  Were you using r144? It's known not to work. r144.2 should work.

  It's because the node-webkit exporter includes the complete Chromium browser engine. One of the advantages of publishing as a HTML5 website is players can use their existing browser, making the game a really small download.

  Steam regularly delivers games in the gigabytes, and if you make a large game 17mb is probably small compared to the size of the rest of the assets (music, sound, graphics, etc.)

  It would be best to ask Ludei. We already support their controller API, so if they hook up support for iOS 7 game controllers, it should work with C2 straight away.

  There are existing keyboard shortcuts for this: F2 and Shift+F2.

  I've added a DevicePixelRatio expression for the next build. But I'm not sure you really need to take it in to account for display. Usually letterbox scale just takes care of everything. For example, an iPad 3 (2048x1536) has twice the screen width and height of the iPad 2 (1024x768) in the same space, i.e. double the pixel density. But letterbox scale just stretches to fill and everything appears at exactly the same size. So there's no need to take in to account PPI for that.

  How are you running the game? Via preview over wifi or exporting to CocoonJS? Are you choosing any other export option?

  Would it solve this to expose devicePixelRatio through the Browser plugin?

  Nathan - no, OR blocks always run all the conditions even if an early condition returns true, so that the correct objects are picked (especially important for conditions like "Object X < 100 OR Object Y < 100"). So even if a system condition is first and returns true, it will still run the second condition that returns false for the instance, unpicks it, then runs the event, no instances are picked, thus the action has no effect.

  Can you make a simpler example, with fewer events, and fully automated perhaps? I find this just a little confusing, and I don't think I understand your description. The layout says "As soon as the effect is added, sound play stops". But I don't hear it stop, it just keeps playing with the effect. Am I misunderstanding?

  BTW I tested with r144.2.

  Should be fixed in r144.2, out in a few hours.

  I think this is fixed for the next build, but note your expected result is wrong. Where you compare the instance variable to "something", neither the yellow nor red objects meet that condition, so are un-picked. The event still runs due to the system condition being true, but the action has no effect since no instances are picked. So the correct result is when the red and yellow sprites don't rotate but the other two do.

  The Steam and standalone versions use an identical exporter, so it is strange that they would do something different. Do you have the correct version of Java installed? Are you using the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Construct 2 each time?
