  Did you have a custom theme set? What does "second engine" mean?

  See Construct 2's export-time optimisations. We already do texture atlas packing on export along with a number of other optimisations.

  I would expect them to support Windows 7 as well, but probably not Vista, since typically they support both the current and previous version of Windows with new IE versions. However the Windows 7 release might come later, since IE10 came out for Windows 8 a few months before it came out for Windows 7.

  It's not to do with the anchor behavior, it's because the viewport isn't correct in 'Start of layout'. I think it takes a tick to figure out the window size and update itself accordingly.

  It could also be argued that they are overlapping. The right edge of the left object is at X = 20. The left edge of the right object is also at X=20. Therefore their edges are at the same position, which makes them overlap.

  We don't support IE8 because it has no HTML5 support. We're aware some people still use IE8, but it should still work fine on XP with the latest Chrome or Firefox.

  Closing, this is by design. Setting positions only sets to the position in layout co-ordinates; it does not take in to account the altered viewport.

  You should contact whoever runs the server where you want to directly retrieve data, and ask them to set up CORS (specifically, the Access-Control-Allow-Origin HTTP header). If you can't reach them or they don't want to do that, then a middle server that ignores the security limitation is the only way around it!

  It's pretty much 100% confirmed now. Providing MS implement it in a standards-compliant way, all existing Windows 8 apps should automatically switch to using the faster WebGL renderer, and allow use of shaders. I hear it's also coming to Windows Phone 8, although later in the year. So it's good news for anyone publishing to Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8.

  For the web, this means WebGL is much more widely supported. IE still has a pretty big chunk of users on Windows, and if they all end up on IE11 then that's a lot more people who get the faster, shader-enabled WebGL renderer. So good news for web publishing too!

  CocoonJS is just for iOS and Android native apps. If you run in a browser, or export to desktop, you don't need either of them and Construct 2's built-in features should be fine.

  You always need to consider the file size and memory use - the only difference with desktops are the practical limits tend to be higher.

  Closing, this project is working correctly. You have set up your layers in a confusing manner on layout 3 which is causing the problem. The global objects are on the following layers:

  Layout 1: created on layer 1 (HUD)

  Layout 2: only has one layer, so global objects are moved to layer 0 (HUD)

  Layout 3: has 3 layers; the global objects stay on layer 0 (Background). However layer 1 (HUD) is above that and is not transparent, so nothing on Background will appear - it draws over with an opaque white background. Move the HUD layer to the bottom or set Transparent to Yes and you can see all the global objects.
