  It's not clear from your events whether it's running in host or peer mode. In peer mode 'broadcast message' cannot be used. I'd also recommend making both the host and the peer in the same project, otherwise 'Sync object' will not work. As ever, a minimal .capx is essential to be able to help.

  Start with Multiplayer tutorial 1.

  Note multiplayer is only supported in Chrome and Firefox at the moment (and hopefully soon Crosswalk).

  Closing, no .capx provided, no other browsers tested, assuming you have a broken Chrome addon.

  Yeah, I doubt you could get it to render directly to the same canvas, both C2 and Three.js will be constantly clobbering the WebGL state that each tries to set.

  If you don't want the server to do any rendering work, make all the layers visible. If you like you can then put an extra layer on top with a text object with some information, but remember that text objects that change every tick can be slow on some setups, so you might want to just do 1 second updates or something.

  It's the % operator.

  'loadTexture' is the wrong function to use! It will allocate a whole new texture every call which will kill performance and leak memory.

  Call glw.createEmptyTexture(w, h, linearsampling) to create an empty texture, and update its contents with glw.videoToTexture(canvas, texture). Despite the name it can also copy a canvas to a texture. This may still be a bottleneck; on some system's WebGL implementations it could do a slow CPU-readback-and-upload, but efficient implementations should be able to do a GPU copy. If it turns out it's still slow, consider just having a separate canvas underlay as you already considered.

  In canvas2d mode you should just be able to drawImage() the canvas directly.

  You should report bugs in the Audio plugin if you find any. Ideally it will work fine for everyone everywhere and no alternatives will be necessary.

  Have you tried updating your graphics card drivers?

  Post it to the bugs forum following the guidelines and with a list of all affected shaders for further investigation.

  This is not an appropriate place to ask general programming questions. Try StackOverflow.

  The latest versions of Windows have actually been stripped back a bit to be able to run better on older systems, particularly since Windows 8+ are aimed at weaker mobile devices. Windows 8.1 will apparently run with a 1GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 16 GB disk space and a DX9-compatible graphics card. That probably covers a lot of older systems still.

  Windows 8.1 isn't that bad - you can boot to desktop and treat the metro mode just as a fullscreen start menu.
