  • —ACCES-Mathieu If you modify the package.json file after exporting, please also provide the edited version. So far I can't notice anything special with the files.

    ACCES-Mathieu The only version I could find is the one released on the 12th August 2019 (v0.40.1), I will base the report on that. I still need more info.

    Any minimal project for reproduction would help. Since part of what you're reporting is a crash, could you please ask a user to zip up the folder called crashpad? I know it's probably something you'd like to avoid but there are no other options, unless you can provide something for reproduction. [%LOCALAPPDATA%\#PROJECT NAME#\User Data\CrashPad]

    A common point between them is that their Windows are not kept up to date.

    How outdated are the systems? The problems that come with outdated systems are usually not caused by the OS itself but by the drivers not being up to date. Most of them are included in the Windows Updater nowadays. Issues with the renderer (e.g. outdated graphics driver) should be inside the crashlog as well.

  • In my case, version 0.42.0 has not solved anything.

    The screen is now black when it was previously white but everything remains the same.

    The startup takes a long time while the screen remains black.

    Nothing has changed.

    Alright next step would be narrowing it down so I can do proper bug reports.

    Current issues:

    • Slow startup [V0.41+]
    • High CPU usage + Crashes on older Windows systems[?]

    ACCES-Mathieu — Please provide the version this started happening and try to narrow it down if you can. How old are systems you both are basing this on? Any minimal project to reproduce and providing your package.json* file would help.

    — Is it correct that this started with V.0.41? Could you also please provide your package.json* file for reproduction.

    (*See "Important Files & File Paths" to find it.)

  • Everyone that reported issues with NWjs and performance/bugs recently. The new version is out and available for both Construct's. Please test it and do a post if your problems have been fixed or are still there.

  • I've discovered that updating from 272 to 273 reduces performance with many SHADOW CASTING objects on screen.

    I'm asking someone else to reproduce the problem, confirm it, and possibly build a CAPX to show that to Ashley, as that's a major issue for me and i guess for some of you.

    If it's only happening in NWjs I could look into it, else it's kinda unrelated to this topic.

  • Found this info from Eren on how to revert to older desktop releases:

    Open "package.json" and edit "main" line

    (image here)

    I've written a small native App that does exactly that. You can try it out yourself if you like: construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/general-discussion-7/construct-3-desktop-simple-lau-139502

    In a week or two, I'm going to release an overhauled version with even more features like automatic updating and using custom release builds (e.g. for use after the official release builds have been deprecated). If you follow that topic you'll get a notification when it comes out, currently in testing.

  • There are probably loads of cases along the lines of "use keyboard to close something that you currently have a context menu open for". To be honest, given we have limited resources available for maintaining C2 I'm not sure it's worth spending that on tracking down all sorts of edge cases like this, versus more important issues.

    I guess this should be the last one then. These two are quite common in my opinion.

  • Description

    Construct 2 crashes when the right-click menu is being used in combination with a keyboard shortcut.

    (Using R273, it's still crashing with some menu's open.)

    Reproduction

    Layout right click:

    1. Open new project
    2. Right click on layout
    3. Press CTRL+W

    Event sheet right click:

    1. Open new project
    2. Right click on event sheet
    3. Press CTRL+W

    Old bug report:

    construct.net/en/forum/construct-2/closed-bugs-22/reliable-crash-using-kb-143297

    Tagged:

  • I tried to reproduce this multiple times in the most recent release but it doesn't seem to happen anymore. I guess this can be closed for now.

  • It all sounds like it's related to the previously mentioned issue. In conclusion, please wait for the next release coming in about a week.

    If the issue persists, I'll do a bug report.

  • I couldn't find a Theme section so I hope the Plugin SDK section is fine.

    I've recently started looking into creating custom themes again. From what I could gather, the editor loads icons in some sort of blob format.

    Would it be possible to expose this to allow the use of custom editor icons?

  • I am testing a project with a sprite object, nothing more.

    In the preview the white screen appears (NWjs 0.41).

    With the exported project and running the exported game, the white screen does not appear, however, the NWjs window is delayed much more in becoming visible.

    For example, in version 0.39 the execution is almost instantaneous but in 0.41 it takes between 5/10 seconds.

    Everything I've said above, has been using a project with a sprite object, nothing more.

    I guess I will do some more testing and report it to them. Didn't really focus on the window visibility.

    The next release is happening fairly soon. Might be a good idea to test again using that release. Unless this is really urgent, I'd just wait until it's out.

  • I could reproduce this with the version you used and the most recent one.

    Exporting the game seems to be fine though, so I'm not sure if this is C2 acting up or NWjs. Every version starting from NWjs v0.41.0 seems to be affected by this. Since I cannot just provide an exported project that fully works for reproduction I honestly don't know what to do. (I obviously can't just tell them to buy a C2 license for reproducing a specific bug either.)

    Best thing would be a bug report here so that Ashley can look into it. Again, it just affects previewing for me. If your results are different, include that info inside the bug report please.
