Thanks for letting us know about these. Can you post a bug report in the Bugs section for Scirra to investigate?

It would be pretty blind if Scirra only investigates bugs which are posted on their bugs section.

I am a little tired of posting those little (but still important) bug reports.

Need to spend more time on creative works.

So in this case - I am just letting know about those problems and I hope Scirra's attention would go here

Peace

UPDATE:

Just reproduced it on Chrome for Android... Looks like the problem is on Android too.

The new Mac Safari: Performace lower than Chrome's. If the game becomes technically intense (in example pretty much particles) - the game on the new Mac's Safari loses lots of FPS, while on Chrome it's still smooth and cool.

Update: Large bullet object (clouds in example) that moves slow also causes low FPS.

W10 Edge: Screenshots does not save (invoking download of CanvasSnapshot does not work)

and Audio looping lags a little, is not smooth.

W10 FF: Some sounds broken (looks like random sounds. Can’t understand why some of them plays bad) see http://www.crystalgames.space/under and reproduce by crashing into black ghost. Compare it to Chrome to see the difference.

+Positioned sound also plays bad. Please see game http://www.crystalgames.space/saxmanhealer (lvl1 with crows)

Just letting know. It's up to Construct2 developers to what to do next.

Peace

Hello!

Would be great if there was Mac and Windows platforms to select in "is on platform" event.

Thanks

Everyone who wants to make the same workaround as I did, here is the inaudible sound: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/714 ... xSound.zip

Enjoy;)

Bug report here:

Problem Description

Sound is still lost under these circumstances:

When device goes to sleep and the looping audio was active it's alright.

But if there was no audio at the moment the device was left inactive - audio is lost (and somehow one of my games becomes buggy and unplayable)

My workaround: Play inaudible sound every 1sec all the time. It fixes the problem (even the latter buggyness..<img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile"> )

Though it was fixed pretty well - it's still not completely fixed, as I've reported in my latter post.

I have reported this to Apple. And of course - the more people report the same issue, the more attention the bug will get from Apple.

So I encourage everyone who is struggling with this issue to report it too here: https://bugreport.apple.com/

Also the loading screen messes up a little while loading the game on iOS (reproduced by rotating the device from landscape to portrait and vice versa while loading the game) . Ashley, I am pretty sure You have your own bug list, to quickly add this little new one, so I don't need to create a whole new forum bug post about this little issue)

Peace

I really appreciate that you are constantly improving Construct2 and keep with us users in a close touch!

I am using newest Chrome for Android + newest C2

The bug was not totally fixed. I posted info on a chromium bugs site - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/is ... pby=&sort=

"UPDATE:

Bug is still reproducible in some circumstances. I will mention it below.

*Game's tab is active and game's music playing. I leave it inactive, phone's screen turns off. I come back to the game after a couple of minutes and the sound is not lost and everything is fine. THAT'S WHAT WAS FIXED.

*WHAT WAS NOT FIXED: Game's tab is active and game's music is NOT playing yet (still in menu and start button wasn't yet pressed in example). I leave it inactive, phone's screen turns off. I come back to the game after a couple of minutes and the sound IS LOST and returns only when the game's tab is refreshed (bad:) )"

So in order for this fix to work, the audio needs to be played ALWAYS, which is definitely not true for a lot of games:)

I will try a workaround by playing an inaudible sound every 1 sec just to keep the audio always active. Maybe this will work and I will let You know.

Peace

Ashley

UPDATE: Looks like Chrome devs fixed this problem only for situations, where games had any audio playing at the moment before the problem could be triggered.

In example: if I leave a game to be inactive that has audio playing constantly it will be alright and the audio will no be lost.

BUT if I leave a game inactive which has audio, BUT does not play any at that moment of leave - the game loses sound (and SaxManHealer also becomes buggy...)

Peace
