  — - server-based is a subset of P2P. The server is just a special type of peer.

  Since you use the Multiply effect it requires WebGL support to display. If your graphics card driver is out of date, it may be blacklisted and not support WebGL. Check it's up to date. It could be the cause of other display issues too.

  Web games auto-update by themselves so you shouldn't have to make your own updater. More in this tutorial: https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/70/offline-games-in-construct-2

  Construct 2 games don't try to scroll the page. Are you sure it's not your own page doing it?

  It uses the whole Chromium browser engine so it does add a few MB. I don't think that can be changed. Larger games will probably eclipse that size with their own assets, and for smaller games, why not just publish to the web?

  It's a known issue and there's no clear solution short of disabling framerate independence, which brings its own issues. The best solution is not to make jumps which can only be achieved by a very close margin - give it a short extra distance so even small variations in the jump height don't affect whether the jump can be made or not.

  We haven't changed the encoder for a long, long time so even if you downgrade I assume it will work identically. Did you get Windows 8 N or one of the variants without media features? If so, it'll be missing the ability to encode AAC. You'll have to find your own encoder in that case, encode the .wavs yourself, then just import the .m4a files in to Construct 2.

  You can't, you would need to make much deeper changes to the engine. Also these wrappers which aren't real browsers tend to be riddled with annoying compatibility problems. You're much better off using a real browser engine like Crosswalk.

  This issue is always caused by broken graphics card drivers. Double-check you have the latest drivers available - check directly from the manufacturer.

  Can't reproduce, imports OK on Windows 8.1 here, but doesn't encode the .ogg variant. The .wav file has an unusual sample rate (11025 Hz), try upsampling it to 44.1k or something more common that the encoders might be able to deal with.

  cf_none means no flag. cf_fast_trigger is a special variant of triggers that are designed specifically for and only useful for the Function object, so are not documented.

  We can't fix this I'm afraid, we don't have any control over the audio encoders so can't fix any issues with them.

  The .wav is extremely short, and I think the AAC encoder might have trouble if it does not reach a minimum length. Try padding it with silence and importing again.

  I can't reproduce either issue, everything works fine here. Since your screenshots show display issues, I'd think this is caused by your graphics card driver, not Construct 2. Is the driver up to date?

  If you find it is slower with collision cells, please post a .capx demonstrating that with your FPS/performance details for each build. We can't help otherwise, and the majority of users say there is a big improvement.

  Oops, I think it shipped a build too early (with the .2 release). Should work from the next build.
