  I would guess you are close to the capacity of the GPU, and additive layers take marginally more processing power.

  Closing, please see the bug report guidelines. Use linear sampling and crop with a 1px transparent border to ensure to get smooth edges.

  If you just want to test, why not use Remote Preview?

  OR blocks are one of the most complex parts of the event engine, since the way the picking works differently has ramifications for the entire way all picking works throughout the event system. Given that many conditions internally work differently with their own particular algorithms, it can result in some pretty difficult edge cases, which is what I suspect is going on here.

  Currently we are still very busy with the C3 beta running up to the full launch, C2 is pending a stable release, C2 is only in maintenance mode, and this bug report is only a few days old. I can't give an ETA when I'll be able to investigate/fix this or any other related issues, but hopefully I'll get to it at some point.

  You don't need to download it. You just run it in the browser, and it downloads it in the background. This lets it even work offline.

• Try Construct 3

  Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  Both of them measure 5-10% CPU for me. The iPhone 4 is pretty old and is stuck with iOS 7 - now four versions behind - so if you only see a difference there, it may just be that old versions of Safari don't optimise the JavaScript so well.

  Try PhoneGap Build. You can also use Construct 3's build service with Construct 2 exports. As of the latest C2 betas, the export can also be used with the Cordova CLI for manual local builds.

  The file is not public, please provide a public link.

  Also if the problem only reproduces on one specific device, that suggests our code is correct (because it works everywhere else) and that there is a bug with the device - graphics driver bugs are very common.

  If you're using preview-over-wifi, it uses insecure HTTP (not HTTPS), which by default blocks security-sensitive features like geolocation.

  I could not measure any significant difference between the two. Could you produce a minimal .capx demonstrating the problem? It also helps to provide two already-prepared .capx files so there don't need to be instructions to follow to modify them, I could have done something wrong (and people often forget a step). Also a good approach as tunepunk discovered is just to modify the quadissue performance test and measure the difference when you add something to the main sprite.

  (Moved to Construct 3 forum)

  Construct 3 does have a build service and it's already running. You can use it already if you have a subscription!

  Construct 3 is already available, try it at editor.construct.net

  We've always been confident enough in the strengths of Construct to allow discussion of other tools. Tom even blogged about it, right back in the early days when Construct 2 was pretty limited compared to now, and we still had the same view: https://www.scirra.com/blog/62/removing-mentionsdiscussion-on-competitors

  I think in the past we've drawn a line if someone says something literally along the lines of "nobody should buy C2/C3, everybody should go buy X instead!" which I generally see as just trolling, but other than that we generally don't mind. Obviously we are going to defend the strengths of Construct, but we're not going to pretend we're the only option.

  Hmm, the runtime strings aren't currently covered by translations. I don't think it uses too many, but I'm not sure how far we should go... e.g. should console.log()s be translated too?

  Clickteam MultiMedia Fusion 2.5, it may look like it's still living in the 1990's but it works well (especially the runtime, it's native and runs fast!

  FWIW I saw a Bunnymark benchmark recently that Construct 2 in Chrome outperformed Fusion 2.5's native runtime. Native doesn't mean fast, and HTML5 doesn't mean slow. The C3 runtime will be even faster too.

  Remote Preview works on iOS 11+.
