  Construct 2 is mature software; we've fixed thousands of bugs over the 6 years it's been released. These days, genuinely over half of all bug reports are just mistakes in events. We can't deal with thousands of reports if we have to sift through hundreds of events every time, so we hold everyone to the bug report requiremenets. It's not just you, we do this routinely. The linked thread explains the rationale in detail.

  I think this is caused by the same underlying issue as this bug: when hitting a surface it can sometimes stop with a small gap, since it stops as soon as the next step (which at high speeds is a visible distance) goes in to a solid. However with a lower acceleration, it then starts accelerating in to the small gap, and then hits the solid again leaving a smaller gap, which it can then accelerate in to again... this causes the "blinking" effect as it alternates between moving and stopped.

  I've fixed the other bug for the next build so it stops within 1px of the obstacle it hit. Since this eliminates the gap and there's nothing to accelerate in to, it seems to also fix this issue as well. So it should be working in r248.

  It's stopping as soon as its next step would go in to an obstacle, which with a high speed/acceleration can leave a visible gap as the step size is large. I've adjusted the next build to search for a much closer position when this happens so it should always be left adjacent.

  Should be fixed in the next build.

  Note the debugger shows the correct values; the text object sometimes applies a small amount of rounding. Since math calculations on CPUs aren't exact, it was calculating a value like 0.000000000000001 as the Y speed, which ended up causing "is moving" to be true because it was nonzero.

  Closing, please see the bug report guidelines. You have 175 events, so the problem could easily just be a mistake in your events. Please create a minimal .capx as the bug report guidelines describe if you want it to be investigated. If you need help getting events right please post in the "How do I" forum instead.

  This should be fixed in r248. Confirmed in Discord channel that the fix works.

  See exporting desktop apps with NW.js, particularly the part about file permissions.

  This isn't a good idea. Minifying the script changes all the names so will break any cases you make runtime calls by executing JS.

  insanesnake - you probably need to post the actual command you used for anyone to be able to help. Otherwise we're just guessing what you typed in.

  tunepunk - file a bug on the Edge issue tracker then at least they might eventually fix it.

  The link looks broken, please provide a working direct link. (A page full of ads in a language I don't understand is also challenging )

  If the webview crashes, it means either the Chromium engine (or maybe the GPU driver) crashed. It's not part of Construct or our code that is crashing. I'd suggest filing this at crbug.com. Also on Android the webview updates regularly, so it might be fixed by a future Chrome update.

  'On landed' is an animation trigger, intended to be the place you set the object to its landing animation. In this case though you directly transition from falling to jumping again, so there's no need to play the landed animation. I get that it seems odd the object landed but didn't fire "on landed", but this is currently why it's happening...

  The build is done by our server so the type of computer you use doesn't (or shouldn't, at least) affect it. It sounds more likely that the way you transferred the APK affected it. File a bug report following all the guidelines if you think there's a problem with Construct.
