  I've been told that Crosswalk has been updated to a new version, so hopefully some issues are fixed now.

  Crosswalk uses the same blacklist as Chrome for Android. Does it still show WebGL in Chrome on that device with default settings? The blacklist is important - we used to have it disabled but some devices show a blank screen, crash, or get bricked, so it's kind of necessary to fall back to software rendering in those cases.

  KFC Kastas — / anyone else

  I just updated the code with a version which I think fixes that crash. Can you try it again and let me know if it works?

  I think WebGL mode will still accumulate memory like the canvas2d version, because the way Ejecta releases textures is slightly different and I had to make a small change in the runtime to accommodate it. So hopefully from the next build it will work properly so long as WebGL is enabled.

  This is by design. Autosave still makes saves even if you do not press the save button in the editor. The normal save is only updated when you click that.

  We have Windows-based servers that do not use OpenSSL, so Scirra servers have not been affected by the Heartbleed bug. However many other servers could have been affected, so if you share passwords across sites (which is a bad idea!), you should change all your passwords now. I recommend using KeePass to easily handle a different password on every website while only having to remember one.

  Please do not spam the forum with the same topic. I closed the following threads:

  CPU usage uses less battery than the screen just being on with modern phones, and the runtime suspends when the game goes in to the background so it should use zero CPU in that case.

  OK, I think another thing that might have changed is the order triggers fire in event includes. Previously it triggered on includes first then the main sheet, but I accidentally changed it to main sheet first then includes. This would probably have unpredictable effects on existing projects. I'll fix that for the next beta and hopefully everything will be back to normal.

  I'll have a new version up soon to try and fix the earlier mentioned problems, but giving it a spin yourself can't hurt.

  I don't think it has any important effect on performance or memory use.

  Have you read the three multiplayer tutorials? Syncing does not involve any transmission from peer to host, that's done by client input values, which you can send pretty much any data with.

  Always set the effect parameter from a variable, then just get/set that variable.

  It's not architecturally feasible to have an editor plugin SDK at the moment, so we implement things like Spriter support with custom code out of necessity. It would be better even for us if we could split it off in to a separate module, but that's not on the cards right now.

  Sounds like a bug in Chrome rather than a C2 problem. Does it happen in Firefox for Android?

  Other users are saying r166 is a lot better: https://www.scirra.com/forum/very-impressive-performance-boost-r166_t101315

  Is it the same in the Chrome browser?

  Are you definitely using Chrome and not the stock browser?
