  roberto - disable minify on export should fix it, looks like a C2 bug. Should be fixed in next build.

  The layout area does not use any memory. You can have a ridiculously huge layout area and it should not use any more memory than a layout the size of the screen.

  The window area should not affect it either, since it will always create a texture the size of the screen. It just affects how it's scaled.

  My best guess is the older device is running out of texture memory; ask Ludei when they plan to support VRAM management.

  Ludei suggested we use screencanvas a while ago and in my testing it only got a few frames per second extra on modern devices (I think I tested a Samsung Galaxy S3). However it sounds like it's a much bigger gain on old devices. Ludei did say there were bugs they're still trying to fix with it though, so on that basis I decided not to support it in the last stable release. I might experimentally turn it on for the next beta release and see how it goes.

  It's already implemented. Use the 'Open web app' option.

  Construct 2 automatically cleans up any temporary files it creates when closing down. So it should not be leaving any files at all. It might be a bug, can you find a way to reproduce it?

  Try using the 'Set color' shader instead.

  So I suppose it's a problem with Chrome. You might want to report it to Google.

  Are your graphics drivers up to date?

  Usually setting point sampling and pixel rounding fixes this type of thing - otherwise check your graphics drivers are up to date.

  You need to enable or disable them individually using the properties on the Windows 8 object.

  Are either of you using any third party tools to "clean" your computer? Construct 2 uses the Temp folder while you have a .capx file open, and if some tool tries to "helpfully" clean up all the files in Temp, it just wiped your project. This isn't Construct 2's fault, it's your third party tool at fault for being overzealous at deleting temp files. Anyway, this issue will remain closed until a reliable series of steps to reproduce the problem can be found - there's virtually nothing we can do without that.
