  It should be easy to work around if you rely on object parameters instead of the string names of objects. No official features depend on strings of the object names, they rely exclusively on object parameters which export and minify correctly.

  I never see that in any .capx, nor have I ever heard any other users reporting the same issue. Without a way to reproduce the problem there is nothing we can do about it. But it sounds specific to your computer only. Does it happen on any other computers? Are your graphics card drivers up to date?

  Captain - that's what low-quality fullscreen mode already does.

  Arima - sounds like a pretty expensive way to solve it - and I think it would introduce new glitches on any tiles with transparency, since the last row of pixels would be doubled up.

  None of the Phaser tilemap demos that shinkan linked to appear to use floating point scaling or positioning. They look like they effectively have fullscreen mode set to 'Off' (for an in-page embed) and 'pixel rounding' to 'on'. You should get equally seamless results in Construct 2 in those circumstances.

  I'm still researching this, but I don't know of any other engines that have solved this when using floating point scaling or positioning. Every other example anyone has pointed to so far simply uses integer scaling and positioning. I'd be interested to find out the technical solutions to this problem.

  Note another workaround I mentioned in another thread: using 'low quality' fullscreen mode avoids floating point scaling from letterbox integer scale, and you may be able to then get by only setting 'pixel rounding' on.

  You should remove any callbacks you added and null out any references to objects. The runtime recycles destroyed objects so you want to make sure your object is in a clean state again for having onCreate() called on the same object again later.

  Make the helper functions member functions of the instance object. So attach them to instanceProto like the other functions and call them as this.helperFunction().

  I don't know, but surely the built-in 'On created' trigger does what you want anyway?

  Do you have Update 2 installed for VS2013?

  It was designed specifically for the Sprite plugin. I would not recommend using it.

  The host does not appear to make any attempt at all to set peers mirrored.

  'Is mirrored' simply means 'is the width negative'. The multiplayer engine does not transmit size data at all, so you need to implement your own way of transmitting the size or mirrored state.

  Closing, please contact us at . You will also need to provide a lot more information, since as far as we know everyone else is using their license files just fine.

  I would strongly recommend you do not use large images as backgrounds. This is a great way to get out of memory errors.

  Another workaround: since ordinary 'letterbox scale' introduces floating point scaling which can seam, try using 'low quality' fullscreen mode. Then you should be able to use letterbox scale without that causing seaming, but you may still need pixel rounding.
