  Posting only an error message in a bug report is a bit like taking a photo of the outside of your car and sending it to a mechanic asking if there's anything they can do to fix your car!

  I think it changed with the recent destroy objects optimisation, so it may not be cleaned up in the same call (it's difficult to support that without infinite-recursion edge cases), but it is cleaned up at least once a tick, so they should still be destroyed shortly after.

  Looks like box2d has a limit of 8 vertices per polygon. I've increased it to 16 for the next build, hopefully that will be enough.

  I can't tell why this is: the box2d calls both engines make are pretty much identical, so I guess this must be something that changed in the 2.2 - > 2.3 box2d update. However it looks like there's a workaround: if you set the crossbar object (Sprite3 in this example) linear damping to 1, it acts more like a solid joint and still similarly to box2dweb. My best guess is the latest box2d version now takes in to account a body's linear damping when calculating joints.

  Does setting the linear damping work around it for your game?

  OK, updated for the next build. I'm not clear on how far get_next() will go though - will it continue to iterate through all contacts in the world? That would impact performance. But added it anyway so it works correctly.

  Closing, please provide steps to reproduce that we can follow (in this case you need to provide the audio files in question). Based on previous reports I suspect you are not importing 16-bit PCM WAVs at a common sample rate.

  Closing as won't fix. There is no good workaround to this. C2 tries to leave files on disk to avoid wasting memory and reduce startup times. To fix this it would have to always load the entire project's images in to memory, using far more memory and much longer load times, just to not crash when you delete files it is actively using! Workaround: don't delete files Construct 2 is using

  The 'time' expression is affected by the time scale too! So in this case it is working correctly - when you set the time scale to 2 then the 'time' expression increases twice as fast as well. Like ramones says use the wallclocktime expression for a non-timescaled time.

  Can't reproduce on a Nexus 7 or Nexus 9, both running Android 5. I think it depends on the precision of the hardware. What actual device models have you tested on?

  NodeCount returns a number, but you are trying to pass that to a Text parameter. That's what the message means. I can't see what action you're using though because you've covered it up and not provided a .capx, but I assume this is working correctly.

  We have no control over the AAC encoder so there's nothing we can do about this I'm afraid - as a workaround you can find your own AAC encoder and import the .m4a files yourself.

  There is nothing we can do without steps to reproduce, so closing.

  Closing as not a bug (I guess it's a feature request?)
