General enquiry

Hello everyone

I am working on a pretty big project and for the best safety ,i save my project in cloud besides offline storage.But i have a little bit slow internet so it takes a good amount of time

My doubt is,when my project is getting saved online(loading is going on at left-bottom side of construct 3),can i simultaneously work on my project(there is a fear in my mind that in between the uploading if i edit my project,it would get corrupt )

Ashley ,can you help me ?

like,something else was to be uploaded and suddenly something was edited at the crucial moment

Yes, you can work on your project while cloud save uploads. Have you tried it?

No

After doing a good amount of work, I apply for online save and then I wait till it does not get completed

Thanks for answering the question

I'm going to seriously recommend you set automatic backups to the browser as well. I work on two different computers and save to the cloud as well. Yesterday, both failed to download and run my project. Fortunately, I went to the one I worked on last and loaded the local backup and only lost a couple lines of code.

There can never be enough backups!

Just as a note: Google Drive saves up to 100 versions of files for 30 days. So if your newest version fails, you can also try to go back to a different version. It makes a new version for every save.

Fengist brother, how to set up automatic backup in browser???

It's in the main menu under settings, save & backup / periodically back up active project. You can set it to backup to the cloud but, like you, it takes a good while to back mine up so I tell it to backup to the browser every 10 minutes which is much faster.

Do you have any ideas on how to auto-backup a multiplayer game?

I often work with 2 tabs, one for the host and one for the peer. Sometimes I'm only working on peer-side stuff so I leave the host running while I run lots of previews on the peer. The problem is with auto-backup the old host version will auto-backup and overwrite my changes I'm making to the peer tab

In the latest version of Construct you can run multiple previews from one editor so you don't need to have two editors running.

Woops, Ashley beat me to it.

Run the first instance by running preview. Then, hold ALT and run a second preview.

And I want to also ask a simple question

I have noticed in many places, like github and on the forms too, that users talk about updating to a particular version. How to do that too???

What I normally do

I open construct3.com,click on launch construct 3 and jump on my work. I never got any message regarding any updates

If you launch C3 through the browser like you do, it runs the latest version. We've been talking about when it gets installed as an app on your desktop.
