  • No, we've asked Microsoft a couple of times now, they are still not responding to us. This is pretty typical of large companies in my experience. Hopefully we will get through eventually.

    Just stopped by here to check the status on this myself. They've already approved my C2-based game for release on XB1, so I'm reaching out to see if the MS reps who helped with that can look into if there's a way to speed up the process and my producer says he knows someone in the tools group to also contact. I'm not under the impression that anyone over there likes the weird holdups either. What's a good way to shoot contacts over to you, the support email?

  • Photon server does not send room list on demand. Only when client connects or list is changed.

    Cache what you receive in "on room list" and use cached value each time you want to manually retrieve room list.

    Thanks for the info, and that's a great idea. I shouldn't work on multiplayer at 3am .

  • ThePhotons Is there a way to manually retrieve the room list? I see an "on room list" expression but no action to retrieve it.

  • digitalsoapbox Loving the work. What platforms will this be released on? Looks like you have it on Xbox now?

    Windows for sure, hopefully OSX (though Mac GPUs tend to **** outside of their very expensive computers), Linux. All through Steam. Working on XBox One support as well, and although Ashley has announced C2 has XB1 support, that's not ENTIRELY the case and there's still a lot of work to be done on Scirra's end to make it a viable engine for console platforms (friends lists, integration with XB1 storefront etc.). Fingers crossed it gets better support on XB1 than Wii U, though due to how C2 works on XB1 it's never going to have full access to the hardware because of some artificial limitations put in place by MS on shared app system access that are mostly related to memory limits.

    And BIG props to both MadSpy for his work on adding reliable, functioning Steamworks support to C2 and Badmiracle for the full-on Photon multiplayer plugin that allows real cross-platform multiplayer.

  • Hey all! The Sombrero Teaser trailer is now live!

  • Ashley - I am about to build a karaoke app. But before I begin, I would like to get a better appreciation of how the imported sound files work during performance. I understand that files imported to the music folder are streamed while those imported to the sound folder are preloaded etc. My main concern is regarding the size of the project. I am sure if I import over 1000 music files, the project will be very big in size. Since all of the songs for this karaoke app will be stored in the music folder would this affect the performance of the user's device?

    If you're only playing a single music track at a time, it should work everywhere. If you get into trying to play multiple long sound clips (not streaming audio) at once, at least on mobile, audio sync breaks down quickly over time and you'll start hearing a lot of audio glitches and skipping.

  • This plugin has been working out extremely well, and actually allows previews! What a huge timesaver, not sure why Scirra dropped the ball so hard on Steam support. Thanks for putting in the effort, —

    Are you still going to add the features we discussed through email? You've stopped responding to emails.

    Your email:

    We are working on missing plugin features and hope will release soon.

    The most important feature is matchmaking which covers your case w/o need to retrieve all rooms properties.

    Nevertheless we will add method for getting room properties by room position in list and property name.

    Remember this from 6/9?

  • Plugins are also stored in your %appdata% folder. If any of the official addons caused this message, everybody would be seeing it, but only you are so it must be a third-party addon in %appdata% which you have not cleared.

    That will help narrow down the issue, thanks.

  • This is always caused by buggy third party plugins. Closing, please check which third party addons you have installed.

    As I mentioned in the OP, this is happening with a completely clean install. As in, uninstall C2, completely remove the C2 directory from Program Files, install C2. The error does not occur in r227.

    *EDIT: It occurs in r228 as well. Again, this is a clean install, no 3rd-party plugins or effects anywhere near it.

  • Same issue on Windows 7&10, nwjs 13-15.
