  Closing, please follow the bug report guidelines or there is nothing we can do. If the problem originates in the Spriter plugin, you should report it to Brashmonkey instead, since they develop that plugin.

  Construct 2 does not use the .NET framework, so this does not make any sense. It does not appear to have affected a large number of users though - almost all modern Windows systems have the .NET framework installed, so I am sure this would have been a much larger issue if that was really the problem. Closing as a probable one-off configuration problem.

  I am not clear exactly what the problem here is. Can you clarify?

  Implementation of Any, ANY of the things mentioned in Bret Victors speech here: https://vimeo.com/71278954

  I don't understand what you want me to take away from this video. Despite the name, it's more like "the past of programming". Can you give me any examples of specific product decisions that could be made based on anything he says?

  This doesn't make much sense, particularly since Construct 2 doesn't use any audio playback features like a media app does.

  Yes, the minification guide already covers this. You need to use obj["prop"] syntax.

  You need to implement everything you described yourself, by sending messages over the WebSocket connection. When you add in the synchronisation issues (since everyone has a different latency, so is working on a different delay to the "real" game) it becomes extremely complicated. The Multiplayer object has already solved all of this for you!

  'Disable collisions' only affects 'On collision' and 'Is overlapping' events. Arguably a touch is not a collision, because the touch is not an object that is colliding with it, it's something else (a form of input). So I'm not sure if this should be changed anyway?

  Modern phones like the iPhone 6S are getting about as powerful as laptops. The hardware is incredible! WebGL allows the GPU to be used pretty much exactly how a native app would use it, so graphics performance in WebGL can be phenomenal, as this demo shows. This is all the same tech that powers Construct 2 games too

  The golden rule of performance is to make measurements. If you can't measure a difference, it doesn't matter either way, and you're probably wasting your time until you find something that makes a measurable difference.

  Note that testing a powerful desktop machine might make it difficult to measure any changes, since it will always be fast enough - ideally you want the weakest device that you intend to be targeting to test on. (For example for a Steam desktop game the lowest-end device is probably still a decent-ish gaming laptop, whereas for a mobile game the lowest-end device would be a cheap Android phone.)

  It sounds like you built in shared mode, which requires that the Crosswalk runtime be separately installed. If you build in normal mode it bundles Crosswalk with the app itself.
