  This is caused by buggy graphics drivers that crash as soon as Construct 2 tries to initialise OpenGL for the layout view (which it does when you open a project or create a new project). Check for any driver updates and install any available software updates for your system.

  This isn't currently supported, but you can work around it: use the Local Storage plugin to track which savegames are in use, and when you want to delete a savegame, just delete the slot name from LocalStorage instead.

  I found an issue with fades not working in Kiwi Story with the C2 runtime specifically in WebGL 1 (WebGL 2 works). I'm looking in to it and hopefully can have it fixed for the next release. Hopefully it's the same issue as you've encountered, but it's impossible to know for sure unless you can make a minimal project that reproduces the issue and share that.

  Or are you saying we need to create an additional LocalStorage key for each "System Save Slot"?

  Yes, exactly. You can work around the fact you can't really clear save slots by just keeping a list of the save slots you are using in LocalStorage, and just delete the save slot from LocalStorage when you don't need it any more. When you want to know which save slots are in use, check with LocalStorage.

  You can't count on touch IDs being any particular numbers, only that each touch has a unique ID. So you shouldn't rely on things like comparing a touch ID >= 0 - you're relying on touch IDs being positive when Safari sometimes uses negative touch IDs.

  Construct's own examples work around this by using -1 as a special ID for "no touch", and compares touch ID != -1.

  Is this specific to the iOS simulator? If so, it's probably this issue: https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/2079

  Otherwise - your software is out of date, and it's telling you what to do - check for any available software updates.

  Rent a server, open a browser tab on it, and leave it hosting.

  q3olegka - please only post in English on the forum. We will start deleting posts which aren't English because it's difficult for us to moderate them. There are other unofficial forums for different languages.

  Your attitude is why people hate russians in internet communities.

  If you continue saying things like this you will get a temp ban. Be respectful.

  As I mentioned in another thread, you can use LocalStorage to track which saves are in use, where you can iterate and delete keys.

  The file in the dropdown is not actually added to the project, according to your screenshot. So it looks like you imported the files to a different project by accident.

  That sounds like an absurd number of events. What could you possibly need them for?

  If you're doing something like copying and pasting whole lists of events and changing a number in each one, you can usually replace that with a better designed method, e.g. a loop or function.

  This is the kind of internal hackery with the engine that can break at any time as we change the engine.

  Why do you need to do this? You can clear storage using the browser development tools if you are testing.

  Can't you just add conditions to an "On touched object" event to ignore any that are invisible or on invisible layers?

  It works in browsers that support navigator.share. Currently this is just Chrome for Android, but it should be coming for Safari soon (iOS & macOS), and desktop on other platforms in future too. In Android and iOS apps we use Cordova as a fallback so it already works there.

  Looks like this is working in the latest release, so closing. If you still have trouble please file a new issue.
