  Are you using a folder-based project? They are designed to be faster to save. If you're saving to a single-file .capx and have a 100mb project, every time you hit save it has to re-compress all 100mb of data back in to a single file, whereas a folder-based project just updates the one or two changed files.

  The r152 download has been updated and hopefully this resolves the issue:

  Can anyone affected by the issue confirm that after a download and reinstall it works again?

  A rotated or flipped tile is treated as a separate tile at runtime. It will probably perform exactly the same either way.

  Canvas is a HTML5 tag, so it's still correct to say it's a HTML5 engine. It's not actually possible to directly use CSS3 in canvas games, because CSS applies to styling DOM elements in a HTML document, and there are no DOM elements in a canvas game other than the canvas itself.

  To help prevent reverse engineering. You should not depend on it anyway, what would you need it for?

  Not really, not at least how the 9-patch does it. In the 9-patch image each section of the image is connected to the other parts. In a tilemap the tiles aren't necessarily meant to be connected to one another. The 9-patch seamless option draws 1px of overlap to cover up seams and that works since the image parts are connected, but in a tilemap, that would just cause an unrelated tile to bleed in to the seam.

  Construct 2 games basically don't use CSS at all. If your question is what is HTML5 without CSS, then the answer is everything you see in Construct 2!

  C2 games are based on HTML5 canvas, which is just a grid of pixels that can be drawn to via Javascript. No need for CSS there, except to position the canvas (which doesn't touch CSS3).

  Can I confirm you're using the 32-bit version of Construct 2? It seems the 32-bit version is broken but that the 64-bit version works OK. Hopefully we'll be able to address this shortly.

  OK, looks like it's just the 32-bit version that's broken. I'll try get a fix out Friday.

  Is anyone having trouble with the 64-bit version? I've tried out the 32-bit version and it is busted on one of the machines in our office, so there does seem to be a problem. I'll try to get a fix out tomorrow, but hopefully most people are on a 64-bit system!

  What's your system spec? Are there any error messages and if so what do they say?

  MotoR - r152 now resets dialogs on startup automatically when the system DPI changes. So this should not happen any more.
