In case anyone else has this issue, I may have found a solution. So far it hasn't crashed yet after doing this.

I went to chrome://flags "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" and set it to OpenGL. I have an NVIDIA graphics card, and it says "Using the OpenGL driver as the graphics backend may result in higher performance in some graphics-heavy applications, particularly on NVIDIA GPUs." Anyway, so far so good!

> it simply produces a black screen and the layout goes blank with a little broken image icon.

That sounds like a graphics driver crash that takes out the WebGL canvas. There might be more details if you press F12 and check the browser console.

I'd guess either you're using too much memory and it's overloading the graphics hardware, or the graphics driver is crashing. If it's a graphics driver crash that is unfortunately difficult to deal with; your best bet is to install any available system software updates and hope that a fix comes through.

OK thanks for the insight!

Hey Joe,

One thing I've found with preview builds is they don't work a lot of time for me if they're in fullscreen mode. For whatever reason, I find that the previews run more consistently when windowed.

Not sure if that's what you're dealing with, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Hey Luke, thanks! Unfortunately, it seems to happen whether windowed or fullscreen

I've been running Construct on the NW.js to build my game for a long time now, and unfortunately switching back to the browser is causing preview builds to crash 2/3 of the time. There's no crash log or anything, it simply produces a black screen and the layout goes blank with a little broken image icon. I've tried different browsers. Vivaldi seems to be the most stable so far, but it still crashes very frequently. I know my game is very image intensive, but it was working fine with the NW.js editor. It seems to happen randomly, and it's really slowing down my productivity.

Any ideas to prevent this? Thanks!

Oh, OK, will do. Thanks!

I've been using a simple overlay effect to create a film grain look, and now when I open my project the effect causes the entire scene to be flipped 90 degrees, stretched, and distorted. Turning the effect off removes the distorted effect, and other blend effects seem to cause similar flipping and distortion. I'm not sure what changed, but opening previous versions of both my project and previous Construct releases doesn't help. Any ideas?

Hey everyone! I released a pre-alpha demo this week on Steam as part of the Game Awards Festival.

It'll only be up for a limited time, so check it out now if you're interested!

Here's a quick video of gameplay with some behind-the-scenes on how I made the animations:

Congratulations on your successful campaign!!!!!!!!!!

This is my dream but now I can not find a way to put my game to Kickstarter since I am not in the support countries:(

Guinea Pig Parkour is great anyway :)))

Thanks so much!!

were you using construct 3 to make this?

Yeah!
