  • I'm using desktop C3 stable versions.

    As Ashley suggested, i have unchecked the "Enable UI animations" in the settings.

    It's 10 days already and i haven't encountered the gray out issue ever again.

    So, in my particular case, i can confirm that it works.

  • Just for the history, i'm gonna give a try to what Ashley sugested, since i'm affected.

    Menu - Setting - unchecked the Enable UI animations

    What have i spotted right away is that the "preparing project data..." popup for browser tab preview now hides before the game is launched. While with the Enable UI animations checked, it's left behind, so when i returned from the preview to the editor, i still had half a second to spot the text.

    Does Steam adds some layer of protection once we upload the game?

    You probably shouldn't worry too much about it really. If you are doing a relatively small indie game - noone would even care to steal any of your assets. I have a game on Steam since 2017 (and working on a second one now) and it has no protection. Can't see any parts of my game anywhere yet.

  • It's now sometimes happens on the desktop C3 version aswell.

    I just launch a browser tab preview, and when i get back to the editor it is sometimes greyed out and inactive. I have to press E (new event hotkey) and close it to get it back to life.

  • Here is a screenshot from an act 2 boss fight.

    I am moving forward, but keep forgetting to post the progress here :)

  • I carry on, yeah

  • "That doesn't make any sense, it's running the same code in the same browser engine."

    I agree. Since it's a toxic bug (with no solid steps to reproduce) and, as far as i can see, it only affects a limited number of users, my best bet is to wait for another stable release to properly retest it.

    Meanwhile, since i am unlucky enough to be affected, i will stick to any workaround that actually works, even if it makes no sense.

    My wild guess is that the editor can grey out or hang if there is a considerable ammount of events and objects in it. E.g. my current game is 4000+ events and 900+ objects.

    Anyways, i will get back to reproducing it with the next stable C3 version.

  • In addition to editor being greyed out after i do preview, it sometime fails to close the preview loading window. Making it impossible to save project if i hit preview before saving my recent changes.

    Still no steps to reproduce - it just happens from time to time.

    BUT

    I've tried to install C3 editor as a desktop app from chrome - and the greying out and hanging loading issues are gone. I consider it a workaround.

  • I still encounter it on pc, chrome.

    I has no reliant steps to reproduce, just somehow happens from time to time.

    And i am very dissapointed with it still being a thing for months.

  • Got an updated

    also added the link to the OP post.

    Have fun playing and let me know what you think :)

  • I have updated the first post with some fresh screenshots and a new gameplay trailer.

    Here's the trailer, to save you a click :)
