  • It looks like a bug in the NW.js 0.27 update. I don't think we can work around this, but hopefully it's straightforward and the next NW.js update can fix this. Filed an issue here: https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues/6321

  • Thanks for the report, I hope this will be backported to all older versions as well.

  • Try Construct 3

  • As far as I'm aware, only NW.js 0.27 is affected, and the issue is in NW.js itself so we don't need to change C2 when it's fixed, just issue a new NW.js update.

  • Does this mean that nwjs 0.27 will be dropped from the list? By backporting I basically meant backported into that specific version.

    (Nevermind you've already asked the question, will subscribe and wait for their response.)

  • Uninstalled 0.27.0 and used v0.26.0 and all is good.

  • Just released NW.js 0.27.2 which should fix this. Can you confirm?

  • Just released NW.js 0.27.2 which should fix this. Can you confirm?

    Yep everything is alright now, preview works as intended. This bugreport can be closed.

    If this didn't get backported into v0.27.0, I'd recommend removing it from the downloads page.

    Would make things easier for people that don't know about this issue. Thanks for doing all the reporting work!
