  • Nitro187 - I also tried that tool. Even running that tool as administrator and C2 without administrator, locking the backup1 file, then saving over it... still no hang!

    What are the system specs of everyone affected? I am not affected on Windows 8.1 64-bit with Construct 2 r194.2 64-bit.

  • Think this should be fixed, will have a r194.2 out shortly to address this and one other issue.

  • Thanks, should be fixed in the next build (should have a r194.2 out soon)

  • I also tried using a utility to deliberately lock a file (Easy File Locker: http://www.xoslab.com/efl.html)

    With the .backup1 file locked, C2 could not overwrite it, but it still did not hang.

  • Nitro187 - that's exactly what I did, with WinRAR. It worked fine here... perhaps there's another tool that can lock files?

  • Ejecta support has not been removed, only deprecated, so it is hidden by default. You can bring it back by right-clicking the exporter window and selecting "Show deprecated exporters". I wouldn't recommend you use it though - options like Cordova are now much better. Ejecta is not a real browser engine so is very difficult to support, and is riddled with minor incompatibilities like the character encoding issue you describe. If you still want to use it and have issues I'd report them directly to the Ejecta project since we are not officially supporting it any more.

  • The implementation would be extremely complicated and it could have a performance impact across the whole engine even when the feature isn't used. I think there are workarounds to make it work like you need it to anyway, so I'm pretty hesitant about adding something like this.

  • "detect collision" is ambiguous, are you using "On collision" or "Is overlapping"? "On collision" has an internal "trigger once" so it only fires once per collision that occurs, so it's kind of meaningless to put "trigger once" after it, so I wouldn't expect that to do anything useful. And as jayderyu pointed out if you're using "Is overlapping" followed by "trigger once", you may as well use "On collision".

  • Shardik - no, an SSL certificate is not required (and not necessary if running over a local network). But for the Internet I would strongly recommend you get one since it improves connectivity (and security) for some devices.

  • I can't do anything about this because the problem has already happened with the .capx you've provided. (Rename it to .zip and open it to see the project folder inside.) It contains animations for objects which aren't in the project. "Save as single file" simply copies the entire contents of your project folder so it also carries the unnecessary files.

    To be able to do anything about this I need complete steps to reproduce, as in how you deleted an object without its files getting removed.

  • I can't reproduce the problem: I tried opening a .capx.backup1 file in WinRAR and pausing it half way through compressing, but Construct 2 could still complete a save without hanging. I'm on Windows 8.1. I don't think it actually updated the .capx.backup1 file, but if another app has it locked then there's no way around that. Still, it worked fine.

    Is there another way to reproduce this?

  • Thanks for the report, this should be fixed in the next build.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Closing as works for me in r193. We fixed an issue with 'Is overlapping at offset' in the recent betas so I guess this is probably the same issue. As per the bug report guidelines please only test with the latest release.
