  Use the Windows WebView2 or macOS WKWebView export options instead of NW.js - they're much smaller, and in fact NW.js has been retired in the latest releases. There's also a guide in the manual on optimizing download size.

  In the video you only disable WebGPU for the project, not for the editor. You need to disable WebGPU for the editor in Settings to be able to enable the effects and see them in the editor. If you still think there's a problem, you'll need to file an issue following all the guidelines.

  The "SkendPow" effect also doesn't support WebGPU. You'll need to disable WebGPU and go back to using WebGL only for such effects.

  Construct has supported WebGPU for a couple of years now, just disabled by default until now, so there's been plenty of time for addon developers to provide a WebGPU port. I'm afraid this type of thing is one of the risks of using unmaintained third-party addons.

  It shouldn't crash and my own tests work OK. It's hard to say more unless you file an issue following the guidelines. It's also possible it's crashing on Steam's side, for example if the app was somehow misconfigured.

  A similar issue was posted here - my response there may be worth trying.

  Like most HTML objects in Construct, you can use the Set attribute action. However you'll probably need to have that set before navigating, so you'll need to do something like set the initial URL to be empty (or some placeholder), then on startup set the attribute and then navigate to the intended URL.

  Try disabling WebGPU in Settings and see if that helps (note there is one setting for the editor, and another for your project). Also try installing any available system software updates or graphics driver updates, as it might be a graphics driver issue.

  There's a search field in the toolbar there. Doesn't that do what you need?

  All you need to do is visit https://editor.construct.net/r449-3/, with the version in the URL there, to load that version. It should only take a second.

  That post is over 10 years old and is pretty out of date in some key details now. Perhaps I should do another blog focusing on the modern WebGPU renderer.

  In short, use the Steamworks plugin instead of Greenworks, and export using the Windows WebView2, macOS WKWebView or Linux CEF export options. The documentation tab of the Steamworks plugin has more information.
