  • Mhhhm. This makes me unable to work on my game as Firefox's the only browser capable of running really big projects :/. Hope it gets fixed soon.

  • Ashley Making a new profile actually fixed the bug. Thanks!

    This one's made me unable to work on my game period.

  • zenox98 There's no source. I tried it on my main project as well which has tons of videos with sources and it ended up with the same result. It's the plugin itself that's the issue, not the source.

  • Problem Description

    I boot up the game which worked just fine in the latest stable release. However the latest stable update (212) breaks the preview immediately. The game doesn't even have time to boot before I get the error message:

    Javascript error!

    SyntaxError: let is a reserved identifier

    http://localhost:50000/video_plugin.js, line 469 (col 2)

    I opened another game project which didn't have a video plugin active and it ran just fine. The first boot after adding it however gave the same results.

    Attach a Capx

    https://docs.google.com/uc?authuser=0&i ... t=download

    Description of Capx

    It's a gamejam game I made in about 2 days with an added video instance to it. Remove the video and disable the debugger sheet and you have yourself a tidy little foul mouthed video game on your hands.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

      Open the project and preview using Firefox. Should end up immediately resulting in the error and crashing. Remove the video instance from the capx and preview again. Works just fine.

  • Problem Description

    I need to use the local storage plugin in FireFox, but I keep getting the error message:

    Javascript error!

    InvalidStateError

    http://localhost:50000/LocalStorage_plugin.js, line 13 (col 0)

    It works fine however in NW.js and Chrome preview

    Description of Capx

    This capx allows you to clear storage with pressing "1". By pressing "2" you write two highscore files. Press F1 to restart the layout and see that the values have been loaded in and printed on the text objects.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

      Simply boot the capx in firefox preview. Nothing works.

    Observed Result

    I preview the capx in firefox and immediately get the error. The capx however works fine in Chrome and NW.js

    Expected Result

    I expect the local storage to successfully store the files and load them.

  • ErekT I did some more tests. Turns out if I went to the nvidia control panel and turned on "Display GPU Activity Icon in Notification Area", followed by right clicking the NW.exe, chose "Run with graphics processor", and choosing the Nvidia card at the end. The control panel recognized the game, and performance dramatically improved.

    My game isn't an unoptimized piece of s*it after all!

    Edit: Though the renderdetail still return the intel card for some reason...

  • ErekT Doesn't seem to work for me. Same performance and renderdetail still returns my intergrated card.

    http://i.imgur.com/Tl1dScm.jpg I implemented the text like this. Not sure if it's correct?

    Edit: Just to foolproof that my geforce isn't being used, I disabled it to see how the intergrated card holds up. Exact same performance. The geforce isn't being used at all...

  • Colludium Yes I do. Why does it matter?

  • Colludium I did some more tests. It seems like my laptop is using the intergrated GPU instead of the Geforce 630M. The renderer's returned as WebGL, but the GPU in renderdetail is Angle (Intel(R) HD). I tried overriding the GPU in 3D settings on the control panel, but it doesn't seem to work... I'm using Node Webkit as well, which shouldn't be using the intergrated card to begin with?

  • I'm doing some performance tests on older computers and I occationally keep running into very jaggy performance. After a lot of testing I think it might be linked with the Fill rate, as the jaggy areas often have lots of sprites (with opacity and alpha) overlapping. I can't seem to find a good way to gather data on this though. I feel like I have no way of properly investigating what's the source of the bad performance.

    Any ideas?

  • I am doing playtesting throughout the entire game I'm making. All layouts play smooth when I go straight to it from the main menu, however I've noticed slowdowns (or more like choppyness) when I play the game for more than 40 minutes (give or take 10 min), and play through it all chronologically. The first thing one would think is "oh it's obviously a memory leak", but I don't see any more memory use than normal in my task manager. I rarely stay on the same layout for more than 2-3 minutes at a time, and nothing carries over to the next layout apart from assets that's common between the two. I also tried making hotkeyes for every level and teleport quickly between them to quickly make sure all the assets in the game have been loaded in at some point, still runs smooth. It only really seems to happen after long playsessions.

    The worst part is that this seems to be happening completely at random. I've had playsessions on the same computer with the same builds where the slowdown occur. It feels very choppy, almost like an unstable vsync of sorts. Can anyone relate? I'm using the latest stable release of C2 with Node Webkit.

    Thanks

  • Well that's kind of a deal breaker for gamepad support...
