  makedit - Awesomium exports from r106 should force WebGL on all the time regardless of the graphics card. How are you determining that WebGL is disabled on these cards?

  makedit - we don't support XP SP1, as listed in System Requirements. Only XP SP3 is supported - it's a free update.

  bjadams - yes, Construct 2 movements work the same regardless of the framerate. See delta time and framerate independence for more information.

  slw666 - unfortunately a delta-time based movement like Construct 2 uses can result in slight random variations in the movement. Reducing the framerate won't necessarily solve this problem either. The best thing to do is design your game so pixel-perfect movement is not necessary. I'd increase the jump height a little so it works reliably everywhere.

  Awesomium have announced that they will eventually support Mac and Linux, but it's not out just yet. Hopefully in a few months we'll have it.

  It may be that the system is running out of VRAM (graphics card memory) in this case, so buying system RAM might not actually help.

  Arima - I tested your workaround and it did indeed make a big difference in Space Blaster with retina enabled in landscape resolution. I'll build it in to the next release (with the same applied for height as well). Thanks for the work digging in to this and finding a workaround as well!

  nemo - looks like it's just running out of memory, possibly on texture creation with having loads of tabs open. Does closing all the tabs and only ever having one or two open prevent the problem?

  R0J0hound's suggestion is a good idea, you really shouldn't be trying to edit this data by hand - just only ever use anything saved directly out of the Array object and it should always work as expected.

  It could be the response time of LCD screens. If I drag the entire window I see a slight blurring effect, but it's due to the LCD pixels taking a few milliseconds to switch.

  C2 absolutely does not touch your project files on disk unless you explicitly press the Save button. If it does it may be a bug (but it would seem unlikely to me), but I am more worried about files going corrupt - is there anything you can reproduce and file a bug report for?

  Arima - your theory about maximum texture size is plausible, and the performance results seem to back it up. Shall I build this in to the engine for the next release?

  This is not supported. I'm not aware of any good reason to do this - if the game can run at 60 FPS, why not let it?

  I wouldn't recommend disabling it, because it could save you a lot of trouble if something goes wrong.

  sqiddster - initially it will just be to manage what's loaded in to memory. Also it will only be supported in the WebGL renderer and hopefully directCanvas and CocoonJS - the normal canvas 2D renderer doesn't actually provide explicit memory management options, but hopefully the browser will manage it automatically in that case.

  KMag - I'm not sure what "known problems" you're referring to - are you sure you've reported bugs for every issue you've come across?
