As a side note: Nice laptop you have there, alot of power.

Now to your problem, this is something that is a power saving feature.

Blame Nvidia... Heres a solution that should work:

• Open Nvidia control panel
• Click View
• Turn ON: Add "Run with graphics processor" Option to Context Menu"
• Turn ON: "Display GPU Activity Icon in Notification Area"
• Close Nvidia control panel
• Right-click on the Chrome icon and select: Run with graphics processor
• Select: "High-performance NVIDIA processor"

Soo, many are really glad about this, but, as it stands this only changes one thing. That Greenworks has workshop support.

To shorten this as much as possible:

Greenworks is a Node Webkit module written for Node 0.10

Node Webkit has 2 branches, one with Node 0.10 and Old Chromium and one with Node 0.11 and New/Updated Chromium.

C2 uses the one with 0.11 as it's the most recent version that makes multiplayer for Node Webkit possible.

The reason nobody starts working on a C2 plugin is, that if such a plugin were made, only those using the old NW could use it. And nobody here wants a rollback.

It is not possible to use a Module that is written for 0.10 on 0.11 since there has been some API changes in Node that breaks compatibility.

A 0.11 will probably never come, but more likely a 0.12, they already began working on Node 0.13

We need somebody that updates Greenworks to be compatible with Node 0.11/0.12/0.13 so another one (Or the same) can write a Plugin for C2 to use it.

So i stumbled upon this on teh internet.

JXCore. It is a Node distribution [100% Node.JS Compatible]

And even more important, Seamless Multithreading for all Node.JS apps.

As well as Internal thread and process monitoring and recovery.

You can read everything about it here: http://jxcore.com/home/

But now to the question, is it usable for C2?

As far as my humble research went, i state a careful 'yes'.

Since im not an expert in Node or JS, i think i can't clearly say if it is useable or not.

Thats why i posted this here. Is it usable? If yes, how?

^^ Im pretty sure Multithreading would be a great addition. A really useful addition, to C2.

Thanks for reading, i hope a expert can bring light into the case.

joelbelo "Its not a bug, Its a feature"

It first needs to connect to the server to find a peer. If it is in the same network, then it makes it a lan connection.

But 100% lan isnt possible.

Ashley said it's not needed because not enough people would use this feature (To make it 100% lan)

So yeah, short: It is not possible to use multiplayer without internet. Sadly.

When i used it they does not seem to rotate on collision :/

Is there an option i missed?

Anyway, i found the bug.

It occurs when using Node-Webkit. But it does not occure when using Chrome.

• Conti

I tried to find out the issue and tried to reconstruct it in a capx, but i can't :/

I will try to continue find out when it occurs and notify you when i do

Also, is there going to be rotation?

• Conti

I just wanted to test it, added Chipmunk to two different objects and voila:

Anyway, i hope you continue working on this one R0J0, seems pretty promising

• Conti

Im not sure if this helps you guys any further, but the thing i do in this kind of situation, is, i search the internet for similar problems.

I found something that is really close to the problem you describe: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/bnKrPwwGm-0

Disagree completely.

A) I have brains, and still had issues.

B) Because there is a major difference between the two and it isn't the software(I agree its the same software). It is the authentication that steam uses to verify that the software is legit. This is what causes an huge number of issues. This is not C2 related at all, this is steam related. And steam is aware of it and couldn't care about fixing it. I spent some time in correspondence with them, they truly don't give a sh*t.

Steam and C2: Yes it works, for awhile, but depending on your pc, your installed software, your drivers, your everything it can break on a single update from anything.

Steam version: Crashed every couple hours, was less productive than standalone (multiple instances, file association etc)

Standalone version: ZERO ISSUES.

The authentication imho is more then fine, it works as it should and that is how it should be.

I cant verify any of the problems you have had with the Steam version.

And what should Steam fix? It works as it should.

It may be, since there was a few months where C2 in general had editor crashing bugs, it may be that you used the Steam version in exactly that time period.

But in the end, it comes to one point, the choice. Everyone has to choose for himself what is working what not, try the Free steam version, see if it works,

if you like Steam, use it, if not, don't. So yeah, just as spacedoubt said, in the end, it is your choice alone.

[quote:24p2i6mx]Scirra has no control over whether Steam give a discount or not.

True and untrue.

ValvE CAN make sales which Scirra doesn't have much control over.

But, Scirra in fact can make a sale and set the discount themselves.

Also, i own the Steam version.

Here a quick comparison with pro's and cons (Compared to normal version) after 400 hours of use:

Pros:

• Auto-Update
• No fiddeling with license files
• Timer Tracker

Cons:

errrr, brains?

No, honestly, i've said it again and again and i will qoute Ashley on this one.

The Steam version is NOT worse then the normal one, i can only recommend buying the Steam one.

[quote:24p2i6mx]There is no difference, other than the Steam version like all other products from Steam is tied to your Steam account and cannot run unless Steam is also running. On the other hand the standalone version can be used portably.

And some that bought it over Steam contacted Scirra and got a license for the standalone, so in the end you are not limited when buying over steam.

I got it for 50% off, and i would always buy it again over Steam.
