  • Ow... It seems the "old" projects with objects using an instVar named "tags" are not openning anymore. =(

  • Wow, great timing! Lovely, gonna try the signals today!

  • Looking forward to exploring and learning the new features! Thanks for the amazing work Scirra team!

  • A lot of amazing additions in this release, thanks!

  • Wow, hierarchy editing is going to be really useful. s2

  • I'm going be real I don't even know how to use any of this stuff

  • Hello,

    I ve seen a message about iphones issues.

    Same issue here with the new stable release, when i remote preview my project it keeps a black screen now.

    I've pushed a HTML5 build to test and that's the same.

    I opened the same project in 397.2 and it worked well.

    I ll make more test to be sure it s not on my side before making a report

  • How many iOS phones now don't support this release? First I checked on my phone and the game didn't work. Then I checked on browserstack and out of 15 options, even an empty project opened only on the two most recent versions of the iphone. Why?

  • Please add a negative height for 3d objects

  • Very bad, my project stops loading in editor((

    "Failed to open project. Check it is a valid Construct 3 single-file (.c3p) project."

    A bit older project backups that 100% opens in r397.2, are also failed to load now.

      Send your project to supportasn@construct.net and we'll take a look. Note most such recent cases have been due to an issue this guide covers.

      • I figured it out, looked in the console and saw the error when opening: “Error: name ‘Tags’ already in objects class ‘Icon_Sound’ namespace”

        I opened the project in the previous version, renamed this Instance variable 'Tags' in the sprite to 'STags' and saved it and the project opened in the new version. Probably the variable 'Tags' is reserved and cannot be used now (I created a blank project, created a sprite and tried to add a variable named "Tags" - and got an error that such a variable is already used)...
