  There is really nothing we can do without steps to reproduce. The project is already corrupt and tells us nothing other than the file is missing. We need to know how the file went missing in the first place.

  You probably didn't install the plugin correctly, or installed the wrong version. Please take this up with the plugin developer, we cannot support third party plugins.

  Can't reproduce, works just fine here. Check your driver really is up to date, especially if you have a laptop with dual GPU (in which case you need both drivers up to date).

  This is currently by design: containers don't have any effect when referenced through families. This is mainly due to the complexity, and possible performance cost, that could come from supporting this. There are a few ways to work around it using IIDs or UIDs, hopefully you can get by with that. I'll leave this bug report open though to indicate a known issue.

  kmsravindra - closing this issue. If you have a different issue to the one reported in this thread, please post a new bug report following all the same guidelines again, we need all that information to be able to help.

  The display glitch in the first screenshot strongly suggests a graphics card driver bug. I'd suggest reporting the issue to AMD.

  I think I've fixed this for the next build. The culprit is actually the 'Spawn' action, which gets loaded with an invalid state sometimes. A workaround for current builds: replace it with system 'Create object' and it works.

  Well done for figuring out how to use dev tools in your browser. Closed!

  iOS 7 removed the ability to hide the address bar, and accordingly we removed the option from Construct 2 (the code is a horrible hack anyway which Apple appear to never have wanted to support in the first place).

  iOS 7.1 adds an official new option to show minimal UI, which we're already applying automatically in the latest build, so when that comes out it should be solved.

  Collision cells, by their design, should not affect the number of poly checks. If you find it changes it's hard to comment further without a .capx.

  Asm.js physics should be considerably faster. If it doesn't work, post a bug report.

  It makes no difference - either way you have the same number of images. For the things that are actually important to memory use, see the blog post: remember not to waste your memory

  Setting up platformer animations with events can be pretty tricky, so the animation triggers are there to make it easier. 8 direction is really simple though, there's really not much to it other than moving or not moving, so it should be easy enough with events.

  andreyin - same problem, same cause - you have the wrong version of Visual Studio. There's a separate version for Windows Phone 8, you can't open WP8 projects in the version for just Windows 8 apps.

  You can't use raw WebGL calls, it will conflict with the batching glwrap does. I'm afraid we don't have documentation right now though so the best thing to do is to look at plugins. Sprite has a pretty simple drawGL function to just draw a textured quad.
