Hello! Yesterday (like always in the past) I worked on my project and debugger mode (Inspect page) worked as usual without any lags.

But today I suddenly encounter huge frame drops and lags! -(( I checked this and on my old versions of the project - the same issue.

I guess that this happened because Chrome was updated today (to v. 103.0.0.0), don't see any other reason for such changes in performance. I run C3 in Firefox browser and get good performance as it was yesterday in Chrome...

And I worried that this also can lead to reducing performance not only in debug mode?

So, anyway it's good to investigate these changes.

Also, maybe somebody knows how to change the Chromium version to an older one?

Enabling "Use Worker" in C3 project settings - helps to solve this, but previously it works nice with "Use Worker" - No. And I worried about non-debugger performance on slower PC's or Mobiles after this changes in Chomium.

Thanks for attention!)

P.S.: Construct 3 - r293.3 stable.

Hello! As I know on new iOS devices without a physical home button implemented on-screen swipe home indicator as a bar at the bottom of the screen. And it looks absolutely inappropriate on top of the in-game interface... (((

It can be removed by the user in an OS setting, but it's much better to hide it automatically. I googled that question and found that this can be done by adding some code (in xcode?) like:

override func prefersHomeIndicatorAutoHidden() -> Bool { return true }

But how can we did this in Construct? Or on export phase or building app phase in xcode somewhere...? Thanks!

I don't think it's clear at all that you're having the same problem as described in this thread, especially since I don't think it was ever really clear what the problem in this thread actually was to begin with.

The description of this problem is quite similar to what I have, so decided that this is the same problem.

Hmm, it's turned out to be quite simple to reproduce this issue in a blank project.

Here is an example project attached. To check it, you need iOS device and a bit of patience. On my PC all works fine, on Android - I can't check it right now, but on my iPhone8 and iPadPro-2ndGen (both on iOS 14.7.1, testing by C3 Remote Preview) audio starts crackling (or pops) after about 2-3 minutes and then becomes harder and harder until all audio is messed up in noise.

Interesting moment - I also have a very old iPadAir with iOS 12.5.4, and on it - all works fine, almost no sound issues, just a few "pops" maybe in 5 minutes.

By the way, on the same devices (with iOS 14.7.1) I have my old game C2 build (compiled somewhere in 2017) that still works fine without this issue.

I will create a bug report with this example file, but not sure how it can help...

update: bugreport github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/5063

Hi all! Have the same issue! Updated my project and while testing through iOS TestFlight found this issue on iPhone and iPad :( after some time (5+ minutes) sound starts to crackling and then becomes totally white noise! This is really sad, I using audio positioning and can't remove it from a game! Currently tested with WebM audio format of sounds.

I'm checked, Framerate mode - it's set to V-Synced, so it appears not only in Unlimited mode as Ashley said. Do you found any good workaround for this problem, AlexFrancois?

P.S.: Noted, that this problem is less significant while Remote Previewing on a device, but becomes significant in the compiled build (or it looks so). Sometimes it intensifies if changing volume with device buttons while playing.

Hello everyone!

For some time I was busy and didn't work on my project, now I returned and... Where is reload all images button in sprite editor with it's options (reload all frames in current animation and reload all frames in all animations)??? I have dozens of frames in dozens of animations and it's was handy to reload them after I re-render it, update source files e.t.c... I... I just can't continue my project without this! Please help! I remember that they disappear in web-version of construct but still was in standalone and now they disappear from there...(((((

That's not fun, really! I'm very disappointed by this!

Update: Did some researches and found that if now I save project as project folder - this buttons returned! Phew, I can continue work on project and it's not ruined! But if I save project as single file - they disappears...(( That was so handy to keep all project just in one file...

Update2: Wait, button is here, but it looks like it works incorrectly, I'm updating source sprite? pressing the button and it didn't updating it! If I load image manually by "load an image from file" - it updates, but then, when I pressing "reload image frome original source" - it returns it state from which sprite I last saved project...((

Looks like I need to bug report this. Also saving project as "project folder" takes very long time on hdd (to ssd - it's Ok)

Creating test case in a clear scene makes construct even crash!(

> I'm a desktop user, and I just tried to switch to the new method described in the first post (latest nwjs plus construct package). It loads OK, but after around 30 seconds the application just closes with no warning. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks.

me also facing this issue. I also just tried this new method and application just closes with no warning.

Same thing :( but even with non-sdk it stops working after a short period of time.

UPDATE: I downloaded older version of nwjs - nwjs-sdk-v0.44.6-win-x64 - and looks like it working Ok...

i tested runtime 2 and runtime 3 , for me runtime 2 is faster and uses less memory , any one has the same result ?

Yep, purchased recently C3 and was a litle bit disappointed after opening and converting my game to C3 runtime... While on my main PC (with good CPU and GPU) debugger shows much better results of performance with C3 runtime (fps is clamped 60), but on older PC's (I tested on 3 different old machines which runs with Win XP, Win 7 and Win 10) C2 runtime shows better or same real fps, but C3 runtime looks like use more memory. On my iPad Air C2 runtime shows about 30 fps and with C3 runtime about the same (iOS 11.4.1). Tested on iPhone 8 but can't say much about real fps because it's clamped with 60 in both cases.

Must to say another a bit sad thing - I can't even remote preview project on iPad Air with not optimized animations (cropped frames) it's just crashes on loading (with both runtimes), but in Construct 2 remote preview it can load and run it.

I noticed some minor strange bugs in c3 runtime like extra slow remote preview on devices (which connected over wi-fi in the same room) when on host machine ESET firewall is active; strange issue with different brightness in game and jiggling sprite animations when previewing in safari (only on devices, and with low or medium downscaling quality, before cropping animation action - after cropping frames this bug is goes away)... But i think this will be fixed in the bright feature of C3 runtime. ))

Sorry my english. Hope my info will help a bit in a developing C3, cheers!

P.S.: Oh, forgot about little difference in gamepad control in C3 - looks like actions which triggers by gamepad conditions "executes" after all other actions in event sheet, hard to say exactly it was a bit wierd... But I fixed this quickly by adding Wait 0 command before actual actions (like changing animation for a family with sprite objects) and reordering some actions. This doesn't happen in C2.

Update, yes this one was easy to recreate:

hmmm, checked this in C2 and it behave the same.... (variable sets to 1 only by pressing jump button on a keyboard, but remains 0 while jumping on gamepad from xbox)

P.P.S.: Noticed another funny bug (after opening c2 project in c3 with even c2runtime), on one of the layouts that uses Noise WebGl effect on one of it's layers with multiply effect - whole level (all layers below this one) was duplicated and mirrored in layout )))) I deleted Noise effect and add it again and all works fine after. It's more weird that same layer with noise was on another layouts but this bug was only on one of them))) -- experimenting more with this bug I found that it's repeated while I have effects order Noise then Multiply and no another effects after it and layer isn't transparent... drive.google.com/file/d/1R0--RlQrL_TMC2ij0I-sFsbgvndqRNli/view
