  I'm not sure how your host is set up, maybe you need to restart the server or wait a while for it to check the new .htaccess. Best to go to your host with these questions.

  Can you make a .capx file? Setting things invisible works fine for me.

  Isn't that what setting an object invisible does?

  For audio I think it might be a bug fixed in the next build - audio files don't work on case sensitive servers.

  If you press Ctrl+Shift+J though you'll see this error:

  pplication Cache Error event: Invalid manifest mime type (text/plain) games.apimenti.com/projects/spacebar/offline.appcache

  You need to contact your host and get them to make sure the .appcache file is sent with the text/cache-manifest MIME type otherwise the caching will be broken.

  You can save to the user's computer using the WebStorage plugin. Did you want server-side saving though?

  Are you on the latest C2 release?

  What OS and service pack are you on?

  I think it's most likely the HTTP server not shutting down - if you always use File preview mode, does it still happen?

  Windows 8 supports HTML5 applications - so I think it's more likely you'll get that in C2!

  Link us to where the game is running and we can check it out and see what's wrong.

  Well I'm afraid you can't have both - you have two options:

  1: use the built in behaviors (like 8 direction) which automatically respond to solid

  2: use events to move the object, and add events to handle collisions with solids (which can be pretty tricky).

  For #1, you might get better results using the behavior with an invisible square object which does not animate or rotate, and place the player on top of that. Usually that makes collisions more reliable.

  For #2, it's impossible for Construct 2 to handle collisions with solids for you. Construct 2 does not know what you want to do when an object hits a solid - different games will need to do different things. So you have to set it up yourself with events. That can be tricky - but that's what the behaviors are there for! The behaviors are designed to take care of that for you.

  Are you using the latest release of Construct 2 (r63)? We fixed some project corruption issues a few releases back, you should definitely stay up to date!

  Does this happen every time? Does it affect new projects or just one project?

  On System tick - subtract one.

  If you do that, your timer changes speed depending on the framerate, which is probably unfair. If you subtract dt instead of one then the variable will count down one every second regardless of the framerate. Have a read of the Delta-time and framerate independence tutorial.
