Hi Ashley,

Thanks for responding. I been getting this error too frequently these days. I am proactively savng my files as new version every few hours.

Please let me know which requirement I need to fulfill. Attaching a CAPX would not help becuase its happening with all my projects.

I have posted multiple screenshots of the error messages I got, there is no way I can reproduce the error because it happens at random times.

You are a genius! Why aren't pro tips like this not highlighted by Scirra?

Even I was struggling with Anchors, the tried tweaking the positions. Lost my nerve when I had to do it for 100s of objects

I see you online, hence tagging u here. Have you tried this Facebook share Plugin? Does it work on Android and iOS?

I have made three updates t this post along with screenshots. Again, I am unable to say at what moment this starts happening. But I will keep close watch now

zenox98 Ia m sorry, I have no clue how this happened!!

The submit failed few times (the usually "Out of resource" message, and it takes me to your hosting site),

I just pressed refresh. I must have done it couple of times without knowing its already posted.

Please delete the rest and keep this one only, because I found the issue and have mentioned the possible cause too.

Its a very rare and random issue that hasnt occurred in 2 years of my usage of C2. I will try to keep track if it occurs again

HALLELUJAH.PRAISE BE TO GOD

UPDATE#1:

I noticed that there was a backup file ( HPNV2.capx.capx.backup1) made at 4:00AM (few moments before I went to sleep, yes that how much work I did on this). I renamed it to .capx, and found all my lost progress! Thank God!!

So now its clear that when I reopen the project the next day, its somehow replace save from the AutoSave file('HPNV2.capx.capx.autosave' saved at 11:00PM, previous night)! I am not sure how to reproduce this error.

ORIGINAL POST

Problem Description

I been using C2 for 2 or more years and never had this issue. I am working on a new game, I work all day so keep my C2 project open and keep saving my game every now and then. When I put my laptop to sleep/shutdown and start the next day, all my changes are GONE!!! I mean, several hours of work just disappeared. Initially I thought its a one time thing, but then It happened again today morning! All my work from yesterday is gone! How can this be possible?

Are you guys replacing OLD AUTO SAVE FILES into latest saved file?

Please look into it.. I feel like giving up.

I also periodically get this strange error message. I have never seem this before

UPDATE #2

Here is a new Error message I got

UPDATE #3

After a while, C2 is saving my project as .autosave instead of .capx! My original project file hasnt been saved for several hours, instead its been saving it

HPNV4.capx.capx.autosave. See screenshot

Thank you for your plugin and article!) But you right, I also have a low fill rate in my games, unfortunately this is a problem for all developers who use Microsoft Ads. I hoped that with the appearance of interstitial banners and mediation something will change, but the fill rate is still bad.

It would be cool to use ads from Adduplex and video ads from Vungle they have a good fill rate and their SDK is recommended by Microsoft, but unfortunately they do not support winjs

I think in such conditions it makes sense to do only paid games without ads for Windows using Construct2.

I agree, and the funny part is MS is collaborating with few Ad networks and mediating ads automatically. Still their still rates are bad.

I m considering switching to Paid app as well.

Thanks man!

The article is up:

https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/9555/p ... titial-ads

Please note that my inspite of having 1000s of Ad request the fill rate for MS Ads is below 0.5%!!!! Its very bad, I contacted support and they have no clue what to do. They openly admitting that they got no advertisers <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">

Hi SamRock

I'm trying to install on the PC with windows 10. On game page there is no "install" button only it is written that the "game is no longer available". I am in Russia, maybe you not distribute the game to Russia?

Thank you for bringing this to my notice. I used teh defalt setting to publish my game and never knew Russia was excluded. Now I submited again with Russia selected. Could you please check if you able to install it now?

Today I am drafting an article on using the new Plugin I modified. Should be update in few hours.
