  Closing as won't fix: you're exceeding the maximum texture size of the system, you have to stay within the limits.

  Can't reproduce either, and this is a super basic feature and nobody else is reporting it, so sounds like a system-specific issue.

  This is not a bug report for C2, please contact PhoneGap Build support if you need help with their service.

  These test numbers probably don't mean anything. C3 ships with some carefully designed performance tests in the tech demos section. The fairest test would be to re-produce those tests with other tools, but it's surprisingly difficult to make sure it's a fair test, especially in coding tools where you can easily take shortcuts to make something visually similar but without running everything C3 is doing.

  I'd be willing to bet most people here use Construct in spite of it being html5 than because it is html5. I'm here for the event system.

  It must be easy as a customer to ignore the practical realities of software development. Honestly, the whole reason the event system is so good, is because we've never been bogged down by multiple codebases. Think about this: we're doing better than most other non-programming tools, some of which even have native codebases and make a point of it. Some have had up to 10 times as many employees, even. Why don't they "just" make the rest of the tool better? Because their technology choices cause massive development slowdowns.

  So I think this is actually completely wrong: we're all here *because* Construct is HTML5. Everyone can gripe about various aspects of HTML5 - no technology or set of technologies are perfect - but until you actually work on such a big software project, you'll probably never understand just how unreasonable it is to imagine that we could "just" have the same product with alternative technologies, or anyone else with multiple codebases could "just" make their product as good as Construct.

  Thanks for working on this, it's very handy for SDK users!

  It's 50 events, if you verify your email.

  The default preview window size is meant to be the viewport size exactly, but if you're on a high-DPI display there's probably this bug that affects it: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=677381

  "I can't believe Scirra chose a HTML5 runtime instead of Flash. It just doesn't make any sense. Everyone is doing everything in Flash so obviously that was what they should have done. Also they have started charging money when Construct Classic was free, especially when C2 is so early on at this stage of development compared to CC. Obviously this will drive away users. I think I'll choose another tool. HTML5 also only runs in Chrome and Firefox right now so it seems needlessly limited, and we don't know if other browsers will ever support it. It seems like it was a desparate afterthought. It's sad to see Scirra making such crazy choices. It seems like they'll just fade in to obscurity to be overtaken by other tools. Too bad they're doomed."

  I feel your are right: even the performance of a simple platform game (Kiwi) is very underwhelming on a i5 machine with 4gb.

  Please provide actual benchmark numbers, otherwise this kind of statement is worthless.

  My office machine can render over a quarter of a million on-screen sprites at 30 FPS in Chrome, so you can get great performance in a browser. A single actual measurement is worth more than an entire forum full of vague statements.
