Problem with Mac export using NW.JS

Hi guys,

My game runs perfectly on PC, but the Mac version (same NW.js export) has a big bug : the game doesn't even pass the loading layout.

One of the testers gave me thir error message :

Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 io.nwjs.nw.framework 0x000000010f90b561 0x10f41f000 + 5162337 1 io.nwjs.nw.framework 0x000000010f9245f7 0x10f41f000 + 5264887 2 io.nwjs.nw.framework 0x000000010f92484d 0x10f41f000 + 5265485 3 io.nwjs.nw.framework 0x0000000113d31312 0x10f41f000 + 76620562 4 io.nwjs.nw.framework 0x0000000113d30252 0x10f41f000 + 76616274 5 io.nwjs.nw.framework 0x000000010f8f4af9 0x10f41f000 + 5069561 6 io.nwjs.nw.framework 0x000000010f8f0896 0x10f41f000 + 5052566 7 io.nwjs.nw.framework 0x000000010f422127 0x10f41f000 + 12583 8 io.nwjs.nw.framework 0x000000010f422391 0x10f41f000 + 13201 9 io.nwjs.nw.framework 0x000000010f8c0fbf 0x10f41f000 + 4857791 10 io.nwjs.nw.framework 0x000000010f8c07de 0x10f41f000 + 4855774 11 io.nwjs.nw.framework 0x000000010f421992 ChromeMain + 66 12 io.nwjs.nw 0x000000010f1bad52 main + 530 13 io.nwjs.nw 0x000000010f1bab34 0x10f1ba000 + 2868

If you want to try the Mac build for yourself, here is the link.

Any idea of what it could be, or should I put an entry in the bugs forum?

Thanks!

I read on the forums that the MAC export has been broken for quite a while now. I'm not sure that this is still the case though.

Thanks for replying. I read that somewhere too, that's why I announced my game for PC only at first. :/

Any news on the Mac export with NW.js? Is it supposed to be working?

Hmm... no error for me (OS X 10.11.4), but it never seems to finish loading. The loading bar seems to just stop after the guy runs off screen.

Thanks for the report. I have the same experience as you. :-/

We solved all our Mac export problems by following these steps:

Use Construct r216 for Mac export nw.js 0.10.5 "--file-descriptor-limit<10000>" and "--ignore-gpu-blacklist" arguments added to package.json No transparent PNGs in the game

in runtime.js after export (non minified)

replace:

img_.onerror = function (e)

{

img_.c2error = true;

anyImageHadError = true;

if (console && console.error)

console.error("Error loading image '" + img_.src + "': ", e);

};

if (this.isEjecta)

with:

img_.onerror = function (e)

{

if(img_.try===3){

img_.c2error = true;

anyImageHadError = true;

if (console && console.error)

console.error("Error loading image '" + img_.src + "': ", e);

} else {

img_.src='';

if(img_.try===undefined) img_.try=0;

setTimeout(function(){

img_.try++;

img_.src=src_;

},50);

}

};

if (this.isEjecta)

Read these threads for more info:

If this can be fixed with a workaround from our side, then it might be a good idea to file a bug report to Scirra.

Thanks a lot for the solution StaticCloud , I will create a bug report in the bug forums.

What do you mean by "No transparent PNGs in the game" ?

There should be no transparent PNGs in the game? I guess I misunderstand you, as most games are using transparent PNGs.
