Since I got my first game working I wanted to run it through the windows app certification kit to see how well I did.

It passed everything except for suspending:

"Application Error: Application Suspend was not detected for application App. This could be because your application failed to suspend correctly."

I tried running the app and switching to the desktop while Task Manager was running but the app never suspended.

Any suggestions on how to correct this? I'm on r126.

Thanks.

Well I rebuilt the game from scratch and this time it ran. Not sure what I did wrong before.

Hello people!

I've been working on my first game using the Windows 8 template. Just a simple game that works great from Construct 2 but exporting is giving me problems.

I followed the directions to a 'T' I believe. I set the name, author, and description before exporting and also set test mode off.

Then I opened it up in Visual Studio and created a test certificate for it. F5 and away I went...almost. The main screen comes up but it tries to Share something and I get an error message in Visual Studio:

========================================================

Unhandled exception at line 13050, column 4 in ms-appx://aeefdae0-55d0-43be-9e27-2d837796b7d6/c2runtime.js

0x8001010a - JavaScript runtime error: The message filter indicated that the application is busy.

WinRT information: The share flow is not available at this time

===============================================================

Not really sure what that's all about but then the game then closes and will not reopen.

My first brilliant(at least I thought it was worth a shot) idea was to go back to Construct 2 and remove the first two actions that deal with sharing. I also deleted the ShareButton, PurchaseStatus, PurchaseButton, and PausedText from the project. Why? I don't know, I'm flying blind here with no experience.

Export again and now the game doesn't even get to the main screen, I get a black screen and Visual Studio gives me nothing.

Any advice would be most appreciated. I read through 5 pages of results searching for "Visual Studio" but I didn't see anything similar.

I'm guessing I made it worse by deleting things but I saved a backup.

If you made it through this long post, thank you!!

Hello people,

I've been gaming for a really long time, since the late 70's.

I found a link to Construct 2 in an email from Microsoft so I stopped by and I'm very intrigued.

I hope to spend some serious time making games and finding those darn cookies someone mentioned.
