  • Hi, this is really cool and exactly what I desperately need. I can't, however, install the version I want. After selecting the Custom older stable version I need, and after installing it, I always end up with the latest. Can you help me with this good sir?

    Cheers!

    EDIT: I found out I was using the launcher wrong, by bad! Thanks a million for it!

  • Perhaps I missed it:

    Does the Launcher retain CTRL+F-like search functionality, the search that extends over-top of the engine's search? Doesn't seem to work for me.

    Does the launcher retain Ctrl+R-like functionality of refreshing the preview window?

    You seem to be talking about NWjs itself and not the launcher. Browser feature support is fully up to them. The launcher just keeps NWjs up to date and launches selected release versions of Construct 3.

  • Indeed I was, thanks, so it appears they don't, else it's a problem on just my end.

  • Construct 3 - Launcher V2.2.0 Released!

    This is the last major update. It adds an option to select custom NWjs release build versions. Making it possible to up/down-grade or stay with a specific version of NWjs. The old custom NWjs release build is now the default release build and can be one-click updated.

    The entire update system is now fully automated and runs its own versioning database (service provided by armaldio).

  • Hi! Would it be possible to get a Linux port of this or would that be too much of a hassle?

    Sorry I can't. The engine I used to make this only supports Windows.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • This is GREAT! the launcher is very user-friendly, clean and simple!

    Thank you for this great tool for people who prefer using the desktop version such as myself.

    Suggestion / request:

    Is it possible to make a "check" option for people who like it to create a shortcut on the desktop with the C3 icon? that will be SUPER!

    For now, I do it manually but the icon is NW.js... C3 shortcut will be perfect.

    Thanks ahead!

    I checked but it doesn't seem to be possible within the engine itself. I'd really like to avoid including a batch script just for this edge case.

    Ideally you should always use the launcher to launch C3.
