  • I have real games that actually grind to a halt just like this, whereas with 139 they do not. C2 has drastically worse performance than it did before, and I believe it has something to do with the collision cells update. Ashley this is a big one, I think it happened right after the collision cells update. I can provide many more tests just like this to help illustrate the problem in order to benefit you and the c2/c3 community. Thank you for fixing this. Let me know how I can help: I'm committed to getting this one resolved. It's too big and too drastic/beneficial to go unnoticed or unfixed. Thank you, I'll provide more examples in days to come.. I have virtually unlimited examples of this problem so hopefully all of these help in resolving it. Good Luck!

  • Please test it and let me know, THANKS!!!!!!

  • Burvey

    Thank you, maybe something good can come out of this for all of us then.

    It doesn't really matter what the test is, if it shows clearly how the previous version is vastly superior, isn't it better? All I know is, my old project ran perfectly before and now no matter what I do it will not run anymore except at a slow crawl, whereas before it ran perfectly. That is the clear problem here. Whatever happened to Construct 2 made it much worse than before.

  • Burvey

    I simply set up 2 identical projects and showed their performance comparatively. If the 242 version runs at 28 fps after your event changes, think of what the performance will be on the 139 version with the same changes!!! Why are you fighting for worse performance? It seems like better is better, right???????

  • Ashley is probably busy with the release of Construct 3 so I wanted to see if anyone could lend me their brain power here:

    I put it in the bug report section, but it's more of a performance test between an older version of Construct 2 and the latest.

    Please let me know what you think and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I found a way to double the performance of Construct 2 with an older version:.

  • Problem Description

    In the early days of Construct 2 I made an amazing project. It took me about 8 months. Everyone that played it absolutely loved it. It was revolutionary, amazing, and incredibly fun. Then when a newer version of Contruct 2 came out (I BELIEVE IT WAS THE COLLISION CELLS 'UPDATE'), my project completely broke and remains unplayable to this day. I am going to demonstrate the problem so any user of C2 can reproduce it...

    Attach a Capx

    2. C2 project created with r239 Capx Download (runs on C2 version r239 +):

    Description of Capx

    This concisely shows how r139 had Far Better Performance (before collision cells were implemented) than every other version after it including the latest stable version r239.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    Observed Result

    The older version (139) version goes fast at approx 14 fps on my computer. But the new version (239) goes less than half as fast and eventually grinds to a hault not performing at all. How is this Better??

    Expected Result

    I expected this.

    Affected Browsers

    • Chrome: (YES)

    Operating System and Service Pack

    Windows 10 Latest

    Construct 2 Version ID

    r139-r239.

  • It causes noticeable hiccups and can make an otherwise smooth game look very choppy.

  • Yes, 100%!!

  • Thanks!

  • Ashley

    I wish we could drag/drop audio files into the project. That would be so much faster and more convenient when batch installing tons of audio files .

  • I also have the same questions!!

    SamRock welcome back!!

    How did your iOS game turn out with Intel XDK export??

    Any tricks you can share?!? ))
