  Closing as we don't support third party plugins as per how to report bugs. If you can reproduce this issue without using any third party plugins please post a new report.

  You need to ask Ludei about this. I don't think there's anything we can do to change the permissions when exporting from C2.

  Laurent - usually we can't help without the exact text of the error message.

  1. Objects are ignored if their bounding boxes are not overlapping which is an almost instant test, so collisions do not generally cause any framerate impact.

  2. You don't need to worry about this for Sprites. For Tiled Backgrounds it helps them tile seamlessly, and they need to be exact powers of two (e.g. 16, 32, 64...)

  Note Construct 2 multiplies zoom levels by 100, so 77 isn't an integer zoom level, it will really be 0.77. So your only seamless zoom levels are likely to be 100 (1x), 200 (2x), 300 (3x) etc.

  rob Kachmar - have you tried r115? I made some changes to how WP8 suspend works, although it might not be perfect still...

  Have you tried updating your graphics card drivers? This might be a driver bug the browser is running in to.

  This has been on the todo list a while now. We'll get round to it eventually.

  Or just drag it from the project bar in to another layout.

  If you make your own installer, just make it also run dxwebsetup.exe.

  I think beta releases are generally fairly stable - we don't usually make significant engine changes any more, so usually there are only more minor code changes or new features being added. However every now and then something important does get broken. I think it's still fairly low risk though - as long as you back up your project just before installing a beta, if it doesn't work you can go back to the previous version and still open your project. Usually within a week or so a new beta is out which fixes whatever was broken.

  We haven't had any "corrupted project" bugs for a long time now (although never say never...) but even if that worst case scenario happened, you have your backups (right?)

  The main purpose of beta releases is so if we do break something important it doesn't affect everyone - only those who have opted in to help testing.

  Supporting multiple screen sizes

  There are so many different resolutions out there it does not make sense to target just one. It would be better to target a common aspect ratio and scale the game in letterbox mode.

  nickcamillo - the best way to embed a game in to a page is using an iframe, as described earlier in the thread.

  Modern mobile devices actually have pretty good GPUs. I've done tests with fullscreen games running at reasonable framerates on an iPad 3.

  straybullet - we get asked to make a Mac version all the time, but we're a 2 man team and just can't take on the humongous amount of work at this time.

  sqiddster - to be safe you should ask everyone to install it. If the user has previously installed a DirectX based game it's probably already installed, but you can't really count on it.
