    Thanks for the details —

    Layouts might be a "part" of the problem, but not the problem itself. We will need Ashley to confirm. But I have very few layouts and I hit this issue. In the example CAPX, there is only 1-2 layouts. My current project with the issue has 10 layouts.

    About that... I double checked and I confirmed that the layout count doesn't significantly affect the performance. It's the actual objects themselves. I'm sorry about the confusion.

    As the object count increases, the dialog delay increases.

    Although now I just found a little workaround or possibly even the fix for Windows 10 users having unjustifiable difference in performance with other Windows OS versions. Updating the Graphics Card and NViDiA video cards help for those who installed the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

    The NViDiA drivers and Intel Graphics Cards don't work at their optimum level after the Windows Update without updating the drivers manually.

    It seems like Windows 10 see them as incompatible.

    The update reduced the delay from (30 seconds to crashing) to (5 to 20 seconds) increasing the performance of the (Hardware - OS) to compensate for the original problem.

    Compared to my Windows 8.1 PC, it is in margin of error, equal in performance now.

    With that said, that was only a possible fix for Windows 10 problems not matching performance with other OS.

    The original problem is still there. C2 just can't handle that many objects optimally.

    I still have the 5+ seconds delay for every dialog popup like everyone else!

    I confirm this.

    Dialogs Boxes takes up to 10 ~ 30 seconds to pop up and sometimes even fails. At this point, the whole program gets weird.

    This is very annoying.

    With my current computer specs, it's impossible to be a hardware problem.

    And my PC operating system runs very well too. I do 3D and Video creations with this laptop. And never had a problem.

    I do admit that I have a lot of objects in my C2 project. But it's nowhere near 10,000, so it's unlikely that is the case. With that said, the bigger the project becomes the slower Construct 2 gets. Construct 2 / Windows, 10,000 object limit.

    I have tried moving my project to another computer with inferior specs and have observed that the computer works as bad but slightly better than my stronger PC with a dedicated GPU, better RAM and a 7th Gen i7 CPU.

    It seems as if it wasn't even using the resources available from my computer.

    Ashley this is a very dire situation for us who invested time and trust to use the program you have created to create our projects but it can't even keep up with the pace unlike advertised.

    My main specs:

    Asus ROG GL553VD

    Processor: Intel Core i7-7700HQ (Intel Core i7)

    Dedicated GPU : GTX 1050

    Graphics Card: Intel HD 630

    Memory: 8GB , DDR4-2400

    Display: 15.6 inch 16:9, 1920 x 1080 pixel 141 PPI, No, BOE HF NV156FHM-N43, IPS,

    Storage: 128 GB , 1000HDD (Construct 2 has always been in the SSD)

    OS: Windows 10

    Normally, memory usage would be less than 10 percent.

    CPU usage at peak less than 5 percent and Dedicated GPU usage would be 0 percent but as

    you can see I have a lot of programs opened including numerous (~15) chrome tabs on youtube and VLC playing

    a movie in an external monitor.

    All working quite fast except Construct 2.

    Other PC:

    Acer Aspire Switch 12

    Processor: Intel Core M 5Y10c

    Ram: 4GB

    Graphics Card: Intel HD 5300

    SSD: 120GB

    Display Size: 12.5" 1920 X 1080

    OS: Windows 8.1

    Surprisingly, it works better in Windows 8.1 and non-dedicated GPUs. But it is still very slow and sluggish.

    My project contains:

    • <,> or = 500 objects in the project. Not exceeding 1000.
    • 300 to 500 layouts.
    • 50 event sheets.
    • Less than 30 families. (Stopped using families after encountering problems with loading them in the dialog, which we all confirmed and reported)
    • 19000 to 20,000 UID instances
    • Contains Spriter SCMLs and XMLs

    Ashley please investigate this. We will gladly provide you with data you request as soon as you start the task to find out the culprit of this problem.

    This might help C3 in the future as well.

    Thanks, Scirra Team.

  • I'm having this exact problem too, it's been really frustrating me for a few years, would really like it if the solution was figured out.

    I'm having the problem where sometimes when I try to drag selected objects with the mouse, they don't drag in the way I intended (hard to explain, but they like jump around and stuff), and the dragged objects often get moved to another layer when I try to drag them, as well as often changing the active layer.

    In other cases, the active layer just seems to randomly change, may or may not be related to the above.

    I don't know if our problem is related but this bug was already fixed last year. Although, I suggest you check out my bug report and test if this is the cause of your problem or at the very least you can use this as a reference to come up a way to debug your own problem.

  • Problem Description

    The Longer the Object the more inaccurate the mouse selection becomes. This is noticeable when an object reaches 10,000+ pixels of length. The Mouse Hitbox tends to become inaccurate unlike it's drawn canvas. And unable to keep up with the canvas.

    Tested Objects:

    Tiledbackground : Affected;

    Sprites : Affected;

    I only tested two plugins. But I'm sure it's the same for all drawn objects.

    Even though it's already noticable when an object reaches 10,000+ pixels of length, I still set the length to 111,000+ to enhance the effect.

    Construct 3 is not affected.

    Attach a Capx

    https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjcW2ueud6qp6nsJz1Nr91dXEfd8

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    It's easy to reproduce the bug.

    Just try your best to select either the TiledBackground or the Sprite. Especially at the X-axis end point of the target object.

    You will find it difficult to select the 2 objects.

    Observed Result

    The objects can't be selected.

    Expected Result

    The objects should be selected.

    Operating System and Service Pack

    Windows 10 64-bit.

    Construct 2 Version ID

    Construct 2 r246 Beta Release

    I suggest posting this on C3's bug section too for immediate action. Scirra doesn't really prioritize Construct 2 bugs as much as Construct 3 bugs.

    Instructions are stated here by Ashley :

    You can also just redirect this bug report to your C3 bug report too so that Ashley can read this thread too.

    I also agree that this is a bug, but I still think the bounce effect shouldn't be removed. Just have a boolean to enable/disable this feature.

    This is very useful in high speed 8-direction movements. You'll get what I mean when you set the "Max Speed" to about 5000+ and "Acceleration" to about 2000+.

    Think about this as an additional feature. We don't want other old/in-production games that take advantage of this feature to get broken.

    I'm not sure if it's feasible but new conditions like "Is collision-bouncing" and "collision-bounce enabled/disabled" would be nice.

    And a "set collision-bounce enabled/disabled" action too.

  • Hi guys I would love to have an update page in my game where ajax pulls information from a webpage in to the game how do I do this? The webpage is here http://bedfordgamesupdate.bitballoon.com/

    Here is the tutorial in using the AJAX plugin.

    Although for the backend part of your website, you would need knowledge on PHP for that. Depending on the purpose, you could also use xmlhttprequest. And also a bit knowledge about javascript.

    But I assume you already know that since you are developing a website.

  • This is amazing. Thank You.

  • —

    Firebase series plugins are already in TODO list, and I also plan to remove api v2.x supporting (now is api v4.3).

    That's good news. Thanks rexrainbow

  • ThePhotons - Please also convert your Photon plugins to support C3.

  • rexrainbow - Please also convert your firebase plugins. It's the only stable backend we've got.
