  • Arima - Chrome have announced the intention to support asm.js, but in the mean time they've made the ordinary V8 engine better at handling it, so it's still quite fast.

  • Can't reproduce. Are your graphics card drivers up to date?

  • I've investigated further. I can reproduce on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 reliably, but only in release builds. When in a debug build, it does not occur. This is one of the most difficult classes of bug that can occur in software development. I have almost no leads from which to investigate. It's possible to debug release builds, but there is hardly any useful information (the debugger simply reports there may have been heap corruption, which is also another very difficult class of bug).

    Obviously this needs fixing and it may also be the source of other random crashes or instability in Construct 2, so I will keep working on it, but I don't know how long this could be around for. In the mean time I recommend trying to find workarounds (perhaps avoiding showing the grid?). I have also tried to add more useful information to the error messages for the next build, so let me know if any error messages change from r145+. On top of that any extra information such as which build the problem first started occurring in could be useful.

  • Did you test in r144.2? We fixed some related issues recently already. I've made some further changes for the next build anyway (added CloseCode and CloseReason expressions; made sure the error message is read properly).

    Note: please don't adjust official plugins. It's better to suggest the code changes then allow us to make them through official builds. Anyone using that plugin you provided will now have compatibility difficulties with the official plugin that will come in the next build.

  • Can't reproduce, works for me every time (and as far as I know, most other users, since we don't have any other reports of this). Are you sure you have the right version of Java installed? You need the 64-bit Java for minified export to work in 64-bit Windows.

  • Closing - I'm afraid we cannot do anything about projects that are already corrupt. We need the steps that caused the project to become corrupt in the first place to be able to do anything about it.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • Can't reproduce in my dev copy of r145. Closing - let me know if you still have any issues with r145 when it's out.

  • We've actually experimented with an asm.js-powered version of the Physics behavior already. It was a lot faster on Firefox and Chrome, but considerably slower on IE and Safari (including iOS). It's hard for us to switch to it or even provide it as an option when performance is so unpredictable. Hopefully in future asm.js will be more widely supported and we'll be able to make the switch without making anything slower.

  • Yes, but it's pretty complicated. You can do anything from a plugin that you can do in a web page, but that doesn't mean it will be easy.

  • — - have you tried r144.2?

  • The best approach is to store metadata in WebStorage about which save slots are in use. Then to clear savegames just clear the WebStorage keys you've been keeping about which slots are in use.

  • The fact it's requesting something to do with chrome-extension:// indicates you have a broken browser addon, and not a problem with Construct 2.

  • It's crashing in your graphics card driver, not Construct 2 (note the fault module is atio6axx.dll, meaning you have an ATI/AMD graphics card with a broken driver). Updating your drivers will hopefully fix it.
