How do I open project in background?

I have a larger project that takes a while to open.

I want to do other things while the project is opening, like often do with other game engines (Unity, Godot). But when I go back to Construct window, the opening process was paused and continues only on focus.

Is this some browser setting somewhere or am I missing something in C3 settings?

Have you tried saving the project not in a folder, but as a single file?

When the project is in a folder, opening and saving takes much longer due to repeated disk access.

I won’t say anything else because I haven’t had any such large projects to test.

Folder projects should actually be faster to open and save than single-file projects. They don't need to decompress/compress data to a ZIP, and saving can overwrite just a few changed files, rather than regenerating the entire project every time.

I think sometimes browsers suspend pages in the background to prevent them wasting resources. It might be doing that but unintentionally also pausing any work Construct is doing. Perhaps there is a browser setting that can adjust it.

Don't know if this is helpful for you. I use it with Edge.

Thanks! This should work, but I am not sure what address should I use..? Is it "editor.construct.net", project path or what? "editor.construct.net" did not work.

That is what I use and I also use it as an app.

After your post I tested it myself. It seems that this setting has no effect at all.

What I discover is that if you switch to another program with alt-tab it loads in the background sometimes, sometimes not. But what works for me, and this is the reason I thought the setting works, if your program you switch to is in window mode not fullscreen and you can see a little bit of construct in the background it loads the project in the background.

I used to open Thunderbird if I load a project in the background and that is not fullscreen. I have no clue if that works for you but it seems it works for me.
