reports as running in WebGL when previewing.

I even did a complete reinstall of my system, graphics drivers are up to the minute. Just tried on CR146 - same....

Ashley, all OK in R144.2.

Thanks for great product and excellent support.

Hmmm, any game exported to Win8 fails when attempting to run in VS....

Not required. Just use the Scirra Windows 8 app template.

Unhandled exception at line 158, column 57 in ms-appx://0e988538-1fed-41f2-a000-0d2cf189c901/c2runtime.js

Hi Jase5z,

I am not sure if you are saying you have a Steam licence as well as a one obtained directly from Scirra, so sorry if I am on the wrong track.

However that said, if you purchased a PL from Scirra you can get your license file at any time - do this:

1) Go to the Scirra Login screen and log in

2) Expand the menu arrow next to your name

3) Select Your Purchases

4) You will be able to download your license file from there

But if you only have one purchased through Steam, then as zenox98 says your best option is to contact Scirra...

Hope this helps <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Have installed the 8.1 preview, and IE 11 has webgl (flagged as experimental).

However when you create a win8 app it still uses Canvas2D.

We wait and hope......
