  On my windows 11 Laptop, if I run either the win32 or win64 files and try to enter full screen mode it just windows in the top left corner

  Did you set the resizable window option on export?

  fantastic thanks everyone!

  dop2000 when I used the action to set collision cell size to 10x10 it reduces the checks down from 125000 to 800. So it seems it does that cells help a lot to reduce checks!

  dop2000 thanks for testing too! Maybe we have to set the collision cell size first? Did you have an action doing that?

  Perhaps a manual entry could help to explain this concept.

  Thank you for clarifying that it's still a thing!

  I don't think I'm good at making performance tests, because when I tried doing it I get better performance when it was a subevent. 😅 So I'll just have to trust you.

  Over a decade ago in C2 there was a new thing called "collision cells", and in order to use them you had to have your "overlapping" condition be first in the top level event (not as a subevent).

  It can feel counterintuitive, because often we prefer to have other filtering conditions before doing something as expensive as a collision check. But apparently it was worth the trade off.

  I couldn't find anything about this in C3 manual, is this still the best practice?

  Here's the old blog post that explains the feature: construct.net/en/blogs/ashleys-blog-2/collision-cell-optimisation-914

  Good question! I recently discovered how to do this for my game.

  • I use Greengrinds addon for Steam.
  • I use the expression "Greengrinds.UILanguage" to load the appropriate translation project file.
  • It uses values on this page from the "API language code" column

    partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/localization/languages

  It works well, I changed the Steam interface to Korean, then tested my game and it changed the language.

  Good point.

  It's easy to do this with Ublock Origin too (which most people use anyway).

  Thejacs interesting that the newer versions of NWJS work at all for you, I think anything beyond version 71 gives a black screen for my game. So I'll have to stick with that.

  Personally I use nwjs 71, haven't tried the newest ones. It works fine for me on Deck, but I haven't actually got the game on Store yet.

  Did you read the guide for exporting game to Steam and Steam Deck?

  Made me remember the project setting "preload sounds".

  So I unticked that, and it made the startup about 50% faster! Since I have around 770 sfx files.

  Maybe I should preload the sounds over time during the main menu.

  But I'm actually not noticing any perceivable lag with that preload setting turned off!
