  Best ask ludei for improvements here, since I think this is something they would have to fix.

  I cannot reproduce any issue in Chrome if I press the mouse down, move it outside then back in again, then release. It seems to work correctly. The only issue is if you press inside, drag outside, then release. The game doesn't receive the mouse up event, so still thinks the mouse is down. Then you have to click inside the game to get it working again.

  I'm not sure what can be done about this - AFAIK the browser just won't send the mouse up event. Perhaps you could try playing with some iframe attributes like seamless or sandbox...

  This is very likely a graphics card driver bug, not an issue with Construct 2 or Windows 8. Complain to your graphics card vendor. Up-to-date drivers can still be buggy, and the release of a new OS may mean drivers have been changed but not properly tested. This would also be why the issue does not happen on any other computers.

  A possible explanation is the driver is incorrectly putting the 1259px wide image on the next power-of-two size texture at 2048px. This makes it resize to about half as wide. You could test this theory by making it another two pixels taller (129px) and it may again round up to the next power of two size at 256px, and make it display too narrow vertically as well.

  Alternatively if you have Catalyst Control Center or the nVidia control panel or any other graphics card tweaking software, try uninstalling it or just reset to factory defaults. These tend to just be crapware that gives you options to break things.

  We've had issues with bugs in the input drivers for Windows 8 devices. Does it fix it if you change it to use 'On any touch'? If you put the touch count in a text object on-screen does it get stuck at 2? If so it seems likely a device specific issue.

  You're right, 'On any key pressed' should not block the browser default action. This is changed for the next build.

  Please see how to report bugs - be sure to include a .capx file demonstrating the problem and a complete and clear description. Closed.

  Please see how to report bugs, we cannot accept such large projects. You need to reproduce the problem in a new empty project otherwise it's unlikely we'll be able to fix it. Once you've done that you can share the .capx file on a free service like Dropbox.

  Construct 2 already uses this code (specifically, option B). It is set by changing the 'Sampling' project property from 'Linear' to 'Point'. Have you tried that?

  browardtech - you posted in the "Bugs" forum, which is for reporting defects in Construct 2 (except those in third party plugins). Perhaps you want to post in "How do I?" instead.

  I think some Mac users successfully run Construct 2 with Parallels.

  kuramayoko10 - can you describe in more detail what you mean? The free edition already supports slopes in the Platform movement and can test collisions with rotated objects or objects with arbitrary collision polygons.

  Kenith - in order to work on a commercial game all people involved in the development of the game will need the same license. As far as licenses are concerned, you need a license to help develop the game, not just publish it at the end.

  Try using the WebStorage object.
