  Sorry folks, the multiplayer server crashed over the weekend. I restarted it and will look in to the problem tomorrow. Should be working now.

  Image deduplication removes any images which are the same when you export, so this is effectively already supported.

  Sounds like a bug in their timing code. Time passes at the same rate regardless of how many processes you have open

  This problem is always caused by a buggy graphics driver so there's nothing we can do I'm afraid. Try updating your graphics drivers.

  Use a lot less particles, to start with, and then add it under an "Every" event to e.g. only spawn every 0.2 seconds or something like that.

  For testing performance, there is no good way other than to test on a real device. You can't really reliably fake a device being slower (and obviously being faster than itself is impossible).

  Consoles are usually locked down for security reasons, so they may well have turned off browsing sites on the LAN.

  Construct 2 never really supported the Xbox 360 anyway. Xbox One is supported though!

  I think you are proposing a whole new product. Construct 2 is designed for game development. It still supports several kinds of form controls despite that.

  I don't think the necessary features to do this are supported yet.

  I think better to add back "Use new Intel XDK project format" option, to be able to disable. So it was easier to update an existing XDK project.

  That doesn't support WKWebView though, so right now that would produce iOS apps that don't work on iOS 10.

  Hi!

  So I think it will be the best if I post the capx file here:

  http://yurinkastudio.com/games/gameIce.capx

  The game lags for me on a phone only when touching to move the player. In the events you spawn a new Particles object every tick while in a touch, and each instance spawns 50 particles as a one-shot effect. So that single action alone is spawning about 3000 particles per second while in a touch. So your game is probably spending the vast majority of its CPU time simulating and issuing draw calls for those particles.

  Don't use particles so wastefully! This isn't Construct 2 or mobile devices being slow, it's just extraordinarily inefficient game design.

  Construct 2 specifies those plugins to ensure your app works. You should leave them there.

  Guys, as Intel XDK is the only one officially supported C2 wrapper

  We also officially support PhoneGap Build, so you can try that as well. You're not forced to use just the XDK.

  xmnboy - if the problem is the .xdk file being overwritten, perhaps a simpler workaround is to export to a separate folder, then copy all the files over apart from the .xdk file? i.e. just update all the asset files and leave the same project file.

  This problem is unfortunate but in this case it stems from a breaking change in iOS 10 and a lack of a reliable way to identify WKWebView - it's Apple who have put us in an awkward position over this :-\ We could add those old options back, but then apps are broken on iOS 10 again, so we would prefer to stick to WKWebView-only mode if possible - especially since it can be 2-3x faster!

  annerosas - please file a bug report following all the guidelines, we can't help without all that information.

  However if you somehow build without WKWebView when it's exported to use WKWebView, you would see that error, so maybe check your build settings.

  caad8user - are you able to file a bug report for that?
