  Can't reproduce on a Nokia Lumia 820 running Windows Phone 8, nor on Chrome for Android. Seems to work fine. Please include the full text of any error messages you receive; this may help us resolve the problem. Also, is the Lumia 720 running Windows Phone 7 or 8?

  Did you try pressing 'Reset dialogs' in Preferences?

  I can't seem to access your .capx file. Could you try using Dropbox, Google Drive or Skydrive instead?

  This has been discussed to death already. In short, technically using Construct 2 events is programming, but it's far easier and quite unlike traditional programming, and we are happy that "no programming required" is the most succinct way to convey this.

  c13303 - this report is over a year old. You should make a new report and make sure you test with the latest beta (currently r145).

  I just checked and it actually should already show the window right away, including any progress bar or loader layout that has been set. Does it really take ages before even the loader layout appears?

  If the browser is also 64-bit, then the games running in them will automatically be 64-bit as well. I don't know if Apple have updated Safari to support 64-bit processors though, or if it runs in 32-bit compatibility mode.

  Look at the stock 'Pathfinding' demo. It uses events to display the obstacle grid and show the movement waypoints.

  It's possible with WebSockets, but you'd need to write your own server, and it might not be suitable for real-time "twitch" gaming since WebSockets can only use TCP transmission, not UDP.

  No, they do not support WebGL.

  The WebStorage manual entry notes:

  ote WebStorage only stores strings. If you set a key to a number like 100, when you retrieve it back it will be a string. To convert it back, use the system expression int, e.g. int(WebStorage.LocalValue("score")).

  So you're probably getting the value back from WebStorage as a string "2" rather than the number 2. Make sure you convert it back to a number when reading from WebStorage if it's supposed to be a number.

  It may be possible with the next generation of browsers (XBox One, PS4), but we can't make any guarantees until the devices launch and we see the developer options available.

  It looks like it's only supported in the native SDK. Doesn't look like web apps can use it yet.

  I think it keeps the window hidden until the progress bar that you would see in a browser completes. I'll make it show the window sooner so the user can see the progress bar rather than wondering why nothing's appeared. I think you can already use a loader layout to show the window sooner as well.
