Check which event sheets all the layouts involved use. If a layout does not use an event sheet with a trigger on it, either directly or by event sheet includes, then that trigger won't fire.

It depends what enemies is in your code. If it's a family it won't work, because opacity is a property of object instances, not entire families.

I would advise taking the Learn JavaScript in Construct tutorial series, and in particular part 11 which covers this area.

Try turning off hardware acceleration in Chrome's settings.

I don't think it's possible to add an "On update not found" trigger, as if you work offline, it's not able to establish if there is an update available or not. I would suggest to just start the game normally and notify about an update if one is found.

If you look in the documentation, the getInstanceByUid() method is only available on runtime.

Browsers don't really support synchronous network requests. There is too high a chance that it would cause the page to hang and interrupt the user experience. (There is synchronous XHR but I am sure browser makers would get rid of it if the backwards compatibility wasn't such a problem.)

My advice is just do it asynchronously.

I'm afraid it's impossible to help without more information. If you run in to any problem with Construct please file an issue following all the guidelines, and please note we need all the requested information to be able to help.

That doesn't prove it's Construct's fault. It's entirely possible, and indeed has happened several times through my career, that changing from one valid set of code, to another valid set of code, causes the changed code to run in to a problem with a faulty graphics driver.

I've dealt with many such issues over my entire programming career spanning around 15 years. It's a graphics driver issue I'm afraid, and it's entirely possible for that to be the case after a Construct update, as graphics drivers can fail under essentially random circumstances. I think it should work if you disable hardware acceleration in Chrome settings, as that avoids using the broken graphics driver.
