  It looks like code from a third-party iframe plugin that has not been tested to work on non-browser engines and assumes the full browser is there. You will need to ask the plugin developer to fix it.

  inquiesco - try r179 - we included a fix for a bug where node-webkit could freeze sometimes on Windows.

  OK, I've made a tweak for the next beta that reverts a small change made in r172 that I think may have broken old Android browsers. Let me know how it goes when r180 is out.

  The 32-bit export should work fine out of the box without compatibility mode. Google Chrome itself is still 32-bit on Windows (and they only added an opt-in 64-bit build very recently, but it's not the default).

  No, it's not possible. Why would you want to do that anyway? You can just enable or disable them at runtime instead.

  The most common reason it doesn't work is the cross-domain security restrictions in the browser. This is documented.

  Yeah, we can't debug from images, we need projects.

  For a situation like this it would be nice if the debugger could provide you with a list of warnings when a situation like this arose. For example "Warning: this operation has no object instance".

  I think the Construct Classic debugger did something like this, but it wasn't especially useful. In a long event sheet the "zero instances action" can happen several times per tick for innocuous reasons, and that ends up spamming the log with huge amounts of irrelevant data, making it hard to pick out the cases where it really is a problem.

  I don't think anyone should be surprised that trying to modify an object that doesn't exist does nothing. However the Physics example in the OP is slightly different because it modifies a global state that affects everything, but still needs an instance to exist in order to do anything. This is a shortcoming of the event system, and currently there's no architecture in place that could make that work, so I don't think we could fix it easily.

  I've made a tweak to how disconnects are made in the next beta. I think the change to support kicking peers accidentally got a "leave room" line in the wrong place which I think you're running in to. Let me know how it goes when r180 is out.

  Can't reproduce - I only tested Android (a Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.4) and it ran just fine. What device are you testing on and what export options did you choose?

  It would also be useful if you could narrow it down to a particular release number that broke it. We made a lot of changes between r168 and r179.

  Sorry, it's a bug in our UI library, and I'm not sure we can fix it. The workaround is to pin the ribbon (so it doesn't keep auto-hiding), then type in a value and press enter.

  Oops, you're right, not sure how we missed it first time around. Fixed for the next beta.

  If I delete the Spriter plugin, it appears to render correctly. This suggests it is a problem with the Spriter plugin, not Construct 2. The Spriter plugin is maintained by Brashmonkey, so please report the problem to them instead.
