  It's not possible. All the form controls actually are floating above the game, so you cannot draw sprites or anything else on top of them.

  It must be a problem with your computer's configuration. It seems to be installing OK for everyone else.

  Can you find a particular thing that causes this to happen? It's usually impossible to fix bugs without a sequence of steps that always reproduces the problem.

  Jonnhy10 - surely not all games say that? Which games have you tried?

  Helladen - we only support the Platform behavior when used with a bounding box collision mask, so we don't fix bugs unless they occur with that. Using a rectangle collision for Platform with a cosmetic sprite on top is a totally standard and far more reliable way of designing platform games.

  Tokinsom - you're the only one who's provided an actual .capx reproducing the issue so far, and the link in the OP is now a 404. I can't work on this any further unless I have a .capx!

  lemo - you're right, I was confused by the other details in the thread. I took another look at the original .capx and it turned out to be a WebGL specific issue, and should be fixed in the next build. Please note in future your bugs may be resolved more quickly if you test across all three browsers in the bug report field; in this case, if you had tested in IE rather than leaving that field blank, it would not have been affected and that would have provided an important clue to resolve this issue quicker.

  Paradox - followed your instructions, still can't reproduce. On Windows 8 here. Normally my properties grid is tall enough not to need scrolling, but I tried with the window resized down so I also have to scroll, still no issue here.

  I can't see any evidence this is a bug and not just your events working properly. If there really is a bug in the Array object's 'delete index' action, it should be possible to demonstrate it in a single event. Can you do that?

  Your .capx only has one animation frame; I tried duplicating that frame, but the origin displayed correctly and the same on both frames. Can you provide a .capx that reproduces this issue?

  Keep your work safe with Construct 2's backup options

  Closing since we cannot do anything about this unless we have steps to reproduce. Otherwise it could be an OS problem, failing storage media, or something else that isn't C2's fault.

  Note: a .caproj is not a whole project, you need to save as a .capx to send a whole project.

  Error code 5 is 'Access denied'. Try running the setup as administrator.

  Yep, that's the idea - things like the Touch object work on all platforms (and can use mouse input too) so your games should be highly portable.

  That note of 'rendering the screen only three times per tick' is interesting. I'm not interested in mobile development, but does a similar (albeit larger) limitation exist on desktop hardware?

  Generally modern desktop GPUs have such a ludicrous fill rate that they can fill a window-sized texture faster than the CPU can issue the command to draw. But mobile devices are a lot weaker, mainly due to being battery powered.

  Re: flipping - it looks OK in Chrome, just seems to be an editor problem, can you confirm that's the case?

  We cannot fix bugs from screenshots: we need .capx projects made from scratch. Can you provide this?
