    No software is supported forever. C2 is coming up to 10 years old. Retirement and replacement by a newer version is a normal thing that happens in the software industry, pretty much no matter what software you use. We've been phasing out C2 slowly and making announcements along the way to give everyone plenty of time to upgrade.

    You said all that, without answering my question or helping with my concerns about my system coming crashing down when you stop support.

    How often do you come across a critical thing that for example, java or google changed, that would break c2 games?

    scirra.com/construct2/releases/r279

    It was retired in July, and there's already a release for a bug fix.

    That should be some indication.

    I would worry more about Java screwing things up.

    They are stopping support July 2021, nearly another year...

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

    When I purchased C2, I chose it over c3 after I read this:

    "Unlock ALL Construct 2 features

    Unlock your full creative potential with a full Construct 2 license.

    Best of all it's a one-off payment, all updates to the Construct 2 Editor are free for life! And we don't require revenue share from your hard work."

    I have spent two years developing my school's software, with this in mind, that I will safely do so, "for life".

    So is the sunsetting of c2, also sunsetting my school software? I have spent thousands of hours and piles of cash on this project...

    I can't upgrade to c3, because a couple of plugins I use are not available in c3 (multiplayer function etc)

    I am worried, and was misguided by this: "all updates to the Construct 2 Editor are free for life!"

    Mostly worried in case of browser changes / updates, that might break my browser based system I built using c2...

    Please understand, I am genuinely worried for my business (My entire homework / exam system is built using c2)

  • Hi,

    I am really loving Gigatron's effects. Unfortunatly, they don't work in Chrome for me. However, the online demos he posted work in Chrome.

    I get this in the console:

    Uncaught Error: error compiling fragment shader: ERROR: 0:4: '

    ' : extension directive must occur before any non-preprocessor tokens in ESSL1

    WARNING: 0:4: 'GL_OES_standard_derivatives' : extension is not supported

    WARNING: 0:11: '=' : global variable initializers should be constant expressions (uniforms and globals are allowed in global initializers for legacy compatibility)

    WARNING: 0:14: '=' : global variable initializers should be constant expressions (uniforms and globals are allowed in global initializers for legacy compatibility)

    Any ideas please?

    Thanks :)

  • Thanks. As I explained in my last post, I figured it out in the end. I was worried because it was working using the local host before, with images from Photobucket, my server etc. The reason I thought it might had been a bug is that it Suddenly stopped working on both local host and server.

    Anyway, sorted the server out. Shame it won't work on the local host as adds lots to dev time.

  • Okay, all solved.

    I was using

    "http://website.com/folder/images/picture.png"

    Because the images are on my server..

    Instead, I tried:

    "/folder/images/picture.png"

    And it works now.

  • 1) This used to work with the local host. But now it doesn't.

    2) I have tried with many different sources of image.

    3) I have tried with 2 different website hosts (my old host used to work with this but now it doesn't)

    4) I have asked a couple of friends to try with their local machine and host. It doesn't work.

    5) I also tried with c3 and it doesn't work.

    6) The user The Mnk who kindly tried this out also had the same problem.

  • Thanks Newt!

    So would this be something that could be updated in Construct by the developers?

  • The other students don't have images in their homework, as it is all text based for them (Higher levels)

  • Our school relies heavily on this functionality for our online homework. We have built all the learning software with C2! It needs the images for much of the homework we set for the students. We are getting mixed results. About a quarter of the students are reporting no images. It has become quite a serious problem..

    I hope a fix will be on the way soon!

  • Thanks so much for taking the time to test this The~Mnk!

    So, something has changed online and needs to be fixed in C2 and C3 I believe.
