  Closing as not a bug. You have chosen a cell size of 1, which means it must do the most extraordinarily huge amount of processing to find paths. Don't use such a small cell size.

  What is Construct 2's estimated memory use for the project? If it's way over, spritesheeting won't help.

  Closing as not a bug:

  • everything happens within one collision cell, so the collision checks cannot be further reduced
  • you have set a custom collision poly on the tile. This means the tilemap object cannot optimise any of the collision checks and is forced to run tile-by-tile collision checks. You have around 100 tiles, so every collision test must run 100 checks, whereas without a custom poly it could check just 9 rectangles.

  Turn off the custom poly and it does 10 times fewer checks. Don't use custom polys where you don't need them!

  Closing as by design. If you don't want it to retain speed and acceleration, add the 'Stop' action after enabling 8 direction.

  Thanks, I eventually tracked this down to a bug in the WebGL renderer. It should be fixed for the next build.

  Closing as this is actually by design, that 'Stop Flashing' makes the object visible again. Workaround: just move the 'set invisible' action to after the 'stop flashing' action.

  Ah - looks like a blending problem with text in WebGL mode. I think I've found the problem and corrected it for the next build. Good catch.

  puffstream - because graphics drivers can be buggy and cause programs to crash. This *exact* issue has been reported and fixed many many times over in the past by users updating their drivers.

  Closing as not a bug. Most keyboards cannot reliably detect three simultaneous key presses. This is a hardware limitation and is nothing to do with Construct 2 or HTML5.

  Chrome and Firefox are both high-quality and robust browsers that work well for the vast majority of users. If both browsers are problematic, maybe there's some general problem with your computer itself? Is the problem the same on other computers?

  No, it wouldn't - it exports once and then just applies wrappers to the same data. 30 minutes is really an extraordinary amount of time, especially considering key parts of the export process can use multicore processors. You must have an ultra-huge project or a super-slow computer! Try skipping image recompression.

  Sounds like a known bug that is already fixed in the next build.

  There isn't a root web folder. It draws files from various places on disk, to avoid having to copy them and thus making previewing faster. Why would you need to access the web folder anyway?

  liaeb - is that with WebGL support? Nice to see the results are pretty close.

  If you're making linear comparisons, you shouldn't be, because they don't respect the cyclical nature of angles. You should stick to the angle-specific conditions like 'Is within angle'.
