  Closing, if your system reboots without saving changes then like with any other software your changes will be lost.

  All software and hardware are prone to faults; you should keep backups for any digital work you do. You can also enable auto-saves in C2.

  Closing as this is probably a corrupt project and not a C2 bug. We can help recover files if you send them to support email, but it's not always possible. You should have backups enabled and simply revert to an earlier backup.

  See 'Common misconceptions' in Performance tips:

  [quote:1qvyu1dr]Image formats (e.g. JPEG, PNG-8, PNG-32) affect the download size but have no effect on runtime performance or memory use (they are all decompressed to 32-bit bitmap on startup).

  In other words, the image file size/format has no effect on memory use. It's effectively decompressed and loaded in to memory as a 32-bit ARGB bitmap.

  Vlakdo - please file a new report with precise steps to reproduce in the preview mode.

  This isn't really the right forum to ask general Javascript questions. You might want to ask on a site like StackOverflow.com.

  EstudioCelula3 - using 8-bit PNGs does not impact performance, only the download size. See 'Common misconceptions' in Performance Tips

  So it does not reproduce in Chrome?

  There's really not much we can do about the Android stock browser - we can't fix the browser itself, and it's not being updated any more either, Google transitioned across to Chrome for Android instead. Last I checked the stock browser did not have any high-DPI support, so simply does not support this. I'd recommend just testing on Chrome.

  An iPad Mini 2 apparently has 1 GB RAM, so it should be fine with that much... but still, 300mb estimated memory for a mobile device is quite a lot, perhaps the tips in Remember not to waste your memory will help.

  No save system is hack-proof, because if the game can read the save, then so can someone else (in theory).

  NW.js storage is entirely separate from the browser. Clearing cookies/offline data/uninstalling any other browser on the system has no effect on NW.js' own storage.

  The | is a logical OR operator. It deals only with true or false values. IIRC a non-empty string counts as true, so "C#"|"Db" will always return true (1), and then you compare the array value to 1.

  With the new Cordova-based export it should be easier than ever to publish to iOS. The further back you go the harder it was, so I'd note carefully how old the other posts you've read are.

  Sorry, there is nothing we can do without the steps to reproduce the problem, as required by the guidelines. These need to include the .capx files of the projects you are using and instructions on precisely which object to copy and the way you are doing that. Closing.

  Given memory use is probably the most likely cause, what is the memory use of the game that is crashing as measured by C2? (It estimates it in the editor status bar, or you can view it from the debugger.)

  I haven't used ST3, so unless you describe specific shortcuts with a clear definition of what they do in the context of the C2/C3 editor, I won't know what you want.

  matrixreal - both ways use collision cells, but it is faster to check "Every X seconds" first. Then it only does the collision check on the timer. If you check the collision then have "Every X seconds", it will wastefully check the collision every tick, and ignore the result every tick apart from the times "Every X seconds" is true.
