  TheRealDannyyy I removed that line " --in-process-gpu" at the end of my package.json file? (I added in because the Steam4c2 plugin by AJ2DI suggested to add it in.) Hopefully my players will stop having issue now! thanks

  Unfortunately the Dialog setting gives a lower frame rate, for a reason that I don't think has been explained, so I can't use it.

  When I preview my game with popup window, it shows this address bar every time, which causes it to shrink the game resolution and put black bars on the side, and is unneccessary to see anyway. Since Scirra say they can't change this because of Chrome, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any plugins or such to hide the address bar?

  Thanks for the plugin, I'll wait till it supports NWjs v0.24 before buying it though.

  Thanks!

  At least one of my players is getting the error now, even though it doesn't do it for me anymore, do you know if I have to get them to delete the NWjs folder as well? I wonder if I have to rename the game so it has a different folder name, and doesn't use save files from the newer NWJS (.../appdata/local/gamename).

  I installed the latest NWjs but then installed the older NW.js: 0.19.4 so that I could use Greenworks plugin. When I open the game this error pops up then the game runs, with this error message present in the background. What does it mean?

  It needs more of everything. At least during this beta period, so that you have potentially more people reporting bugs, so that the burden isn't on the paid users doing all the bug reporting work.

  There are multiple preview settings: popup window, browser tab, dialog.

  Are there much differences between them?

  • I had been using the dialog option, as the gamepad works with it and it was quick to use, but now that I've started adding in more graphics the FPS has started to drop significantly compared to the other options?

  • The popup window is okay, but the gamepad doesn't work though it does with Dialog or NWjs export?

  And for some reason has this annoying bar showing, to make space for this it messes up the game resolution by shrinking it.

  • Browser tab is not even worth considering since browsers are bloated with toolbars, bookmarks, switching back and forth with C3 desktop app is a hasle etc.

  Currently C2's NWjs option beats all of C3's options!

  Yes, here is the C3 version.

  But it is not worked in current r42.2. All 3 party addons are not worked in r42.2.

  Thank you!

  The Next Penelope in particular had some issues with using too much fillrate early on, but Aurelien made some game design changes to reduce excessive layers, effects etc. and then it fit much better within GPU hardware limitations.

  Has there been more details about this posted somewhere? I'd be keen to learn from their mistakes so I don't repeat them, incase they've encountered things I hadn't thought about. Obviously you've clarified to avoid using "force own texture" at least, and to minimize effects as often as possible, but what's meant by excessive layers is unclear.
