  The video encode formats depend on the browser, and you can see which are supported in the About dialog of Construct. Note browsers support different encode formats to decode formats - for example Chrome can decode MP4 but only supports encoding WebM. The default "Auto" option is a good default as it will use a format that works, and if you manually change it to an option that is not supported it will not work. You can also try recording a WebM video and use external video tools to transcode it to MP4.

  You can load any previous version on the releases page.

  The linked issue remains open, which implies Google know there is still work to be done on it.

  It looks like it might be a corrupt project. It's difficult to offer any more help from just this information - if you think there's a problem with Construct please file an issue following all the guidelines, as we need all that information to be able to help.

  It's not clear to me whether we're talking about the Animations Editor or Drawing Canvas here. Construct 2 had no Drawing Canvas, so I guess you must be talking about the Animations Editor?

  I'm sure we already configure everything on the JavaScript side to be as low latency as possible without risking glitching audio. There must be something in the Chromium engine that's not using the lowest possible latency, but that's up to Google, and why that issue was filed.

  You should only add the event listener once. I can't see from the screenshot whether the event blocks do that. It would probably be best to add it in a script file, because even if it's under 'On start of layout', it could still add the listener multiple times if you keep revisiting the layout.

  The differences are documented in the manual: see scripts in event sheets and script files.

  It's the Chromium browser engine that needs to be updated, not just Android. The work appears to be tracked in this issue which mentions moving Chromium to Oboe.

  Adding a script file with the original code should work. Listening for the "message" event on window is the correct approach.

  You can write as much text as you like in comments in event sheets (including with BBcode formatting). Alternatively you could add a plain text file as a project file.

  If your game is under 5mb (since it seems you said loading a 2mb spritesheet loaded 70% of the game), maybe you don't need a loader layout at all. It's most appropriate for very large games only. These days the average web page size is something like 2-3mb, so if your game is in that ballpark, it will load as quickly as a normal web page.

  Thanks for the feedback! For what it's worth we recently made an update that automatically sets the right icons for Windows and macOS exports, so you don't need Resource Hacker for Construct any more either. JavaScript is also a far more capable language than GML. Also, even if you make an idle game, it should not stay active running in the background - this is a common design mistake, it will only waste battery life. Instead it should fully go to sleep, saving system resources and battery, and when it wakes up, you can calculate how much time has gone past and instantly simulate that much time passing.

  I think this is a bug we already fixed. Try the latest beta.
