Notes

A few issues and regressions came up with the r458 release, and this release aims to correct those. In particular we largely rewrote the text layout engine for better performance but it had a couple of edge cases that needed sorting out, and due to a rather complicated issue with the way Construct is built, the left arrow key stopped working in r458. It should be back to normal now!

There have been some reports of Layout View glitches that we could not reproduce in r458. The main change to rendering in that release is that WebGPU (a more modern graphics technology) is now enabled by default for both the editor and runtime, whereas previously it used the older WebGL. It is possible some systems have graphics driver bugs that cause problems with WebGPU only. If you are having trouble with rendering glitches in the Layout View, try checking for any available system software updates or for a graphics driver update. Otherwise, you can disable WebGPU for the editor in Settings, and for your project in Project Properties. If you consistently see the same rendering issue with WebGPU across different devices, please do still file an issue with us, as it may then be an issue with Construct itself.

In case you missed it, see the r458 release notes here which summarizes the main improvements in this stable release, as well as some compatibility news.
