  As ever, you can make a minimal repro of a problem and file a bug with Google directly. I just checked again and in Chrome, for me, sbperftest's jank meter is locked on 0ms, indicating perfect v-sync. I presume there is something device-specific about any jank issues, and v-sync is implemented in the Chrome browser anyway, so it makes more sense to cut us out of the process and take it up with them.

  This is what I've been saying all along - making our own native engines won't necessarily solve any of the problems people think it will.

  I think there are now more files that need to be marked executable:

  nw (or whatever the main file with the name of your project is)

  nacl_helper

  nacl_helper_bootstrap

  anything ending in .so

  If those are all marked executable the NW.js app should start up.

  It's a bit tricky given C2 exports on Windows which doesn't handle UNIX file permissions :-\ We should probably make a bash script to do that...

  The variadic parameter has to be at the end. It wasn't even designed to work in C3 with it not at the end, if it works it's only by accident!

  Variadic parameters were implemented solely for the Function plugin. Anything the Function plugin doesn't need may be missing or buggy. I'd advise against using them if you can.

  You shouldn't change the script tag like that. It will break offline support and circumvent the existing versioning system.

  AFAIK iOS 11.1 has not updated Safari yet.

  Colludium - you need to re-download r248. The C2 version you mentioned is from before we updated the download.

  Are you reloading Chrome/the game after changing the zoom/DPI level? It won't handle it correctly during runtime, only startup.

  Simulators do not accurately reflect performance at all. They run with the performance of the device the simulator is running on, which is often much more powerful. You must test on real devices to get sensible performance results.

  Well, you turned off high-resolution display, so it's done what you told it to.

  There was a last-minute issue that also affected C3. I've updated the r248 download to correct it. If you re-download and reinstall r248 it should fix it. Can you confirm this works?

  As we've stated previously, we do not plan any significant new features for Construct 2 any more beyond maintenance/bug fixes. All major development work is now being done on Construct 3.

  In general, anything you don't use doesn't affect performance. It sounds like a better idea just to change the settings of one behavior though.
