The Big NW.js Roundup - News & Tips

If you added the js flags property (not Chromium Args), execute the collection during loading screens and similar (can take a sec or two depending on memory usage). Keep in mind that you need to unload audio first, in order to forcefully release it from memory. Use the example and the Windows task manager to see if it works.

I can't reproduce the icon issue anymore. Could you upload a project for reproduction. I will check it out later.

FYI I've just released NW.js 0.42.4 for C2 & C3, which includes the new NW2 as default and the fix for faster startup time. There may be a couple more bugs associated with NW2 to flush out, but hopefully we can make sure everything is working smoothly by 0.43.0.

The icon bug doesn't happen with 0.42.4, because NW2 isn't really enabled for me, while in 0.42.5 (nightly build) is.

Thanks for the GC thingy, worked :)

Are you sure this isn't caused by a faulty app icon or ResHack?

You still didn't upload anything for me to test on my end.

Not using ResHack,

I'll upload a test project after work!

Windows caches icons pretty aggressively so that might be a reason you're seeing an old icon. Try renaming the executable file to something different.

There has been a NW2 related fix for icons again. Seems like mainly Win10 systems were affected, that's probably why it worked fine on my end.

Here is the issue (already fixed): github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues/7236

I confirm it's fixed now :D

Construct games have always completely suspended themselves when minimized. When they suspend it stops using requestAnimationFrame at all, so I don't think there is any relevance to that.

Hi NWJS team,

as you guys probably know, the advantage of using NWJS is that we can easily create apps for both Windows and MacOS which are the two leading OS in the world.

It is for me the only way to distribute my apps to 95% of the computer users.

Now I'm really stressed by the way things are going to happen on Mac in a near future :

MacOS Catalina is here and it is even more restrictive than older versions about the apps.

Apple told that all Software should be notarized to be readable on MacOS if the app is not distributed through the Mac App Store.

I have 2 questions about this :

1. Is it possible to distribute Construct products on the Mac App Store ? If yes, where can I find the guide to do this ?
2. If not, is it possible to notarize Construct products ? If yes, where can I find the guide to do this ?

See the tutorial Exporting desktop apps with NW.js which briefly covers notarization. In short, you'll need to refer to Apple's documentation.
